Earth Works Garden When the Spirit moves you, take a look at a new on-line magazine and movement resource called:As a society, we have become dangerously disconnected from the land and the sources of food that sustain life. We have detached ourselves from the real source of wealth - a respectful and reverent relationship with the land. In 1998, I felt a calling to start a garden at my workplace, the Capuchin Soup Kitchen. The response was overwhelming and positive. That small plot of land grew into what is our Urban Farm project today. EarthWorks Garden seeks to restore our connection to the environment and community in keeping with the tradition of our spiritual patron, St. Francis. It is a working study in social justice and in knowing the origin of the food we eat This project relies on the gracious donations of time from volunteers and materials from sponsors. Neighbors and friends of all ages, incomes and faiths join us in our work. I hope that you will visit us and see what a special project EarthWorks Garden has become.

You're concerned. You're active. You believe in the multiracial promise of America. You want to know more about Asian Americans -- but how do you separate fact and informed viewpoints from media fiction, stereotypes, and misnomers? For almost three decades, the UCLA Asian American Studies Center has published the Amerasia Journal -- the foremost, most comprehensive, and intellectually provocative single source on Asian Americans. Two hundred pages in every issue, book reviews, an annual bibliography, and superbly researched articles -- informative and jargon-free -- assure you of quality, informed reading.
