 <http://www.newsociety.com/bookid/4067> Thriving Beyond Sustainability:

Pathways to a Resilient Society <http://www.newsociety.com/bookid/4067> 

 

 By Andrés R. Edwards

 

Turning challenge into opportunity—a survey of successful sustainable ideas
and practices from around the world...

 

“
an inventory of grounded hope, practical inspiration, and achievable
visions
 exactly the kind of thinking, work, and doing that will bring
civilization to safe harbor.”

— David W. Orr, author of Down to the Wire

 

“
thoroughly researched, deeply contemplated, and yet eminently practical. I
warmly recommend it to anyone concerned about the future of human
civilization.”

— Fritjof Capra, author of The Web of Life and The Hidden Connections

 

“
covers a breathtaking swath of world-changing stories, frameworks and
tools
You can't help but feel optimistic after reading this book.”

— Adam Werbach, Global CEO, Saatchi & Saatchi

 

 <http://www.newsociety.com/bookid/4067> Thriving Beyond Sustainability
draws a collective map of individuals, organizations and communities from
around the world that are committed to building an alternative future — one
that strives to restore ecological health, reinvent outmoded institutions
and rejuvenate our environmental, social and economic systems. The projects
and initiatives profiled are meeting the challenges of the day with
optimism, hope and results, leading the way in:

•           relocalization

•           green commerce

•           ecological design

•           environmental conservation

•           social transformation

 

Andrés Edwards helps us to move beyond a perception of surviving with
scarcity to one of flourishing with abundance. The comprehensive resource
section provides the tools for everyone to become a catalyst for change.
