I have just come across your article "Understanding Change: The Dynamics of Social Transformation" on your website and have found it extremely useful for my research. I am currently trying to find out about "theories of change" with respect to generating change, particularly in the context of conflict resolution work. I have been able to draw a number of useful names and reading suggestions from your article, especially Chin, Benne and Bennis. Thank you very much.

Hello! Just wanting to send you a little appreciation for being a fellow content provider on the web. I'm doing a sermon about Permaculture for Earth Day and your interview with Bill Mollison was just great. I hope its okay if I quote from it in my sermon. I put all my sermons on the web so I'll link to your site so people can see your extensive archive. I first heard Bill interviewed on a public radio station in Tampa, FL. He is spellbinding to listen to because he has such an important message for the world and it makes so much sense! Faithfully yours,

I quote from your interview with Richard Rodriguez:

"When Richard Rodriguez entered first grade at Sacred Heart School in Sacramento, California, his English vocabulary consisted of barely fifty words. All his classmates were white."

Why do you have to adopt such a racist pitch? Richard Rodriguez is also "white", just like a Hungarian is "white"; his skin color is dark like that of many Mediterraneans or Israelis. You really meant to tell us that he was not an English speaker and a Mexican. I am sure that this was part of your selling tactics. Rest assured that if you were Mexican, Mr London, you would also be called a coconut. Don't be so naive. I know that you and your acolytes would love to convert this man into a James Baldwin. We have here a self-made western man dealing with a herd of semi-educated racialist barbarians, like yourself. Best wishes.

Have just finished reading John Ralston Saul's book Voltaire's Bastards, and it had actually made me so angry by the end of it, I resolved to sit down and write to a good friend of mine who had recommended the book to me. Before doing so, I typed the book's name and author into Google and your review popped up. I just thought I should write to you and say how much I agreed with your review. I have laboured through this book for the past three months (I'm a slow reader!), agreeing with Saul's observations, arguments and insights, but dismayed that the book did not progress to offer any solutions. As a professional and very much a product of Saul-observed "systems" it angered me, and the exercise of reading this book did not inspire me at all. It actually reminded me of Karl Marx's Das Capital — a fantastic critique of society (and its ills) at the time of writing, but not offering any tangible solutions. Socriatic maybe — but academic and hollow. Thanks for your review — really well written, by the way.
