ABOUT THE BOOK

Drawing on the work of independent thinkers, economists, scientists and historical evidence going back thousands of years, this book challenges conventional thinking about global warming, overpopulation, sustainable agriculture, social and economic injustice, clean energy, environmental pollution, greenhouse gases and zero carbon -and how best to heal our ailing world.

The book argues that the most important element in helping us understand just where it is that we have gone wrong, and how best to go about fixing it, is to first examine the oft-forgotten connection between land use and monetary policy. Examples of how the current monetary system serves to undermine all efforts to right the planet are sprinkled throughout the book and contrast sharply with the types of environmental, monetary, legal and economic reforms that many of the world's leading independent thinkers agree are necessary if we are to avoid environmental and social catastrophe.

The first portion of the book focuses on the relationship between climate change and land use, particularly in the agriculture and energy arenas. Here the reader is introduced to a unique form of agriculture known as regenerative agriculture - through which it is possible to dramatically reduce CO2 and associated soil and water pollution while at the same time help to rebuild our dangerously depleted agricultural soils. Surprisingly, this form of agriculture can also dramatically reduce the amount of land devoted to food production and at the same time provide us with the astonishing ability to feed the world's billions 20 or 30 times over with high quality, nutrient dense foods. In this first portion of the book the reader also learns about “land friendly” energy alternatives that bear little resemblance to today's land hungry “clean” or “green” energy alternatives.

The last portion of the book explores the relationship between land use and monetary policy which the modern world inherited from ancient Mesopotamia. It is the extractive nature of this monetary system which encourages the high risk gambling characteristic of trifecta bets that destroys the land and deprives the people of the fruits of their labor. Land use is the problem and “land friendly” monetary reform is the solution.

Indie author scores two new awards for her book Climate Change, Land Use and Monetary Policy: The New Trifecta

Geraldine Perry scores two more awards for her second book Climate Change, Land Use and Monetary Policy: The New Trifecta. Following the pattern established in her first book The Two Faces of Money, the author draws upon some of the world's leading independent thinkers and historical evidence going back thousands of years in order to take a fresh look at climate change and environmental, social and economic destruction. The result yields some surprising new solutions.

May, 2015 - Indie author Geraldine Perry has garnered two more awards for her book Climate Change, Land Use and Monetary Policy The New Trifecta. On May 11 Geri was informed that her book had placed in the nonfiction ebook category for the 2015 Eric Hoffer Book Awards. On May 17 she was informed that her book had placed in the 2015 National Indie Excellence Book Awards in the Environment/Political/Social category. Ms. Perry had previously been awarded the Spring 2014 NABE Pinnacle Book Achievement Award in the category of Environment.

In its description of Climate Change, Land Use and Monetary Policy The New Trifecta, the US Review of Books recently noted that “Perry intelligently examines the geopolitical history and monetary influences that have led civilization through environmental disasters, collapse, and present-day threats and kicks off the discussion of real environmental change. Our concept of actual wealth needs to be redefined, abandoning the prevalent concept of perceived wealth that is creating havoc on the planet as well as the monetary system itself.. .” Gib Halverson, Board Member of the Robert Schalkenbach Foundation says that “This extremely well written book knits together climate change, land use and monetary policy in a new and enlightened way.” The author herself makes the case that “we delude ourselves into thinking that we, as a society, can create wealth through debt. In so doing we end up robbing from nature and our own future, setting ourselves up for certain catastrophe. There is a better way.”

Geraldine Perry has a Master's Degree in Education and an undergraduate minor in Library Science. Her subsequent training as a Certified Natural Health Consultant led to an increased interest in agriculture and the environment, and ultimately to the need for systemic monetary reform. This is her second published book. The first was The Two Faces of Money, co-authored with Ken Fousek.

Climate Change, Land Use and Monetary Policy The New Trifecta is available at Barnes and Noble, Books-a-Million, Powell Books, and Amazon, or it can be ordered through a bookstore near you. ISBN: 978-1-60047-927-4. eBook $9.99; paperback, 292 pages, $16.95

Nasa-funded study warning of global collapse bolsters main themes of new book on environment

March 21, 2014 - Like the recently published study sponsored by Nasa's Goddard Space Flight Center, Geraldine Perry's new book Climate Change, Land Use and Monetary Policy: The New Trifecta utilizes historical examples to illustrate that civilization's “process of rise-and-collapse is actually a recurrent cycle found throughout history.” Similar to what was uncovered by the Nasa study, Perry argues that the multiple, seemingly unrelated crises now facing us, including growing wealth disparity, all stem from land use. In addition, Perry takes a look at the monetary policies which have driven unsustainable forms of land use for millennia and describes how monetary policy might be reformed in such a way as to be both constitutionally faithful and “land friendly.”

New book takes fresh look at climate change and environmental destruction, yields new solutions

February 2014– Ever feel overwhelmed by the multiple, seemingly unrelated crises now facing us? Crises which run the gamut from climate change and extreme weather events, to cascading levels of pollution, environmental degradation and resource exploitation, to economic policies that do little to halt the forward momentum of social and economic injustice or the growing wealth gap between the richest of the rich and the rest of us?

In her new book Climate Change, Land Use and Monetary Policy: The New Trifecta author Geraldine Perry makes the case that in order to find viable solutions for all these ills we must first accurately identify the problem. That problem is land use and the monetary policies which have driven it for millennia.
