所有關注地球未來的人，《大地，非石油》是必讀的著作；它讓我們勇於想像人民比利益更優先的世界。
書中席娃詳述了糧食危機、石油危機、氣候變遷的諸多關聯環節，假若我們只見一端未涉其餘，人類仍將走向末路。
席娃指責生質能源和農業成了生態和經濟浩劫的主因，也提出小型農場是最佳的替代之道。受害於飢荒的幾億人和瀕死的地球，唯有傾賴永續、生物多樣性的農場，方得以抵抗疾病、乾旱、洪水，餵養並保衛我們的後代子孫。《大地，非石油》見解果敢、具前瞻性，籲求回歸健全農業的原則，並奠基於自治、社區和環境正義的世界。

"The gold standard for communication training programs."
―USA Today
Business communication sucks. At each meeting and presentation, we are inundated with information, leaving us thirsting for inspiration. Sure, we will check off an action item because we have to . . . but what if we were actually inspired to do something? What if we were so moved that we wanted to do it?
Leaders must earn the license to lead. Not by expertise, authority, or title alone, but by influence. In Communicate to Influence, you will learn the secrets of the Decker Method―a framework that has been perfected over the past 36 years. Ben and Kelly Decker add fresh insights to these proven principles so that you can ignite change and inspire action. Discover:
-The Five White Lies of Communicating: learn which barriers prevent you from getting better
-The Communicator's Roadmap: use a tool to visually chart what type of communication experience you create
-The Behaviors of Trust: align what you say with how you say it to better connect with your audience
-The Decker Grid: shift your message from self-centered, all about me content to relevant, audience-centered content that drives action
You are called to communicate well. Not only on the main stage, under bright lights, but every time you speak with your colleagues, your clients, and other stakeholders. It's time to learn how. Stop informing. Start inspiring.
BEN DECKER & KELLY DECKER are the leading experts in the field of business communication.
