Green Illusions

The Dirty Secrets of Clean Energy and the Future of Environmentalism

By: Ozzie Zehner

We don’t have an energy crisis. We have a consumption crisis. And this book, which takes aim at cherished assumptions regarding energy, offers refreshingly straight talk about what’s wrong with the way we think and talk about the problem. Though we generally believe we can solve environmental problems with more energy—more solar cells, wind turbines, and biofuels—alternative technologies come with their own side effects and limitations. How, for instance, do solar cells cause harm? Why can’t engineers solve wind power’s biggest obstacle? Why won’t contraception solve the problem of overpopulation lying at the heart of our concerns about energy, and what will? This practical, environmentally informed, and lucid book persuasively argues for a change of perspective. If consumption is the problem, as Ozzie Zehner suggests, then we need to shift our focus from suspect alternative energies to improving social and political fundamentals: walkable communities, improved consumption, enlightened governance, and, most notably, women’s rights. The dozens of first steps he offers are surprisingly straightforward. For instance, he introduces a simple sticker that promises a greater impact than all of the nation’s solar cells. He uncovers why carbon taxes won’t solve our energy challenges (and presents two taxes that could). Finally, he explores how future environmentalists will focus on similarly fresh alternatives that are affordable, clean, and can actually improve our well-being. Watch a book trailer.

Playing with God

Playing with God

By: Ozzie Ostwalt

Playing with God is a meditation on finding God and developing spirituality through the everyday joys, heartaches, loves, and challenges that all human beings experience and endure. This series of reflections began with a Lenten discipline and grew into a year-long experiment wherein the author simply tried to pay attention to spiritual realities underlying mundane life. God is everywhere; spirituality infuses everything; the divine energy that defines God is with us always. These are among the truths the author wants to highlight through his reflections on developing spirituality through intentionality. During his spiritual quest, Ostwalt discovered that God was particularly accessible when he (the author) was at playeither with his family, through sports, through the arts, or even when at play with the family dog. Playing with God challenges the reader to learn to play with God by recognizing the divine that resides in our everyday activities.

Claws

By: Ozzie Cheek

Enter the deadly safari and hunt down a blood-thirsty killer! When twenty-three lions, tigers, and ligers—a giant hybrid cat—appear in rural Idaho, town officials decide to hold the first safari in America. Only police chief Jackson Hobbs, a man haunted by loss and tragedy, and Katy Osborne, a talented hunting guide, seem to realize the potential danger of this situation. With the town desperate for money, the mayor, who also happens to be Jackson’s ex-wife, and her boyfriend are adamant that the Idaho Lion Hunt go forward even after people are killed. As the death toll rises and his own family is put at risk, Jackson must cope with a town doubled in population, the activity of a local antigovernment militia, a willful teenage daughter, an animal rescue group, a missing young boy, a dead state trooper, and Katy’s desire to save a rare liger named Kali. Betrayal blossoms alongside romance as Jackson gets closer and closer to discovering the identity of those who engineered this predator panic.

A Passion for the Game

By: Ozzie Guillén,Jim Stamborski

People think I will carry this 2005 season the rest of my career. February 18 is my first day in spring training. We will be world champion right to February 17, but on the 18th, we have a team for 2006. They have the ring, they already won and they have fun. But from that day on, I told my players, You have another couple of weeks to celebrate a championship.? When they put the uniform back on, that championship (bleep) is over.? ?from Chapter 11-2006 A New Season ?It's 2006 now. We?re 0-0 and we?re not champions anymore. We got to be hungry this year. Last year nobody picked us to do anything. Now everybody will be coming after us. I talked to the players and pitchers and said we got to get better. It's funny to say when you win 99 games, plus 11. But everybody has to go with that mentality.? ?from Chapter 11-2006 A New Season ?They?re already trying to make a movie about me in Venezuela, and somebody came to me about (writing) a book. I said, no. Why? Because I don?t want people to read the truth. I would do a book just to make money, but I don?t need money, so why waste my time?? ?from Chapter 10-Venezuela ?There's two kinds of education: book smart and street smart. You put me in Harvard at the podium to talk to people graduating. I know what I have to say, and I know how to say it. But you put Bill Gates in the middle of Caracas, Venezuela? He will (expletive) in his pants. He will die.? ?from Chapter 1-Ozzie on Ozzie ?The Cubs didn?t need Sammy Sosa to sell tickets. Sammy didn?t sell any tickets in Baltimore . . . I don?t believe one guy can bring people in. Michael Jackson would. People would come to see what he looks like in a uniform. I know I?d like to see that.? ?fromChapter 3-Humor ?Every time they (players) see me in the clubhouse, they go, Vroom! Under the bus!? But there's one thing about me: I will tell my players the truth, and they know it.? ?from Chapter 4-Baseball philosophy ?This is a Cubs town. You?ve got to win seven World Series in a row. Seven, not one. You go to Nike town, you only see Chicago Cubs stuff, and I don?t blame them, because we haven?t done anything to make that step. I want to change that.? ?from Chapter 9-Cubs ?You know what's tough?when you?re driving here and thinking about, God, I have to be Ozzie today? when you don?t feel like it. When you?ve lost three games in a row, four games in a row, seven?and I have to show up, open that door, and put a smile on my face and pat those guys on the butt and play with them and joke around when I?m dying inside. That's not easy. That's tough.? ?from Chapter 4-Baseball Philosophy
