Rezensionen

The further we get away from nature the more troubles we encounter in health and education. Going green will be returning to our natural instincts. Clearly Jamal Ali understands this and has expressed it as it has never been expressed or explained before. This is a must read.--Tyrone Powers Ph.D., director, Homeland Security and Criminal Justice Institute, author of Eyes to My Soul: The Rise or Decline of a Black FBI Agent
