Fanfare aims to further solidarity, diversity, equity/justice, self management, sustainability/stewardship, and internationalism through new defining institutions of the society's polity, culture/community, kinship, and economy.

The text of the volumes are available, in full, using the links in the left menu above. Clicking each of those book links shows a submenu listing each chapter in the chosen book. Clicking a chapter link, opens a display area over the rest of this page, where that chapter can be read.

This page offers the chapter titles of each book, to the right, so you can gauge your interest. Also to the right we have links to various articles, debates, multimedia, etc. that bear on the books, clarify, and augment them. In time there will be reviews, comments, etc. There are also links for purchasing the books.
