Ecological Intelligence : The coming age of radical transparency

Paperback
Author:
Daniel Goleman

Although we all want to help the environment, our knowledge of what are 'green' choices is often so limited that we can do more harm than good. But now a new phenomenon, 'radical transparency', the availability of complete information about all aspects of a product's history, is about to transform the power of consumers and the fate of business.
Ecological Intelligence
shows you: Why a T-shirt that claims it is '100% organic cotton' may be in fact no such thing; Why it's good to buy tulips from Kenya and wine from France; and, That even the type of shampoo you use could affect the future of the planet. Knowledge is power. By discovering how to tune your eco intelligence, Daniel Goleman shows, you can make better decisions, and a better world.

The world and its resources are finite, yet we are seemingly locked into a system based on growth: growth of population, growth of income and growth of consumption. From this irrefutable starting point, "Time to Eat the Dog?" attempts to uncover what sustainability really means. Brenda and Robert Vale explore the environmental impact of the decisions we make, from what we eat and what we wear to how we travel and enjoy ourselves. Their book will make you see your life and your place in the world in a completely new light. Challenging the orthodoxies that underpin our entire economic system, this is one subversive read.

The End of Nature
, Bill McKibben offered one of the earliest warnings about global warming. Those went largely unheeded; now, he argues, we need to acknowledge that we have waited too long and that massive change is not only unavoidable but already underway. Our old familiar planet is melting, drying, acidifying, flooding and burning in ways that humans have never seen. In

Thomas Friedman

Thomas L. Friedman's No.1 bestseller "The World Is Flat" has helped millions of readers to see globalization in a new way. Now Friedman brings a fresh outlook to the crises of destabilizing climate change and rising competition for energy - both of which could poison our world if we do not act quickly and collectively. His argument speaks to all who are concerned about the state of the world in the global future. Friedman proposes that an ambitious national strategy - which he calls 'Geo-Greenism' - is not only what we need to save the planet from overheating; it is what we need to make us all healthier, richer, more innovative, more productive, and more secure.As in "The World Is Flat", he explains a new era - the Energy-Climate era - through an illuminating account of recent events. He sets out the clean-technology breakthroughs the world will need; he shows that the ET (Energy Technology) revolution will be both transformative and ...

Hot Topic : Global Warming and the Future of New Zealand

Gareth Renowden

What does a warming world mean for New Zealand - and for you personally? Will we fry and starve, or bask and thrive? How will it affect our standard of living, our overseas trade, our local industry, the future of our children - and our much loved days at the beach?
Science writer Gareth Renowden puts climate change into a New Zealand context, using the latest information just received from the 2007 International Panel On Climate Change's Fourth Assessment Report. In plain language he tells us what we all need to know, including: what changes we can expect and when, what the government can do about it (and not), how individuals and businesses can respond to the challenge and what the potential benefits and disadvantages will be. Renowden lays out the scientific basis for action, and looks at New Zealand's options for mitigation in a scrupulously non-partisan manner.

Melting Point : New Zealand and the Climate Change Crisis

NZ$ 37.00 each
Paperback
Author:
Eric Dorfman

2
The idea of a serious threat from climate change is now becoming more and more accepted. The Al Gores of this world are becoming more vocal, and the cynics are being heard less often. The balance of scientific opinion is now that the evidence is irrefutable: the Earth is getting warmer, and at an unprecedented rate, due to increasing human-induced emissions of greenhouse gases.
Melting Point
examines the global warming issue in a specifically New Zealand context.
What will be the effect of climate change on New Zealand's natural environment, our coastlines, our agriculture, our industries, our public health, our infrastructure? What are the potential social and psychological implications? How will ordinary people be affected? And: what can be done about it, both to accommodate the pending changes but, more importantly, to turn back the tide?
