Produktbeschreibung
Modern industrial society finds itself in a double bind. Multiple environmental issues are reaching a critical stage, while at the same time our democratic institutions are losing the support of the people. Calls for radical change fall on deaf ears. They ring hollow. Ending the use of fossil fuels without an alternative in place sounds like and is in fact a death sentence. In this book John Martin presents Another Way to understand the crisis we will all have to deal with going forward. Pulling from the insights of numerous writers of the 20th century, along with those from ancient traditions, John calls for a return to traditional values of stewardship towards the Earth. For people to wake up from the seductive world of endless growth and again find our place in the universe that 13.8 billion years of evolution has created. The book contains workable policies that could start the long journey to bringing our communities back from the brink and on a path towards sustainability.

Autorenporträt
John Martin, a lifelong New Englander, graduated high school from Moses Brown, a quaker school in Providence, Rhode Island. He graduated college from the University Without Walls at Roger Williams College with a B.A. degree in Comparative Religion and Futurism. His work life was mostly spent in small factories. Where he applied his insights into the interconnectedness of processes to organize production. One job of note was in a textile factory on the banks of the Blackstone River just a few miles upstream from the Slater's mill. John opened a shop in 1991 selling earth friendly products. Though only open for a year, John gained insights into what was in fact "green" and what was mostly marketing. John was one of the original members of the Rhode Island Green Party. He always stressed the need to be future focused, and to make creativity part of the political discussion. John currently lives in Cumberland, R.I. He can be reached at johnlouismartin116@gmail.com
