The contributors to this volume believe that such transformations are urgently needed and possible, and they offer specific examples. They suggest solutions that call for new perspectives in our ethics, beliefs, traditions, economy, business, gender relations, education, and technology. They show that human beings have the power to implement changes in all natural and social environments. The chapters in this book have been organized around three keywords: Reconnecting, Reframing, and Rethinking. The contributors argue that we need to with the Earth and nature, as well as with each other and parts of ourselves that we have ignored for too long. We need to the way in which people prioritize choices in the economy, the way we do business and pursue development; and we need to the mission of education and the roles of technology.
