Weaving the Web: Carol Patterson http://www.planeta.com/ecotravel/weaving/carolpatterson.html

Ron, as you know, travel has created big changes in my life, including the creation of Kalahari Management 19 years ago. In the book **Reinventure: How Travel Adventure Can Change Your Life**, I share a few of my travel stories and those of the people I've met along the way.

One of the wonderful things about being a tourism consultant is visiting places before they are 'discovered' by tourists and getting behind-the-scenes tours. I think people will find these stories entertaining and get them thinking about a possible reinventure in their lives.

People can take the Reiventure Quiz at my new website [|www.loseyourluggagefindyourself.com,] find some suggestions for their next trip and share their own stories of transformation.

BACKGROUND
Our first choice are resources that highlight responsible travel, environmental conservation and cultural heritage. How do we nudge this along? Many of these books are featured on Planeta.com with links to Amazon.com. This is not a perfect way to facilitate sales and we encourage those interested to brainstorm about a better way of developing-promoting-selling the best of the best.

MORE BOOKS
- Being green is never black and white. This book sets out a practical sliding environmental scale from deep green to not even a little bit green. Instead of creating a scientific scale or worse, being preachy, this book is clever and witty. Each entry has a short introduction followed by as many shades of green as appropriate. Some subjects (holidays) are more complex than others (grapes). This is a fine resource documenting everything from the eco impact of babies to chocolate, tea and aeroplanes.

[|American Foundations] MIT Press, 2001 - The author conducted more than 200 interviews with foundation officers, critics, and grant recipients in addition to extensive research in foundation archives to assess the status of foundations. His assessment that organized philanthropy has been "slow to see problems coming, slow to respond, and quick to justify every decision" is accompanied by a series of suggestions on how to make reforms.
 * **Mark Dowie**

QUOTE - Foundation guidelines and statements of purpose change annually, even semiannually, to reflect the trend du jour ... One year //innovation// is the buzzword, next year it's //interdisciplinary//, then //multicultural, community-based, community-directed// or //experimental//. Grant writers call it 'mission creep.' Only the most agile can keep up. (p. 179) || ||
