As you know, we're working on a book about how to change the world. As part of that, we want to make sure to recommend good resources which will help readers learn more about the topics we cover. You guys are a smart and well-read crowd: we want to know what books you think should go on a required reading list of worldchanging books.

1. Cradle to Cradle by William McDonough and Michael Braungart 2. Pale Blue Dot by Carl Sagan. A worldview-changing book! 3. The Age of Consent (published in the US under the awful title Manifesto for a New World Order) by George Monbiot 4. The Mars Trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson (ok, that's three books, but utopian fiction doesn't get any better) 5. World Federation? A Critical Analysis by Ronald J. Glossop. Obscure but very important.
