Best Books to Change the World

MonkeyWrench

MonkeyWrench Books has a brain-watering selection of materials – from Howard Zinn's lesser-known narratives of history to the Rhizome Collective's how-to for urban permaculture – including everything anyone needs in order to bone up on politics, social theory, and alternative lifestyles. The volunteers who run this nonprofit DIY info shop are committed to educating, motivating, and uniting the public. Whether you are interested in joining the revolution or just learning about one, this is a great place to start. In addition to books and zines, MonkeyWrench hosts film screenings, book talks, activist lectures, and gatherings.
