The Reading List is intended to be a regularly updated page indented to provide resources to place the situation we find ourselves in within a historical and societal context. Informative and analytical pieces slightly outside the 24-Hour News Cycle to help us to understand that much of what is happening has historical precedent and societal causes. We also need to recognize that much of what is happening is the stress fractures of our civilization bumping up against the inconvenient constraints of planetary limits. Global crisis’s that have implications not only for our Nation, but human civilization as a whole.
If you come across something informative and thoughtful that you think would be helpful for this collection, please let us know.
