Description

This book explores humanity�s relationship with the natural world throughout evolutionary history, and the need to reorient this onto a symbiotic basis. �It integrates the themes of natural and artificial selection, the characteristics of historic �revolutions�, and directed versus random change. Inspiring community-based projects, mainly from the developing world, show how ecosystem regeneration uplifts human livelihoods in a positively reinforcing cycle, embodying lessons germane to co-creating a Symbiocene era wherein humanity�s substantial influence (the Anthropocene) achieves increasing symbiosis with the natural processes shaping the former Holocene epoch. The Ecosystems Revolution�provides practical, positive examples, highlighting the attainability of an �ecosystems revolution�.Typham this is the title: The Ecosystems Revolution
