I just got this email today from PETA.org.

Can one person really change the world? PETA President Ingrid E. Newkirk thinks so, and so do the contributors to her latest book, One Can Make a Difference: How Simple Actions Can Change the World (Adams Media).

Newkirk has compiled more than 50 thought-provoking, original essays written by an intriguing, diverse group of people-including actor Sean Astin, who has been outspoken about mental-health issues since his legendary mother, actor Patty Duke, was diagnosed with bipolar mood disorder. In his essay, Sean talks about the positive influence his mother has had on his life and his efforts to make a difference in the world. He participates in a bipolar-disorder-awareness campaign and he has launched a Web site to help people recognize the symptoms of the disease. He is also a spokesperson for the National Center for Family Literacy as well as the Verizon Literacy Campaign.

One Can Make a Difference is an enlightening book that provides a roadmap for anyone who has dreamed of making a positive impact on our world. As Newkirk states, "I hope that this book brings you hope, courage, and inspiration, that it helps you examine your own ability …. May it prove to you that you are bound by nothing at all and that the future, and your life, can be what you make it."

Other contributors to One Can Make a Difference include Kevin Bacon, Sir Paul McCartney, His Holiness The Dalai Lama, Dr. Henry Heimlich (inventor of the Heimlich maneuver and other lifesaving technologies), tennis champion Martina Navratilova, legendary White House correspondent Helen Thomas, and many more.

Until November 14, PETA is offering Sean Astin fans a 15 percent discount on all PETACatalog.org orders that include a copy of One Can Make a Difference (readers should use discount code MD151 when ordering). A copy of One Can Make a Difference is available upon request. For more information, please visit PETA.org.

Sounds like a great offer and it certainly contributes to a worthy cause.
