"Good news isn't an escape from reality; it's the best way to improve reality," writes author-editor Gail Bernice Holland. In A Call for Connection, Holland reports on a pervasive global movement dedicated to spiritual growth and holistic concern for all life. What makes this book stand out amidst so much of the new paradigm blather is Holland's thorough reporting. She speaks with big-name leaders--such as Jane Goodall and Archbishop Desmond Tutu--as well as everyday leaders of institutes, schools, and environmental groups. Ultimately, we find proof of a worldwide network connected by the same principles: bridging spirituality and science, saving the earth through respecting the interconnectedness of life, and creating a work life that honors the home life. Holland pulls all the pieces together by providing a massive list of names and contacts for those who are no doubt inspired to join the movement. --Gail Hudson
