Congratulations to author John Sells for winning the first place award in general non-fiction at the 2012 Los Angeles Book Festival. Stagecoaches Across the American West 1850–1920 is a fascinating and thorough history of the stagecoach—an iconic Old West fixture—and the entrepreneurial risk-takers who ran them.

Congratulations to Bob Harrington for his Canadian Hillman Prize nomination for his illuminating series on dams in rabble.ca.

Bob and his wife, Linda, are lifelong environmentalists. Their two most recent books—The Soul Solution and Testimony for Earth—are essential reading for us all.

The Soul Solution: The Need for a Theology of the Earth — a plea for humanity to reconnect with Nature and rebuild its relationship with the Earth.

Testimony for Earth: A Worldview to Save the Planet and Ourselves — an indispensable blueprint for our survival.

And also check this gifted and thoughtful writer's earlier books: Listening to the Earth: A Spiritual Journey with Nature and To Heal the Earth: The Case for an Earth Ethic.
