Update on blog topics

I wrote another essay: one which chronicles recent environmental history (including Vice President Al Gore's campaign for a more proactive US leadership role on the climate issue) and does an analysis of social, economic and ecological factors influencing the viability of the Hummer and Prius brands. I will not include that essay on this blog, however. Rather, going forward, I will write stuff designed specifically for inclusion in this blog. The subjects of the blog entries will be drawn mostly, though not entirely, from books, magazine articles, music, movies and current event stories (NPR, TV News programs) I find interesting. That's it for now.
