Featured Title: The Transition Handbook
In The Transition Handbook Rob Hopkins provides an essential toolkit outlining step by step the process of establishing a Transition Initiative in your locality. Based on the experience of setting up Transition Towns in Kinsale, Totnes and beyond, the book describes the key points in the process and acts as an encouraging and practical road map towards achieving resilient and thriving communities. The mechanics of establishing working groups, overcoming obstacles, projecting and planning, and garnering support are laid out in detail and the book has contributed to the success of a phenonmenon which has seen Transition towns and cities spring up worldwide. If you buy one book in 2009 make it this one!
Further details are available here and you can keep in touch with developments in the Transition Initiatives by visiting Rob's website at http://transitionculture.org/.
