When I set out to write about my concern for the state of the world I promised myself that I wouldn't repeat work which someone else had already done. I decided that if I read something I liked I should just refer my readers to that rather than write about the subject myself.
The works listed below are my personal selections. They represent what I believe to be the best available literature, laboriously selected from the oceans of published material. For every item that made it onto the list below there are many others on my shelf that did not.
