For those who are interested, please see the August 1980 issue of National Geographic for a biologic description of the inhabitants of a compost heap- it is a memorable article. I joined this conference for two reasons: I am a member of CPPNW and have an interest in Our Common Future from the perspective of the issues of nuclear war building, and nuclear uses; as well, I am working on a workshop on Our Common Future for a Soroptimist Conference in May and am interested in good material. In particular I am looking for sources of good information for a bibliography, not just in recycling, but in all the areas of environmental concern. I would also like to comment on plepp and his difficulty with this conference. He disliked the attitude of "ecological vengeance". I agree with that dislike wholeheartedly. Yet, there is some good material in this conference. The best material is in the process of discussion, but I would plead for the next step which is negotiation, and which occurs before compromise can be reached. I think that the techniques of conflict resolution would aid in this process. There is a good literature on conflict resolution. The reference for a source list of books is to be found in the conference cppnw.books. ========================== cppnw/books #61, from epowell, 2092 chars, Tue Nov 15 15:14:43 1988 -------------------------- TITLE: Conflict res Dear Friends, here is the bibliography I have used for my Personal Shalom course.
