A History of The Environmental Revolution and Visions For An Ecological Age. Index included.
Rising Tides confronts the most urgent agenda of our age. As climate change turns millions into refugees and the US President continues to dismiss the notion of global warning; as world leaders are unable to meet without attracting mass protests and the acceleration of environmental issues confronts us daily, the battle to preserve the environment for future generations is reaching critical mass.
Rising Tides is an extensively researced and engagingly written examination of the many factors that have shaped ecological thought over the ages. Challenging the basic assumptions of the Western world-view. Spowers exposes the fundamental flaws in a system that believes unlimited economic growth within a finite world and has confused financial worth with the real wealth of the natural systems upon which we are all dependent.
Rising Tides suggests ways in which we can all plug into a netowrk, rescue our economic system from manipulation by the corporate elite and help to create the sort of world we want to live in.
