Because We Believe in the Future - Collected Essays on Sustainability, 1989-2009 (Paperback)

For over two decades, Alan AtKisson - author of Believing Cassandra and The Sustainability Transformation - has been traveling the world to speak, write, and consult on sustainability. This book brings together the best of his essays, articles, speeches and blog posts, from the first twenty years of his career. AtKisson has been a leading voice in the sustainability movement almost since it began, and his writing also serves as a guided tour through the emergence of sustainability during that period, from a very personal perspective. The collection also shows just how quickly sustainability rose to prominence during that time: in the first essay, AtKisson is reflecting on the seemingly impossible task of waking up the world to the challenge of global warming, writing from a small basement office in Seattle. By the closing piece, he is reporting on an enormous gathering of world leaders, negotiating the fate of the planet at a climate summit in Copenhagen. At times serious, at times funny or edgily ironic, AtKisson's essays are engaging windows onto the world of sustainability that are always fresh, and that always aim to inspire.
