Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
22 cm, Softcover/Paperback, Condition: Gut. viii, 242 p. ; Zustand: Exemplar in gutem Zustand, Ränder und / oder Cover etwas berieben. Text / Sprache: Englisch , This fascinating book describes some of the remarkable individuals and movements in both North and South who are seeking to develop new visions of society and to experiment in practical ways with new lifestyles, new paths of development and new relations with Nature. All of them share a belief in the precious value of diversity - genetic, cultural and individual - and challenge the dominant world view with its monochrome future of endless consumerism. The individuals and groups whose work is described in this book have all been recipients of the Right Livelihood Award. This annual award, widely known as the Alternative Nobel Prize, is presented in recognition of pioneering efforts in the areas of peace, sustainable development, environmental integrity, social justice and human rights. As our environmental and human crisis deepens, this is a book to which people can turn for hope in refashioning our increasingly unsustainable global society. Literaturverz. S.
