Biography and Autobiography

Rosalie Bertell - Scientist, Eco-Feminist, Visionary

On Saturday afternoon we found ourselves at the words launch for a biography on Rosalie Bertell. It was an amazing opportunity to fulfil the woman who wrote 'Planet Earth: The Latest Weapon of War'

Since first reading this list back in 2002, it has become a major source for information and impulse. What's contained in those pages will frighten the bejeezus out of you, but is required reading for anyone upset about the future. If you thought Nuclear Weapons were bad, hang around until you get wind of the Electromagnetic Weapons of the 21st century. Whoa!

We got our copies signed, and had pictures entranced. I was happy to report that I'd given a copy of 'Planet Mother earth' to Mel Hurtig. Mel had dedicated his last book, in part, to her. Titled 'Rushing to Armageddon', it served as a main tool in keeping Canada out of (for now, at least officially) the US 'projectile defense' scheme. Seems that Rosalie is on the edge of understanding as Mel hadn't even heard of HAARP (one of the projects dissected in her libretto).

Her friend, Ursula Franklin was also there. Wow! all that and cookies too.
