'78
: the Boston Red Sox, a historic game, and a divided city
Reynolds, Bill, 1945-
New York : New American Library, c2009.
The inside story behind a crucial chapter in Red Sox lore-and a turbulent time
in a troubled city. George Steinbrenner called it the greatest game in the
history of American sports: on a bright October day in 1978, the Boston Red Sox
met the New York Yankees for an epic playoff game that would send one team to
the World Series, and leave the other cursed for almost a quarter of a century.
In this book, award-winning sports columnist Bill Reynolds tells the story of
the team and the players at this pivotal moment. This cultural history takes
readers through the social issues that divided Boston that summer, and
masterfully depicts their influence on one game beyond the realm of sports--From

Enough
: Discovering joy through simplicity and generosity
Hamilton, Adam, 1964-
Nashville, [Tenn.?] : Abingdon Press, 2009.
In recent years, rates plummeted, and our home equity became something to be
tapped into and spent rather than a source of security in retirement. We felt an
insatiable desire for more. And we found ourselves spending tomorrow's money
today in order to have what we hoped would satisfy. The result of all of this
was not greater happiness and satisfaction, but greater stress and anxiety.
Enough is an invitation to rediscover the Bible's wisdom when it comes to
prudent financial practices. In these pages are found the keys to experiencing
contentment, overcoming fear, and discovering joy through simplicity and
generosity. This book could change your life, by changing your relationship with
money.

possessions. With scintillating wit he addresses these questions and more,
exploring the reasons why every designer yearns to put a personal stamp on a
chair or an adjustable lamp, and where design ends and art begins.--From

The
necessary revolution : how individuals and organizations are working together to
create a sustainable world
New York : Doubleday, c2008.
From the Publisher: Imagine a world in which the excess energy from one business
would be used to heat another. Where buildings need less and less energy around
the world, and where "regenerative" commercial buildings-ones that
create more energy than they use-are being designed. A world in which
environmentally sound products and processes would be more cost-effective than
wasteful ones. A world in which corporations such as Costco, Nike, BP, and
countless others are forming partnerships with environmental and social justice
organizations to ensure better stewardship of the earth and better livelihoods
in the developing world. Now, stop imagining-that world is already emerging. A
revolution is underway in today's organizations. As Peter Senge and his co-
authors reveal in The Necessary Revolution, companies around the world are
boldly leading the change from dead-end "business as usual" tactics to
transformative strategies that are essential for creating a flourishing,
sustainable world. There is a long way to go, but the era of denial has ended.
Today's most innovative leaders are recognizing that for the sake of our
companies and our world, we must implement revolutionary-not just incremental-
changes in the way we live and work. Brimming with inspiring stories from
individuals and organizations tackling social and environmental problems around
the globe, THE NECESSARY REVOLUTION reveals how ordinary people at every level
are transforming their businesses and communities. By working collaboratively
across boundaries, they are exploring and putting into place unprecedented
solutions that move beyond just being "less bad" to creating pathways
that will enable us to flourish in an increasingly interdependent world. Among
the stories in these pages are the evolution of Sweden's "Green Zone,"
Alcoa's water use reduction goals, GE's ecoimagination initiative, and Seventh
Generation's decision to shift some of their advertising to youth-led social
change programs. At its heart, THE NECESSARY REVOLUTION contains a wealth of
strategies that individuals and organizations can use-specific tools and ways of
thinking-to help us build the confidence and competence to respond effectively
to the greatest challenge of our time. It is an essential guidebook for all of
us who recognize the need to act and work together-now-to create a sustainable
world, both for ourselves and for the generations to follow.
