I was tagged a while ago by Melissa from Poet with a Day Job to take part in the Bookworm meme.
RULE ONE, I have to grab one of the books closest to me, go to page 56, type the fifth line and the next two to five lines that follow.
Book: Earth for Sale - Brian Tokar
A broader historical outlook on the development of the regulatory system is necessary if activists are to reach much beyond limited, technical debates and regain the inititiative on behalf of public health and ecological integrity.
btw - the book is a fascinating history of environmental activism in the USA, but it is dated and so doesn't give a current assessment of the situation.
RULE TWO, I have to pick five people who love books and who could receive the Bookworm award with honour.
Actually this has been around and about so often that I'll just say, if you want to do it, please do and let me know so I can come and read your replies!
And remember, there's still time to enter my Book Giveaway. I'll be putting names into a hat early next week, if you want to be in with a chance of winning some of these books, please go here.
hooray!
