One publisher with a more global perspective is EarthScan so

For
folks living in the Keweenaw that want to read books (many are
in MTU library) with an environmental land-based theme, I would
encourage you to read books by Winona LaDuke and Stephanie Mills
and Sigord Olson write about the Northwoods and various issues.

Alvord lives in the U.P. and wrote the book "Divorce your
Car" which discusses history of transportation in North
American and proposes several case studies of how to become
more car free in your daily life.
