Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Illustrated (illustrator). 272 pages. Description Every day we are bombarded with the m essage that the bottom line for society and governments must be t he economy and global competitiveness. But what are the real need s that we must satisfy to live rich, fulfilling lives? In this se minal work, David Suzuki presents a radically different perspecti ve on our basic needs and the real bottom line. It begins with t he recognition that we are creatures of the Earth and, as such, w e are utterly dependent on its gifts of air, water, soil and the energy of the sun. These elements are not just external factors, we take them into our bodies, where they are incorporated into ou r very essence. What replenishes the air, water and soil and capt ures sunlight to vitalise the biosphere is the diverse web of all beings. All species are our evolutionary relatives, and we have a genetically programmed need for their company. As social anima ls, we have an absolute need for love; without it, we suffer dire psychological and physical consequences. The strength of that lo ve is reflected in healthy, vibrant families and communities supp orted with full employment, security and justice. Finally, we hav e spiritual needs, which are ultimately rooted in nature, the sou rce of our inspiration and belonging. These are the real requirem ents of all humanity and should form the basis of any society asp iring to a truly sustainable future. This powerful, deeply felt book gives concrete suggestions for how we can meet these basic n eeds and create a way of life that is ecologically sustainable, f ulfilling and just. It also tells the stories of people who have put their beliefs into action and are helping to create such a wa y of life. And it offers the seeds of a new direction for us all, one in which we can rediscover our place in nature and live in b alance with our surroundings. Seller Inventory # 873z
