Tracking Down Ecological Guidance

Weathering the storm of progress. "Tracking Down Ecological Guidance" recounts an engegement with science, technology, education, economics and cultural adaptation over the past fifty years. The culture of industrial progress and financial wealth is based on the belif that endlessly increasing the exploitation of Earth's resources will endlessly improve the human condition. This strategy of adaptation is now failing; it no longer provides believable guidance for the human future. "Tracking Down Ecological Guidance" displays a countervailing worldview; it focuses on what kind of economic adaptation makes sense, given what we know about how Earth's ecosystems actually work; it is equally focuses on the meaning of cultural and spiritual survival through the continuing fallout of economic and environmental distruption. The author charts a journey through the storm of progress to a culture of ecological guidience that places equity and beauty at the heart of economic and spiritual wellbeing.
