The Boulder story has everything - climate change, the way higher energy costs to rebuild could break budgets, and lessons in how unprepared we all are. Could the triple punch of climate, economic woes and escalating energy be the pathway toward the collapse of industrial civilization?
Then: Dan Imhoff is known for large-scale books, like CAFO the tragedy of industrial animal farming. Now he's out with a new album of vision called "Agraria".
