Living
System – Making sense of sustainability (forewords by Anita Roddick
and Meg Wheatley)
by Bruce Nixon,
from Management Books 2000, tel 01285-771441/2; e-mail:
mb2000@btconnect.com
a controversial and radical book about sustainability in the widest
sense - climate change, the huge difficulties we face in the future
if we don’t learn to manage the world’s resources better, and just
as important, global social and economic justice and an end to
violence. Bruce Nixon links these issues and demonstrates that we
can deal with none of these problems in isolation. As we see in
Africa and elsewhere, the poor are always the first to suffer.
"Exciting, thought provoking,
dynamic, irritating, inspiring, passionate and
occasionally enraged, Bruce Nixon forces us to
re-evaluate our lives. His philosophy, that of core
sustainability, just might hold the key to greater
happiness for us all."
Kevin
McCloud, journalist, television presenter and WWF
ambassador.
