	Amazon.com: Reviews for Ecotopia Emerging: Books: Ernest Callenbach (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In this particular novel Ernest Callenbach tries to really show his interest in how much better the world would be as an Ecotopia, but I feel as though many of his points would take so long to actually progress within our society that we wouldn't get anywhere from an ecotoia.
		Ernest saw this coming and was trying to explain to people how serious this is. The book itself is not written very well, which is why people seem to get lost in its translation.
		Callenbach's Ecotopia is one for the ages, I just wish that he could have brought the picture a little more close to home for me as the reader.

	Turf: The Green Dream: The Man Who Invented Ecotopia
		Ernest Callenbach: History is a spotty thing; it moves back and forth, and so there's been some backsliding from where we were in 1975, especially on the internal combustion engine.
		Callenbach: Well, it's partly just because I live here [in Berkeley, Calif.] If you're going to write a novel about a place, you'd better have a fair amount of knowledge about what the place is like and what the people who inhabit it are like.
		Callenbach: Well, I think in city design all over the world, there are new things happening; that planners at least have pretty well gotten the picture that you can't build yourself enough freeways to maintain the auto transit system in the long run.

	Amazon.de: Ecology: A Pocket Guide: English Books: Ernest Callenbach (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Ernest Callenbach, the author of the futuristic novel Ecotopia, aims with this little primer to increase our ecological literacy, and thus our ability to act on pressing environmental problems with a better informed vision.
		Nature bats last.") Callenbach shows that all environmental relationships are reciprocal, and that if you tinker with one element of an ecosystem--by, say, removing trees from a rainforest--you are likely to alter other elements as well, more often than not for the worse.
		His lively entries cover the basic chemistry of air, the usefulness of bacteria (from which, Callenbach reminds us, all life forms descended), the ecosystemic effects of industrial pollution, and the principles of sustainable city design--all in the space of 150 pages.

		Callenbach's book does not come without flaws, but it was a fun read, with many practical ideas about constructing an ecologically friendly world.
		That was the magic Ernest Callenbach shares with Heinlein--both slam-dunk you into their society and make you believe it.
		Callenbach presents every discredited socialist dream of the past century, with a straight face, as panaceas to the 'dangers' eco-nazis fret about o' nights.

	Cloggie :: Esseff :: Millennial Reviews: XXVIII Ecotopia - Ernest Callenbach
		This is handy, as it lets Callenbach insert long lectures about the structure of Ecotopia and moralise about the evils of the USA [which is still bogged down in South East Asia and also in Brazil, to the tune of 5000 war deaths a year].
		Callenbach mentions pointedly that all of the contraception is under women's control, no male pill used in Ecotopia at all and one assumes no condoms.
		I don't have Callenbach's faith his Ecotopia would work in the absence of an author able to wave conflicts away with 'There was long discussion and then everyone agreed with the concensus'.

	Lit \| San Francisco Bay Guardian
		In person Callenbach is an unlikely revolutionary, slight and soft-spoken and now graying.
		Callenbach's San Francisco is the capital of Ecotopia.
		Market Street is a creek, there are free bicycles and eco-efficient Muni-style trains, skyscrapers have been put to use as housing and marketplaces, people collect on corners to picnic, play, barter, and banter, as at an urban Renaissance fair.

	Ernest Callenbach, Who We Are (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Ernest Callenbach’s novel Ecotopia (1975), a portrait of a future ecologically sustainable society, was initially rejected by virtually every publisher in New York.
		Ernest Callenbach and Michael Phillips (author of The Seven Laws Of Money, Honest Business, and Simple Living Investments) have done us all a great service by seriously exploring the possibility of a truly representative legislature.

	Peak Oil News & Message Boards >> Forums >> Book/Media Reviews >> "Ecotopia" Ernest Callenbach
		Since Ecotopia, by design, is a country where people live closer to the earth, and the kids are taught to understand their place among the natural processes, there is a natural synchronicity between student, students, teacher and classroom.
		Callenbach spoke of steady-state and I, myself with a physics background, bought into the cause and effect natural world-to-natural science-to-mechanical engineering argument that he presented.
		However, and this is just a critical appraisal of the summary you provided, Callenbach threw in stuff from the prevailing atmosphere of the 70s to create a novel.

		They were able to do this because economic conditions in the United States were so bad (apparently Callenbach assumed the problems of the 1970's would continue to spiral us downwards) that the government could not mount an effective civil war to bring the states back into the fold.
		Callenbach proves to us that a return to nature produces an oversexed population, a behavior Weston is more than willing to take part in.
		For example, in Callenbach's fabled nation, San Francisco's underground streams and creeks have been daylighted; schools don't have curricula or administrators; drug addictions are treated rather than punished; the work week is 20 hours; and the word "consumer" is not used in polite company.

		Little acknowledged is Callenbach’s exploration of democracy and its functioning in a sustainable society.

	Terrain.org - Review by Don Weiss
		Ernest Callenbach, author of the famous utopian novel Ecotopia, thinks this is an unduly negative view.
		If they are allowed to develop organically, with an emphasis on complex interactions of living, working, shopping and recreation within neighborhoods, they can develop into what he calls "modern ecocities." This is, after all, the logical extension in human affairs of the wisdom gained from studying natural processes, the wisdom that is ecology.
		Callenbach wisely refuses to draw a line between human artifacts and processes and natural ones—after all, we're a part of the world, too.

	Bring Back the Buffalo! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)

		Callenbach offers persuasive financial and environmental reasons for returning the Great Plains, the high, dry grassland region extending through ten states, to the bison that once flourished there, where European animals and farming methods have not.

	Bring Back the Buffalo! by Ernest Callenbach
		Ernest Callenbach portrays the history and present situation of the buffalo in American Plains, and outlines the substantial benefits to the human economy in the region that could result from restoring buffalo to their former prominence.
		Because buffalo are adapted to the ecology of the Plains and cattle are not, buffalo can be more efficiently produced, and this efficiency will be important, Callenbach believes, as fewer energy inputs are available to agriculture in the years to come.
		"Ernest Callenbach has offered a brilliant, positive, and eminently practical vision.
