Synopsis

It is no longer possible to ignore that this planet is a finite resource. In our future as a human species we are bound together, worldwide, with each other and with the 'real global economy' of a fragile natural environment. With quiet urgency and deep honesty Pam Lunn addresses the unsustainability of the way we all live in the industrialised West, but this is not a counsel of despair or guilt. Realistic and well informed about the evolutionary basis of cooperation as well as the spiritual dimension, she puts forward and unsentimental argument for the possibility as well as the necessity of community. Pam Lunn has worked at Woodbrooke Quaker Study Centre for over 20 years. She was originally a mathematician, and her working life has included teaching, personal development training, peace work and adult education. She started work at Woodbrooke in 1989, teaching peace studies and women's studies and after several role changes she now leads the project 'Good Lives - for a sustainable human future'.
