So you'd like to... Change the world
A guide by Jason Spiegel-Grote "jasongrote" (Brooklyn, NY)

Products sampled from this guide:
Reading a book - or shopping - isn't going to change much of anything. And keep in mind that this bookseller is guilty of union-busting. But these books can make excellent toolkits or provide you with resources, inspiration and/or talking points... Full disclosure: I have essays in the first two. But they're genuinely terrific and useful books, and it's not like I see any royalties from their sale...
