Synopsis

A Global Vision 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 earth in various dimensions, A Global Vision presents a compelling picture of where we are and where we could go.

Most importantly, 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 sorts of things we can do, such as switching lightbulbs, composting 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.
