One Street Pressbooks_and_bike

We've launched One Street Press, our publishing arm, as we develop our own books for our programs.

Our first book, Defying Poverty with Bicycles, our how-to manual for our Social Bike Business program, is now available at a 20% discount here for shipping in the U.S.

Defying Poverty - front cover

 

Most local book stores will be able to order it for you.

 

It is also available at online booksellers around the world e.g. Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kalahari (za), Fishpond (au), Libri (de), etc. Check your favorite online bookseller.

 

Take a look at the Table of Contents to get an idea of what you'll find in the book.

Please post our Press Release about the book.

 

Once we have a few more titles under our belts, we look forward to requesting manuscripts for books that will help readers increase bicycling and learn all the crazy dynamics of social change, especially for creating bicycling societies.
