This response, while humorous, only applies if you are willing to reduce
human violence -- against people or the planet -- to testosterone. If
that is the case and we are willing to say that about men, then we have
accept that certain "female" behaviors are caused by our hormones. Are
you willing to have someone explain your behavior as reducible to chemistry?

Subject: New Sustainable Development Book Review
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
We are looking for potential reviewers, information on upcoming new
releases and other pertinent data, as well as interested university
departments/organizations who would like to receive multiple copies
of our book review (it's free for the asking).
OTHERWISE is a new bimonthly book review of the Earth Pledge
Foundation, a not-for-profit foundation that promotes sustainable
development as the most effective way of encouraging economic,
social and cultural activity that protects and supports the earth's
ecosystems.
It will feature about-to-be published books, with timely news of university,
alternative, international and mainstream publications.
OTHERWISE will explore two areas:
1.) the nature and practice of sustainable development, and
2.) the ecosystems impacted by development, including human ecosystems.
We begin publication in May 1995. Projected free university and
bookstore distribution of the 48 page book review is 10,000. One
third of our space is allotted to appropriate display advertising. Our
format is approximately 8 1/2" x 11", printed black and white on 90%
post consumer recycled newsprint using soybean based ink.
OTHERWISE will be accessible on the Internet via EPF's World
Wide Web server. The URL is http://www.earthpledge.org/. This is also
where you can find information on the Earth Pledge foundation's $100,000
Essay Contest and International Internet Dialogue on Sustainable Development.
Please let me know if you have knowledge of any potential reviewers
or new releases that should be considered for this publication and how
many free copies you would like to receive. Also, if you would like
additional information regarding advertising, I would be happy to send
you a rate card. Thank you for your assistance.
