Buy the Book is a roadmap to where we've been and where we might be going both as individuals and as members of a complex society. It also offers insights on some of today's most pressing issues - parenting, social problems, science and technology, peace, personal change and more. As nothing seems to matter to us anymore unless we have paid hard-earned American cash for it, the book has been titles Buy the Book as homage to Abbie Hoffman's classic Steal This Book. In his day, Hoffman's book was a slap in the face (albeit with a gloved harlequin's hand) to capitalism, which this book also is, but in a more timely, twenty-first century manner befitting the materialistic mood that has overtaken all other ideologies. As such, Buy the Book is about hard-won truths, the new ideologies, and having strong opinions on issues that are relevant to us all. It's funny, angry, contemplative, challenging, insightful and entertaining, with numerous color plates as well. All told, it is one of those rare books that you'll want to keep as a resource that will make you laugh, make you cry, and give you hope for the future.Weaver, Amy is the author of 'Buy the Book', published 2003 under ISBN 9780974240213 and ISBN 0974240214.
