This book could change your perception of life on planet earth and your vital contribution to earth's future.
In 1998 Jim Sloman authored Handbook for Humans, a book about the interconnected factors that make up our individual lives. In A Global Vision this picture of interconnectedness is broadened into a planetary view that includes ecology, energy, finance, geopolitics and other dimensions, including stories of historic societies that succeeded or failed—and why.
From Easter Island to the Anasazi of the American Southwest, from the latest computerized models of the planet to a comprehensive view of the state of the earth in its various dimensions, A Global Vision presents a compelling picture of where we are and where we could go.
Most important, A Global Vision proposes a set of ten general principles that could be vital if humanity is to create a truly sustainable planet.
We hear about all manner of things we can do, such as composting, switching lightbulbs or driving a hybrid. All are worthy, but A Global Vision is about something else—an overall vision of humanity's future, one that incorporates the general principles that will be needed to sustain that vision.
A Global Vision is truly a book of our time. A unified humanity is essential in this time of uncertainty—and this book is a guide to that achievement. It points to a future that could be truly sustainable and benevolent.
