Synopsis
The Peace Research Village Tamera in Portugal, with its international network, has been developed as a demonstrative, practical and convincing model for the future. This book provides an insight into the current state of the work of Tamera in permaculture and water landscaping, solar technology and peace education. "I've been wanting to visit Tamera ever since I read about a visionary new form of solar energy they were developing ...Only someone who lives in a summer-dry climate can imagine my churning mixture of inspiration and sheer envy that filled me, walking the paths that meander between the beautiful series of lakes and ponds...So, if you're having one those bad days when you can't imagine how the world will pull out of this nosedive into the abyss, check out [ Tamera's website] ..." ( more here) - Starhawk, internationally respected earth-based spriritual activist and permaculturalist (visited Tamera summer 2009) "I recently visited a project that opened my eyes to how radically effective earth restoration projects can be. This was not a big UN or inter-governmental programme, but one run by a small ecovillage community ...What has been achieved in just three years is astonishing. ..My heart opens in the knowledge that we can restore the earth. This story must be a part of our new narrative." (more here...) Maddy Harland, editor, Permaculture Magazine (visited Tamera early 2011)

Condition: As New. 1st. As new hardcover paperback. If we want peace on Earth, we have to find out what peace really means. What could a world look like in which all people have enough food, in which rivers filled with clear water can freely meander, in which children trust adults again and where conflicts no longer lead to violence but are instead solved with intelligence and compassion More than thirty years ago, a team of pioneers around the psychoanalyst Dr Dieter Duhm, the theologist Sabine Lichtenfels and the physicist Charly Rainer Ehrenpreis had the idea to develop a model for the fu- ture where these questions are answered as demonstratively, practically and convin- cingly as possible.In a comprehensive model, such questions, and many more, are connected with each other and are solved by perceiving the whole, as it was specifically the fragmentation of life into separate areas which led the whole system into the state it is in today.A comprehensive model which reconnects separated areas with each other activates the little-researched powers of self-organization, synergy and the resilience of biotopes. These powers are needed to lift the whole system to a higher level of order.Tamera Peace Research Village, in Portugal, with its international network, developed from this idea. Outside of the huge central laboratories, universities and cities, researchers of the future are practically applying their developments in places like Tamera. Compassion, responsibility for the whole and mutual support are the basic ethical guidlines for living together in Tamera.This book provides an insight into the current state of the work of Tamera in three core areas: permaculture and water landscape, solar technology and peace-education.
