This ground breaking volume explores the importance of transforming
our attitude to the planet's resources. This requires a redesign of
living standards and governance controls to enable humanity to
emerge from an unsustainable way of life. It is mandatory reading
for everyone concerned about rights, responsibilities and
sustainable living in the next decade. It is written by Janet
McIntyre-Mills with Denise de Vries. Janet has written widely in
the areas of representation, accountability and sustainable praxis.
Denise contributed the design for the software to enable
participatory design and accountability. She is an informatics
specialist who collaborated with Janet on research projects that
have informed this book. The foreword is by Ken Bausch and the
preface is by Norma Romm. Bevin Wilson participated in a
conversation with the author to sum up the core social, economic
and environmental challenges addressed in the book. The volume not
only critiques our relationships with one another, the powerless
(including all sentient beings) and the environment, but provides
suggestions as to how nested forms of regional governance for
social and environmental justice (buttressed by law and informed by
responsive policy) could be implemented internationally. The book
inspires the energy to engage in ethical entrepreneurship for a
sustainable future at the local, regional and international level.
Alan Rayner concludes the volume. The contributors are innovators
in the field of complexity praxis, sociology of identity,
Aboriginality, biology, informatics and participatory design.
