Publisher's Synopsis
Even as the world we're living in is dying, the world we could be living in is almost ready to be born. Global industrial culture is not working, but there are other ways to live. The old myths no longer hold, but new explanations of reality are replacing them. The old technologies are destroying our biosphere, but new technologies are being developed, and new boundaries, based on ecology, are being encouraged to help us honor the planet's natural processes instead of trying to control them. The seeds are planted, the resources are at hand, and we are in a position to choose humanity's future.
In HOME Dr. Ruth Miller integrates her years of study in cybernetics, anthropology, applied metaphysics, and environmental studies to offer a manual for building the kind of life that can be sustained on this planet for generations to come. With simple clarity Miller walks us through the process of releasing the ideas that no longer work and replacing them with ones that do - giving us brief glimpses of how life could be lived if we were willing to take the necessary actions. Illustrations and detailed appendices make this a beginners' guide for building a new kind of culture, making it possible for all of us to thrive in a new, sustainable and harmonious world.
