His comprehensive framework for coalition building is based on the way natural systems function--because after billions of years of remaining in balance, Nature is the ultimate resource to support and guide our efforts toward a sustainable, life-supportive paradigm.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/store.bookbaby.com\/bookshop\/book\/index.aspx?bookURL=Connecting-the-Dots-A-Roadmap-for-Critical-Systemic-Change&amp;b=c_bu-bu-wh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Purchase Print or eBook version of Connecting the Dots<\/a><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Or Download Free PDF Below<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-90-1\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-90-1-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-90-1-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"2\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p><b><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\">We are eager to get Dave's vital message into the world, so...like Duane and Colleen Elgin who wrote the wonderful <a href=\"https:\/\/choosingearth.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>Choosing Earth <\/i><\/a>as our inspiration, we are offering choices:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\">Purchase the <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/store.bookbaby.com\/bookshop\/book\/index.aspx?bookURL=Connecting-the-Dots-A-Roadmap-for-Critical-Systemic-Change&amp;b=c_bu-bu-wh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">print or ebook<\/a><\/span> version of CtD or download a free copy of the <a href=\"http:\/\/attractionretreat.org\/connectthedots\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/ConnectingTheDots.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #339966;\">PDF<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span>.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-90-1-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-90-1-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child\" data-index=\"3\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Building Critical Mass for <\/b><b>Critical Change<br \/>\n<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-90-1-1-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-button panel-last-child\" data-index=\"4\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-button so-widget-sow-button-atom-ddfc18db71d7-90\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><div class=\"ow-button-base ow-button-align-center\"\n>\n\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\thref=\"http:\/\/attractionretreat.org\/connectthedots\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/ConnectingTheDots.pdf\"\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"sowb-button ow-icon-placement-bottom ow-button-hover\" download=\"\" \t>\n\t\t<span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-icon-image\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/attractionretreat.org\/connectthedots\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Logo_Color-150x150.jpg)\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\tDownload CtD PDF FOR FREE\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-90-2\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-90-2-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-90-2-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"5\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Reviews for Connecting the Dots<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\u201cDave Ewoldt had a passion for tracing connections-and that\u00b4s what leads to insight and understanding.
