<p><a href="http://www.sust-enable.com">The Sust Enable webcast series</a> was spawned in a climax of understanding&#8230; years of myriad input and countless bits of information collected over time at once coalesced into one artistic, complex and beautiful vision.  I&#8217;ve never experienced anything else quite like it.  This is why I sometimes refer to the project as my &#8220;opus&#8221;&#8211;it artistically expresses and defines who I was before this period.  Who I will be after, too, is forever altered by the work&#8217;s creation.  <em><strong>Like giving birth to a living being, the act of creation transcends your own capacity to control it</strong></em><strong>.</strong></p>

<p>I can only imagine that Keith Farnish&#8217;s comprehensive<em> <a href="http://www.amatterofscale.com">A Matter of Scale</a></em> was a similar labor of love.  One can sense the author&#8217;s own expressive burst in the feverish love with which he forms his ideas.</p>
<p><em>A Matter of Scal</em>e is <a href="http://www.amatterofscale.com">an e-Book only</a>; not yet a typical &#8220;print&#8221; book.  This could be for a number of reasons.  It could be the author&#8217;s <a href="http://sustainablog.org/2008/04/15/eco-libris-how-green-is-the-book-publishing-industry-part-2/">environmental concerns of tree-felling for books</a>.  Then, it could be the crux of his whole philosophy of taking personal responsibility for the actions affecting our global ecosystem.  But one thing is certain&#8211;<em>A Matter of Scale</em> is unpublished certainly NOT due to its lack of quality insight and urgent information.  For its own modest scale and scope, it packs a wallop.
