Hot off the presses, the Ethos Foundation book shop now has available "Visionaries of the 20th Century: A Resurgence Anthology" edited by Satish Kumar and Freddie Whitefield. This extraordinary reference book brings together the lives and works of 100 great men and women who have offered inspiration, hope and healing. Despite the conflicts of the 20th century, many heroic individuals kept alive the hope of a sane and sustainable future through their example, ideas and vision. Their influence helped to bring an end to colonialism and imperialism, apartheid and authoritarian regimes, and they also helped to foster the resurgence of an ecological, holistic and spiritual vision which increasingly resonates in the world today.

"Visionaries of the 20th Century" includes:

• World leaders: Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King and The Dalai Lama
• Spiritual figures: Krishnamurti, Bede Griffiths, Matthew Fox and Thich Nhat Hanh
• Writers: Wendell Berry, Kahlil Gibran, Kathleen Raine and Arundhati Roy
• Scientists: Rachel Carson, Jane Goodall and James Lovelock
• Organic pioneers: Lady Eve Balfour and H.J. Massingham
