When it comes to fairness, every kid knows that a parent can’t break a candy bar perfectly in half, for sharing. We grown-ups also know what it’s like not being treated fairly, and we know that much unfairness springs from such things as greed, or hatred, or anger, or prejudice, or misunderstanding, or even from the ways of Nature. But using these “big words” to explain unfairness to children will probably not work. And so, in this book, author Linus Mundy, offers words and examples that children will understand and relate to. Our children are ready to understand more about this big, wide world we live in. And they are ready to make it better for everyone, by making it more just, more fair.

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is recurrently depicted as an enterprise that unites humanity in a common pursuit of a more just and sustainable world. But how is this enterprise pursued on a planet that is enormously unequal? Drawing on biopolitical theory and rich empirical data from different contexts around the world, this book explores how ESD is unpacked depending on whether people are rich or poor. The book demonstrates how ESD is adapted to the lifestyles and living conditions of different populations. The implication of this depoliticized sensitivity to local ‘realities’, the book argues, is that inequality becomes accommodated and that different responsibilities are assigned to rich and poor. Ultimately, the book considers alternatives to this biopolitical divide.
Linus Mundy's booklet on Prayer-Walking was the topic of national attention when it appeared a little over a year ago.

He also offers suggestions for meditations, prayers, and prayer-starters. As a bonus, he includes four other first-person accounts of prayer-walkers, their stories, methods, and beliefs. -- What is Prayer-Walking? -- When and Where? -- How to Find Your Right Way? -- How Do You Prayer-Walk? -- What or Whom to Take With You? -- How Can You Tell When You're Really Prayer-Walking?
