Documentary - Trailer - Home by Yann Arthus Bertrand

Great video. The only part of concern is some of the audio commentary in the 2nd half.
It shifts our focus on to external problems / external actions. We need to fix this or that. More important - is to "fix our minds."

I couldn't resist -- one book:

Short History of Progress
Only 132 pages!
(+ 50 pages of footnotes)
- In other words -- if you read english and can either get this from a library
or order it at bookstore, you have ZERO excuse -

Better yet - get the illustrated version! Awesome!

Is the photo big enough? This is how important this book is.
