Status Updates From The Ursula Franklin Reader:...

"While it seems persuasive to describe things in a way that one must be either for or against, we do not live in the flat earth of an either-or world."

I'm just reading the introduction and Ursula Franklin's ideas are already blowing the doors off my house. Wow. Found this book in the Gilbert Bouchard collection at UAlberta and feeling grateful we were entrusted with his amazing collection.
