The New Internationalist is one of the most profound magazines.

Anita Roddick - Founder of The Body Shop

I wouldn't wipe my arse with the New Internationalist. Absorbing is one thing. Absorbent is another.

Julian Morrow - The Chaser

I am really happy with your products and service. In particular "The New Internationalist" is a great resource for our Certificate 1V IN WOMEN'S EDUCATION where we study Global Issues for Women.

New Internationalist weighs the world on the scales of justice. By tapping into a vast global network of activists, the compassionately written and tightly edited magazine breathes life into the struggles, projects, and people who are working to build a better planet.

Utne Reader's nomination of NI for Best International Coverage - annual Independent Press Awards, 2010 - an award that New Internationalist has won on eight previous occasions.

Of all interior furnishing, more than anything else lighting sets the mood. These hand made lampshades from Tamil Nadu in India provide light with character, personality, and style, while being good for the planet and its people also.

Made from specially hand woven cotton (not bleached and not dyed, and not paper) around a framework of cane, they are also very durable.

Arrives flat but quickly falls into shape when hung. Unlike common paper lighting globes, our fabric Glowbals don't need metal stretchers. Within days, Glowbal lampshades fall naturally to regain their globe shape. (Or to speed up this process, insert a weight such as a paperback book for a day or so.)

Fits almost any suspended globe fitting in seconds... see instructions here, and easy to clean with the nozzle of your vacuum cleaner.

Available in two sizes, 40 cm and 50 cm dia.

NOTE: Due to the unusual shape of the package, the Glowbal is only available for delivery by regular post within Australia. It is not available for Express Post, nor for overseas orders.
