What Does it Mean to be 'Green'?: Sustainability, Respect & Spirituality
ISBN: 9781907962134 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 90 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Most people believe that they know what it means to be 'green'. But do they? This book explores what it means to live a 'green' life for an individual human, and what it means for the human species to be a 'green' species. The conclusion is a provocative one - that at the level of an individual human being 'green' is about the possession of a particular attitude to life and the universe, whilst at the level of the human species being 'green' is about the sustainability of the biosphere. This may sound like an obvious conclusion to reach, but it entails that high levels of human resource use...

ISBN: 9781907962523 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. There are many ways in which humans can conceptualise the relationship between their species and their surroundings; these surroundings can be taken to be the rest of the life-forms which exist on the Earth, or everything non-human that exists in the universe. In this book I focus on various possible relationships between the human species and the rest of the life-forms that exist (and those that have existed, and those that will exist in the future) on the Earth. Is there no deeply significant and meaningful relationship? Or, is the human species superior in some way? Or, is the human...
