The New Earth Archive Criteria:
The books that comprise this archive should educate and empower students to work towards improving the world around them, and should inspire open-mindedness and acceptance of new, more beneficial ideas and lifestlyes. For this goal to be succesful, the books that populate this collection should be:
1. Books that college students will actively want to read: they have to be informative and passionate enough to capture and then hold students’ attention.
2. Powerful enough to change the reader’s mind about these issues, encourage new perspectives, and promote acceptance of alternate or controversial ideas.
3. Provocative and motivational: they have to genuinely drive readers to want to change the world.
4. Inspiring and positive, and offer solutions that encourage pursuit of holistic and truly fulfilling lifestyles.
5. Recent (within the past 10-15 years) and still relevant to our world’s rapidly changing conditions.
6. Decades-big ideas with a worldwide scope: topics that span the environment, economics, people, politics, and revelations in understanding human nature.
