Recent Book: Vision: The Greening of America

At last a book that can be recommended to those who are tired of trite commentaries relative to the current American scene! Charles A. Reich is a Yale Law School professor who, even though he'll never see forty again, knows what's happening. The Greening of America is a message of hope, a vision of life, and an explication of the revolution in consciousness that is observable world-wide, and particularly evident in our country. It is a book for all citizens, but particularly useful to scholars and practitioners involved with the processes of social control. Every criminal justice practitionerpoliceman, public defender, prosecutor, judge, jury member, probation or parole or corrections officer-and every criminal justice clientcomplainant, informant, informer, first-time offender, recidivist, witness, victim-should read and re-read this pertinent and timely, scholarly and sophisticated, hopeful societal commentary. Those who think that registering voters and invoking the political process will suffice to solve our serious problems will be as disappointed in this book as those who think that molotov cocktails and dynamite are the answer. Professor Reich demonstrates an awareness of the dignity of man, and a monumental contempt for all that is violent and dehumanizing. His vision is one of love and trust and the ultimate victory of virtue, the final peaceful conquest of might by right. It is his contention that all people-hard-hat and hippie, black and bigot, peacenik and pentagonian-e-share, deep inside, the vision of a better life-physical, mental, psychological, moral-and that they really can, as brothers and sisters, overcome the fears and hatreds and divisions and living death of a soulless society. His categorizations of Consciousness T, II, and III will enable the reader to evaluate and identify his own consciousness, that of his family-grandparents, parents, siblings, mates, children-, and that of colleagues, friends, acquaintances, as individual social consciousness has grown, atrophied, built, sickened, stretched, awakened, calloused, flowered, over the decades of our recent past. For the younger generation in criminal justice (20-40), this book will serve as jumping-off point for dialogue and discussion; for the older generation (40-60), the book will serve as an invaluable essay on the thinking and feeling of a new society of free Americans that is attracting recruits at a rapid rate. Some criminal justice practitioners, frightened and "uptight" will shake their heads and frown as they read the book; but many criminal justice heads will nod and smile as they sense the "vibrations" that link them with all those who choose life rather than death, and they will connect its message of hope with their responsibilities for protecting our communities from all varieties of violence. For all engaged in criminal justice, The Greening of America is must reading. A. C. GERMANN
