The Bush-School vs. Civilization: The Story of New Zealand's Deep Green Bush-School
The book I didn't want to write and don't want to publish.  Read all the details of the short (but drama-filled) existence of the Deep Green Bush-School in my now-completed book.  A look at the strengths and weaknesses of the DGBS school model, the personalities involved, and how it all played out, as seen through the lens of the Deep Green Bush-School anti-civ philosophy. 
This is the story of a beautiful school philosophy and the attempt to implement it by very flawed people (including me):  one very naive founder, one very deceitful founder, a kaleidoscope of sometimes-questionable parents, hostile neighbors, an apathetic Ministry of Education, and a ridiculous ERO (school inspection) system. Whatever you've heard, be prepared.  More than just opinion, details in the book are backed up by undeniable forms of proof.  There are many lessons to be learned - not just about running a school, but about relationships, about parenting, about civilization, and about human behavior. 
[Note: I have put publication temporarily on hold.]


Civilization is Coming for You! Fighting Back for a Better World  [working title]  This book is more my style.  It's a devastating critique of civilization and what to do about it.  It's an anti-civ self-defense manual.  Defend yourself against civilization!  No book can speed up the already-ongoing collapse of civilization (no matter how "devastating" the critique - jeez, what arrogance!), but darn it, this one will try.  Actually, now that I think of it, most books out there are already speeding up the collapse of civilization.  This one is just more obvious about it.  [Due late 2022]
