Joel is author of more than 20 books going back to 1981, when he wrote "Office Hazards," a landmark book on the health effects of office environments. Most are out of print, though you can find them listed here and here, among other places. One that remains in print is Beyond the Bottom Line: Putting Social Responsibility to Work for Your Business and the World, one of the first business books on corporate social responsibility, published in 1994 and still used in business schools.
In Strategies for the Green Economy, Joel Makower distills his more than twenty years of watching the green business scene and offers insights and inspiration for understanding and untangling the complexities and controversies of profiting in the growing green economy.
Through real-life stories and first-hand experiences, Makower raises and answers complicated, fascinating, and resonant questions about the realities of greening your business. Whether catering to a shade of green customer (and there are many), or understanding what constitutes a "good enough" green company, whether selling everything from cars to coffee, or determining when to lead the market and when to follow it, Makower's engaging and realistic approach helps show the way.
Woodstock: The Oral History is the definitive, electrifying account of the rock festival that shook the world and defined a generation. This new, 40th anniversary edition is an update of the original 1989 book, including a new foreword by the two principal Woodstock producers and an updated where-are-they-now section.
The book - named "The definitive study of the mega-concert" by Rolling Stone - is the fascinating story of how it all came together - and almost fell apart - told exclusively in the voices of the men and women who made it happen. It shares the adventures of a ragtag bunch of businessmen and bohemians, of hippies, hucksters, handymen, and hangers-on, working against all odds to unite a generation for one wild, glorious weekend in August 1969.
