PUBLICATIONS FROM FEASTA

Feasta publishes a variety of materials each year in conjunction with Feasta members and other authors. Publishing ranges from reviews and books to leaflets and briefing papers. As a matter of policy, all our publications are made available free on the website on the day they are published in the hard copy version even if they are to be sold. Feasta's briefing papers are organised by theme and can be downloaded from the working group links in the left-hand menu (energy, food, etc). Below is a list of books published by Feasta.

The Feasta Review

Editors, Richard Douthwaite and John Jopling.

The Feasta Review aims to bring together in a permanent form some of the thinking that has been going on within Feasta over the preceding two or three years. Each issue carries the text of the Feasta lectures in the period, plus additional articles by the lecturers so that further aspects of their thinking can be explored.

Feasta Review 1, 2001

This discusses the crucial economic changes that have to be made to bring about a sustainable and fairer future. It includes Herman Daly's Feasta lecture on "Uneconomic growth", David Korten's on public attitudes to globalisation and the rights of money versus the rights of living persons.

Feasta Review 2: Growth, the Celtic Cancer, 2004

This analyses why the global economy damages our health and society and suggests ways to eliminate the human cost of economic growth and globalisation.

Feasta Review 3 - Conserving the Global Commons, 2006/7 (in preparation)

Articles will cover fisheries management (based on papers given at a 2002 Feasta conference), site value taxation (papers from the Land conference), climate and emissions issues. There will also be three Feasta lecture-texts.

Before the Wells Run Dry: Ireland's Transition to Renewable Energy, 2003

This book was developed from the proceedings of a three day conference Feasta held in 2002. After discussing the world's peaking oil supply, the book explores possible strategies for making the transition to renewables and concludes that the switch could be completed within fifty years if the right decisions are made immediately.

Feasta also made possible the publication of Living in the Cracks, by a Czech member, Nadia Johanisova, finding the money for the printing and getting a volunteer to edit the text. The book looks at the strengths and weaknesses of rural social enterprises in Britain and the Czech Republic.
