I have only started reading this book so I can't yet recommend it, but the topic - the global environmental and social justice movements - seems to be appropriate and I think you'll recognize the names below in praise of Blessed Unrest by Paul Hawken.
Paul Hawken states eloquently all that I believe so passionately to be true - that there is inherent goodness at the heart of our humanity, that collectively we can - and are - changing the world.
-Jane Goodall
If you have lost a sense of direction in your life, if despair dogs your every step, pick up a pencil and pick up this book. -Barry Lopez
Nothing you read for years to come will fill you with more hope and more determination.
-Bill McKibben
I believe Hawken when he says we are part of the Earth's immune system each time we exercise our active compassion in the name of social justice and ecological health. Blessed Unrest is a manifesto of hope for the 21st century grounded squarely in the hearts of engaged people around the planet. It is a field guide for all that is possible.
-Terry Tempest Williams

I recommend visiting wiserearth.org, which is a visual representation of Earth's "immune system" of social justice and ecological sustainability organizations. There are over 100,000 of them on the site, and anyone can contribute by editing or adding their own organization or resource!
