In this ground-breaking book, leading sustainability educators are
joined by permaculturists, literary critics, ecologists, artists,
journalists, engineers, mathematicians and philosophers in a deep
reflection on the skills that people need to survive and thrive in
the challenging conditions of the 21st century. Responding to the
threats of climate change, peak oil, resource deletion, economic
uncertainty and energy insecurity demands the utmost in creativity,
ingenuity and new ways of thinking in order to reinvent self and
society. Among the many skills, attributes and values described in
this volume are values reflection, coping with complexity,
permaculture design, transition skills, advertising awareness,
effortless action, and ecological intelligence, each accompanied by
ideas for active learning exercises to help develop the skill. Far

however, the handbook is exploratory, aiming to open up new,
unthought-of paths, possibilities and choices. It is intended
primarily for educators across the spectrum from higher education
to informal education, but is also suitable for learners themselves
and anyone interested in the literally vital issue of the skills we
need to survive and thrive in the 21st century and build a more
sustainable future. Contributors include John Naish, Satish Kumar,
Patrick Whitefield, John Blewitt, Stephan Harding and Stephen
Sterling.
