Coming Alive : Action & Civil Disobedience. This item is unavailable.Coming Alive : Action & Civil Disobedience

In 'Coming Alive' Taylor Brorby overcomes his trepidations and embraces the most powerful action of all standing by his words. He commits to what he values most family, home, the arts, the earth and becomes a role-model for how we can all learn to take a stand. With an introduction by Bill McKibben, an afterword by Kathleen Dean Moore, and photography by Paul Anderson, 'Coming Alive' is an intimate account of place and community: flares in North Dakota, pipeline protests, and the value of local action. 'Coming Alive' explores the wisdom in the phrase: A thousand mile journey starts with the first step. Taylor Brorby reveals a way to hope during uncertain times.
