Legendary \u003ci\u003eDiet for a Small Planet\u003c\/i\u003e author Frances Moore Lapp  and organizer-scholar Adam Eichen offer a fresh, surprising response to this core crisis. This intergenerational duo opens with an essential truth: It's not the magnitude of a challenge that crushes the human spirit. It's feeling powerless--in this case, fearing that to stand up for democracy is futile. It's not, Lapp  and Eichen argue. With riveting stories and little-known evidence, they demystify how we got here, exposing the well-orchestrated effort that has robbed Americans of their rightful power. But at the heart of this unique book are solutions. Even in this divisive time, Americans are uniting across causes and ideologies to create a \"canopy of hope\" the authors call the Democracy Movement. In this invigorating \"movement of movements,\" millions of Americans are leaving despair behind as they push for and achieve historic change. The movement and democracy itself are vital to us as citizens and fulfill human needs--for power, meaning, and connection--essential to our thriving. In this timely and necessary book, Lapp  and Eichen offer proof that courage is contagious in the daring fight for democracy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frances Moore Lappe, Adam Eichen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807023817\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807023815\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Beacon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.60d","brand":"Frances Moore Lappe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44410901168383,"sku":"9780807023815","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_45446c6d-0208-4f9a-901b-20cda0dbab8c.jpg?v=1697538197","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/daring-democracy-frances-moore-lappe-9780807023815","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
