The great scientific visionary of our age presents a radical vision of humanity's future as the thinking brain of our Earth-system.
A Rough Ride to the Future introduces two new Lovelockian ideas. The first is that three hundred years ago, when Thomas Newcomen invented the steam engine, he was unknowingly beginning what James Lovelock calls "accelerated evolution." That is a process that is bringing about change on our planet roughly a million times...

THE ULTIMATUM IS IMPERATIVE- transform ourselves now or decline and perish as a result of the consequences of our own actions, a species suicide.
THE ULTIMATUM IS DUAL- we can produce our own extinction and that of other species through weapons of mass destruction, especially nuclear, and/or environmental degradation, especially climate change.
The EQUILIBRA series begins with THE ULTIMATUM, the myriad ways Mother Earth is communicating to us the...

Expand the planet.
In Planet A, George J. Nasr offers an illuminating look at four simple keys that can unlock a sustainable path and empower a regenerative economy.

Today's "extreme weather events" (record-breaking heat waves, droughts, and melting ice caps) foreshadow an increasingly unstable and dire future. Yet, despite all, the US government continues to reject the Kyoto Protocol, to deny the catastrophic consequences of oil dependency, and to define the politics of oil as the politics of U.S. unilateralism, domination, and war.
Dead Heat argues that justice-not rhetoric and "aid" but real developmental justice...

Food means many different things to each of us. It can be easy to develop tunnel vision and forget about the complexity of how food can bring value to our lives. The first step is understanding that a mindset of apathy and dismissal regarding our daily interaction with food is not natural, and, in fact, taught to us through media and advertising. To move forward as a healthy culture, we must regain an appreciation for or build a new relationship with...

"Como consecuencia del crecimiento del consumo de combustibles fósiles, las emisiones de dióxido de carbono aumentaron y aumentarán exponencialmente, y al mismo ritmo seguirán sus concentraciones en la atmósfera. El resultado es un calentamiento global que amenaza con la extinción de especies más devastadora de los últimos millones de años y que, de persistir por mucho tiempo, hará de la superficie de la Tierra algo muy distinto de lo que...

Hace más de diez años, un oso polar apareció en la costa del sur de Argentina, y todos los expertos determinaron que había nadado, al menos, 2.000 kilómetros. Una hazaña increíble que tiene un trágico motivo: el deshielo producido por el calentamiento global no permite a los osos polares conseguir alimento, y tienen que cambiar de hábitat para poder sobrevivir. Ello ha provocado que los osos polares se encuentren entre la larga lista...

If you are driving off a cliff, someone telling you to slow down isn't much of a help. (Well, slowing down while you turn in a new direction is likely to be a good idea.) By burning fossil fuels, humanity is now driving itself off a climate cliff toward extinction. We need to completely stop burning "stuff" (fossil fuels, or anything else) for energy. Yet to thrive we really do need lots of energy-in fact, even more than we now are using. This book...
