I must admit that I was pretty excited to see that we’re doing a new edition of Green Plans: Blueprint for a Sustainable Earth.  This edition won’t be available until Spring, 2008, but here’s some praise for the earlier editions:

"As we strive to implement sustainable development, we must share
experience of how green plans can work, as Huey D. Johnson has done
here. Green Plans is a necessary book that many of us need to
read."—Gro Harlem Brundtland, Prime Minister of Norway

"This book is quite informative. It would be useful for anyone seeking
(detailed) knowledge about designing a ‘greenprint for sustainability.’
. . . As one of the first books to deal with the development, implementation, and performance of green plans, this is certainly a
welcome addition to the literature relating to the operationalisation
and implementation of the concept of sustainability."—Environmental Politics

Green Plans: Blueprint for a Sustainable Earth revised and updated edition includes global green plans and an afterword by the author.  Although you have to wait until spring to read this edition, you can see the cover now. 

Yet another reason to look forward to spring is Crisis and Opportunity: Sustainability in American Agriculture by John E. Ikerd.  Economist and supporter of sustainable agriculture John E. Ikerd examines the issues that surround agriculture and the problems industrialized agriculture have created. 

In the meantime, you may want to check out Good Growing: Why Organic Farming Works by Leslie A. Duram, Roots of Change: Nebraska’s New Agriculture by Mary Ridder.
