R1,102 Discovery Miles 11 020 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

A bestseller on Amazon.com within months of its first release, Alan AtKisson's debut book quickly became a modern classic of sustainability literature. Global companies, grassroots groups, university courses, government agencies, and even the US Army ordered it by the box. Now fully revised and updated, Believing Cassandra: How to be an Optimist in a Pessimist's World is even more relevant, fresh, and motivating than when it first appeared in 1999. In a style that's refreshingly candid and vivid, with unforgettable personal anecdotes, AtKisson provides us with a bridge over the sea of despair, and shows us how to catch the wave to an enticing, sustainable future. He empowers the reader to join the pioneers who created the ideas, techniques and practices of sustainable living - the people who prove Cassandra's warnings wrong, by believing in them, and taking strategic action.

This series is dedicated to serving the growing community of scholars and practitioners concerned with the principles and applications of environmental management. Each volume is a thorough treatment of a specific topic of importance for proper management practices. A fundamental objective of these books is to help the reader discern and implement man's stewardship of our environment and the world's renewable resources. For we must strive to understand the relationship between man and nature, act to bring harmony to it, and nurture an environment that is both stable and productive. These objectives have often eluded us because the pursuit of other individual and societal goals has diverted us from a course of living in balance with the environment. At times, therefore, the environmental manager may have to exert restrictive control, which is usually best applied to man, not nature. Attempts to alter or harness nature have often failed or backfired, as exemplified by the results of imprudent use of herbicides, fertilizers, water, and other agents. Each book in this series will shed light on the fundamental and applied aspects of environmental management. It is hoped that each will help solve a practical and serious environmental problem.

Because We Believe in the Future - Collected Essays on Sustainability, 1989-2009 (Paperback): Alan Atkisson Because We Believe in the Future - Collected Essays on Sustainability, 1989-2009 (Paperback)
Alan Atkisson
R529 Discovery Miles 5 290 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

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.

Alan Atkisson
R397 Discovery Miles 3 970 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Alan AtKisson is best known for his writing on global environment, economic, and sustainability challenges, including the bestseller Believing Cassandra (1999, 2010) and The Sustainability Transformation (2010). This is his first book-length collection of poems, spanning three decades of writing. Some of AtKisson's poetry has appeared in small literary magazines or independently published chapbooks, but most has not been available to a broader reading public before now. As a poet, AtKisson covers an exceptionally wide range of subject matter that incorporates contemporary global issues, deeply personal details, and the often unexpected intersections between the two. Also known as a singer and songwriter, AtKisson brings a sense of music to his precise and often rhythmic language. The poetic forms he uses are highly varied, stretching from strict formality to wildly referential free verse. This collection also includes AtKisson's two long poems. "Chronosphere," written for a friend who was dying of cancer, combines free verse, rhyme, haiku and other poetic forms in 61 clock-like verses. "Screed," composed over a year-long period of intensive travels (2002-2003), is a post-modern rant that evokes Allan Ginsberg, T.S. Elliot, Thomas Transtromer, and many other writers. Its main theme is the folly of human civilization in an era of climate change, and the ever-present possibility to "begin again." Alan AtKisson's Collected Poems 1982-2009 was published in 2012, by Broken Bone Press, in collaboration with CreateSpace.
