Angela, I'm glad you're bringing HAARP up as an environmental issue. It certainly is serious, and seriously under-reported. I know of only a few sources: Project HAARP: The Military's Plan to Alter the Ionosphere, by Clare Zickuhr and Gar Smith in Earth Island Journal, Fall 1994 Mystery in Alaska by Mark Farmer in Popular Science, September 1995 You can write to: NO HAARP c/o Jim Roderick P.O. Box 916 Homer, AK 99603 Or look at the web site: http://www.netural.com/lip/haarp.html Of course the military has it's own site on the project. Good Luck, Joe Register [EMAIL PROTECTED] P.S. to the List: A number of people have requested that I forward the Earth Island Journal article via e-mail, which I have done. I will still be glad to forward the article to anyone who is interested. >From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Jul 26 13:50:18 1996 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 26 Jul 1996 15:50:15 -0400 (EDT) Date: Fri, 26 Jul 1996 15:50:15 -0400 (EDT) Subject: New Book To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Organization: Indiana University of Pennsylvania From: IN%"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" 26-JUL-1996 13:59:18.62 To: IN%"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" CC: Subj: book, help?

Timmons Roberts) Subject: Envtecsoc: Greening PEWS? Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: ENVIRONMENT TECHNOLOGY and SOCIETY <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Envtecsocers: This year, for the first time, the Political Economy of the World System section of the ASA (American Sociological Assocation) will have a session at the annual meetings on environmental issues and the world-system, chaired by Al Bergeson. A small cadre of us have been pushing for this session for years, and are glad to see it finally happening. Just a year ago the session was approved but cancelled because PEWS membership slipped just below the 400 mark: it seemed to be the session with the least political clout and got cut. Our goal is to green the PEWS section of the ASA. PEWS may just be beginning to wake up to the critical intersection between political economy and global environmental issues. Of course I also believe we environmental sociologists can be better informed by political economy perspectives. My point here is that PEWS would more readily "green" if some more E+T section members joined the section and if we flexed our collective muscle. PEWS again is at risk of slipping below 400 and needs members badly. I'm on the council and am recruiting members. I'll even sponsor five student memberships (first come, first served) for free (a whopping $5 value). For the rest of y'all it's just $10 for faculty/professionals and $5 for students. I believe the forwarded post below says more clearly why the core (sic) mission of the session is important in itself, and on how simple it is to join now. This sort of message might sound familiar to listmembers who are in the Environment Section of the ASA (American Sociological Association). Indeed I will make such a plea to the pews email list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) should our E+T membership drop near the line.
