DESCRIPTION:Michael Goldstein reads from his new book, Return of the Light:  A 
 Political Fable in Which the American People Retake Their 
 Country.\n\nMichael Parenti, author of The Face of Imperialism and Contrary 
 Notions, hails the book as “a utopian Looking Backward analysis of 
 society and how a prosperous, equitable politico-economy can be created. 
 Clearly written, hopeful and useful for those interested in building a real 
 democracy.”\n\nDon Hazen, Executive Editor of Alternet, notes that the 
 book “catalogues the failures of consumer capitalism and the future 
 solutions, at the same time and place — a very encouraging read, in a 
 time of little optimism.”\n\nIt is the night of the Winter Solstice in 
 2120. At one of thousands of community gatherings across the United States, 
 a storyteller does the annual retelling of how, back in 2023, a decade-long 
 movement culminated in the people taking over their own government, making 
 it a means for mobilizing their collective power to promote peace, social 
 justice, environmental responsibility, and a society hospitable to the 
 needs of the human spirit.\n\nPart vision of the road forward for today's 
 concerned citizens, part organizing tool, Return of the Light is a 
 wonderful source of hope and inspiration.\n\nMichael Goldstein blogs in the 
 Huffington Post and OpenSalon.com, focusing on the need to move beyond the 
 teeter-totter of the two-party system and the means to do so. Goldstein 
 works as a mediator and death-penalty appeals lawyer in Northern 
 California\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2013/11/11/18746230.php
