About this title

Synopsis

A collection of essays on sustainable solutions to the current global crisis, from Schumacher College.

Schumacher College, based near Totnes in Devon, England, opened its doors in the early 1990s and is now an internationally-renowned center for transformative learning on all aspects of sustainable living.

James Lovelock led the first course on Gaia theory. A host of visionary thinkers has followed, including mathematician and biologist Brian Goodwin, who died in 2009. This book is a realization of his vision for Schumacher College to publish a collection of essays on sustainable solutions to the current global crisis. Themes include the importance of education, science, Transition thinking, economics, energy sources, business and design, in the context of philosophy, spirituality and mythology.

The contributors include Satish Kumar, Jules Cashford, Fritjof Capra, Rupert Sheldrake, James Lovelock, Peter Reason, Gideon Kossoff, Craig Holdrege, Helena Norberg-Hodge, Colin Tudge, Nigel Topping and many others.

This book is essential reading for anyone concerned about the future of our society and the environment.
