商品簡介
Energy supplies are tightening. Persistent pollutants are accumulating. Food securityis declining. There is no going back to the days of reckless consumption, but there is apossibility--already being realized in communities across North America and around the world--oflocalizing, of living well as we learn to live well within immutable constraints. This book maps thetransition to a more localized world.
Society is shifting from the centrifugalforces of globalization (cheap and abundant raw materials and energy, intensive commercialization,concentrated economic and political power) to the centripetal forces of localization: distributedauthority and leadership, sustainable use of nearby natural resources, community self-reliance andcohesion (with crucial regional, national, and international dimensions).
Thiscollection, offering classic texts by such writers as Wendell Berry, M. King Hubbert, and Ernst F.Schumacher, as well as new work by authors including Karen Litfin and David Hess, shows howlocalization--a process of affirmative social change--can enable psychologically meaningful andfulfilling lives while promoting ecological and social sustainability. Topics range from energydynamics to philosophies of limits, from the governance of place-based communities to the discoveryof positive personal engagement. Together they point the way to a transition that can be peaceful,democratic, just, and environmentally resilient.
