[20-04-06] Music Review: Project 52
by Stu Jesson  There is a rich tradition of artists setting themselves strenuous musical challenges to try to summon bursts of inspiration: Jack White confined the recording of Get Behind Me Satan to a mere two weeks, The Cowboy Junkies used only one microphone for the brilliant live album The Trinity Sessions, and Sufjan Stevens is currently writing an album for each American state.

Book Review: The Good Shopping Guide

If this term’s theme has got you thinking about how to spend your money ethically, then this is the book for you. Whether you’re a student going food shopping; a homeowner looking for a new fridge, hoover or even mortgage; or a parent looking for ethical baby food and toys, this book will help you make purchasing decisions that will help, rather than harm, people and the environment.

Each product has its own section in the book and has been ranked by the Ethical Company Organisation – the same people who publish Ethical Consumer magazine - according to its performance on 15 areas such as pollution, animal testing, workers rights and genetic engineering.

The book also includes guides to renewable energy, sustainable building, cars and supermarkets, as well as an alternative clothing directory.

The Good Shopping Guide costs £12.95 and is available from the EcoHouse in Leicester via Caroline Harmon. Just drop her an email if you’d like to buy a copy. Find out more about both books at: www.thegoodshoppingguide.co.uk.
