Graeme Snooks has set himself the ambitious and original task of
exploring the driving force of global change over the past 2
million years. The book outlines and explains the biological
development of life, going on to develop a fully dynamic model, not
just of genetic change, but of the broader process of life on
earth. Snooks also provides a critical review of current
interpretations about the course of history and the forces driving
it. Finally, he develops an entirely new interpretation of the
dynamics of human society, arguing that the rise and fall of
societies is an outcome of the development and exhaustion of these
strategies.
This dynamic strategy model is employed to discuss likely future
outcomes for society. Controversially, Snooks argues that far from
leading to ecological destruction, growth--including technological
change--is both natural and necessary. "The Dynamic Society"
demonstrates that dynamism, not stasis, is the essential condition
of human society, as it is of life.
