Sobre IBD

What if one’s mandatory tour of duty was environmental rather than militaristic? Suppose all advertising had to tell the truth? Can you imagine sports without competition? ...Social commentary and activism via fiction. 'As the title indicates, this collection of stories is about getting into the thick of things, taking sides, taking action, and speaking out loud and clear, however unpopular your opinion may be. ... refreshingly out of the ordinary.'  Joan McGrath, Canadian Book Review AnnualFirst edition published 1990; this is the second edition.
