ISBN: 9781489538116 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book sets out the essential features of a new kind of philosophy, now beginning to take hold among younger generations, that will have a beneficial impact on the earth's natural and human environment. Philosophers usually stick to conceptual ideas without much attention to the messy details of worldly reality, ideas that are wonderful in themselves, but in need of confrontation with the actualities of natural and human history. In these pages, concern is directed especially to the values we hold toward our natural environment, and in particular toward the global problem of climatic...

The Coming Good Boom: Creating Prosperity for All and Saving the Environment through Compact Living
ISBN: 9781453805930 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Economists like to say that there is no such thing as a "free lunch" whenever we move our social arrangements in a new direction. According to this kind of thinking, a price will inevitably be paid for addressing big, society-wide problems such as global warming. This book takes a contrary view--resolving the problem of global warming and moving to a more spatially compact form of human settlement will generate a durable and widespread prosperity and improvements in the quality of life. In short, fixing global warming will be a "free lunch." We will all end up being better off independently...
