The Continuum Concept introduces the idea that in order to achieve optimal physical, mental and emotional development, human beings - especially babies - require the kind of instinctive nurturing as practiced by our ancient relatives. It is a true back to basics approach to parenting. Author Jean Liedloff spent two and-a-half years in the jungle deep in the heart of South America living with indigenous tribes and was astounded at how differently children are raised outside the Western world. She came to the realisation that essential child-rearing techniques such as touch, trust and community have been undermined in modern times, and in this book suggests practical ways to regain our natural well-being, for our children and ourselves.

#1 bestselling author and acclaimed venture capitalist John Doerr reveals a sweeping action plan to conquer humanity's greatest challenge: climate change.In 2006, John Doerr was moved by Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth and a challenge from his teenage daughter: "e;Dad, your generation created this problem. You better fix it."e; Since then, Doerr has searched for solutions to this existential problem-as an investor, an advocate and a philanthropist. Fifteen years later, despite breakthroughs in batteries, electric vehicles, plant-based proteins and solar and wind power, global warming continues to get worse. Its impact is all around us: droughts, floods, wildfires, the melting of the polar ice caps. Our world is squarely in a climate crisis and on the brink of a climate disaster. Yet despite our state of emergency, climate change has yet to be tackled with the urgency and ambition it demands. More than ever, we need a clear course of action. Fueled by a powerful tool called Objectives and Key Results (OKRs), SPEED & SCALE offers an unprecedented global plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions before it's too late. Used by Google, Bono's ONE foundation and thousands of startups the world over, OKRs have scaled ideas into achievements that changed the world. With clear-eyed realism and an engineer's precision, Doerr identifies the measurable OKRs we need to reduce emissions across the board and to arrive by 2050 at net zero-the point where we are no longer adding to the heat-trapping carbon in the atmosphere.By turns pragmatic and inspiring, SPEED & SCALE intersperses Doerr's wide-ranging analysis with firsthand accounts from Jeff Bezos, Christiana Figueres, Al Gore, Mary Barra, Bill Gates, and other intrepid policy leaders, entrepreneurs, scientists and activists. This book is a launchpad for leaders of all kind, for anyone anywhere who can move others to act with them. With a definitive action plan, the latest science and a rising climate movement on our side, we can still reach net zero before it is too late. But as Doerr reminds us, there is no more time to waste.________________ 'A critical blueprint for anyone looking to take concrete steps to reach net-zero emissions.'

Fire mænd og en kvinde mødes til et foredrag om dyre-etik. De fem er: Tandlægen Vidkun, den ressourcestærke bøsse og zoolog Sperber, serieromanforfatteren Hektor Gråbæk, vellidt af både mennesker og dyr, filmklipperen Såkaldte Bob, som fornemmer en stærk dragning mod Afrika, samt Lise Løvenskiold, politiefterforsker og single, der holder af Leopard-nips og fugle. Alle fem lever gennemregulerede og tilsyneladende lykkelige liv – men alligevel synes de hver især at være kommet til et slags vendepunkt i livet, der gør, at de vil væk fra det beskyttede liv i Norge. Og alle fem bærer de på en mere eller mindre eksplicit længsel efter at redde dyr. Så de beslutter sig for at rejse til Kenya for at kæmpe for, at dyrene stadig kan være en del af vores vilde natur. Med i bagagen har de en snedig yderst radikal plan om at gennemføre en happening ved hjælp af de fem ikoniske dyr: Bøffel, løve, leopard, næsehorn og elefant. For det er nødvendigt med ekstreme planer, når nu mennesket fucker med flora og fauna.

Den krise, der raser i Europa er ikke kun økonomisk, og den er hverken forbigående eller lokal. Den nuværende økonomiske krise er en lille del af en stor global systemkrise, hvor finansiel krise, råstofkrise, fødevarekrise og klimakrise spiller sammen og peger i retning af det samme. Nemlig, at den globale økonomi overskrider de naturgivne grænser.I DEN STORE OMSTILLING dokumenterer Jørgen Steen Nielsen på foruroligende vis, hvorfor politikere og økonomer kommer til kort med dagens krisestrategier, præget af tunnelsyn og traditionel tænkning. En epokegørende omstilling til en ny, grøn økonomi er absolut nødvendig.Bogen skildrer det imponerende og vitale netværk af internationale økonomer, tænketanke, erhvervsledere, og miljøfolk, som i dag er i fuld gang med at udvikle og afprøve modellen.»I dag ved vi godt, hvordan en ny ligevægtsøkonomi kan se ud og fungere. Den formidable politiske udfordring er at bane vej for den, at komme herfra og dertil,« siger forfatteren.

The author of the beloved No.1 bestseller The Shepherd's Life returns with a stirring history of family, loss and the land over three generations on a Lake District farm'I can't imagine anyone starting to read English Pastoral and not being eager to read it all at once, as I did, and not being moved by the life and the landscape Rebanks describes so well. I was thrilled by it' Philip Pullman As a boy, James Rebanks's grandfather taught him to work the land the old way. Their family farm in the Lake District hills was part of an ancient agricultural landscape: a patchwork of crops and meadows, of pastures grazed with livestock, and hedgerows teeming with wildlife. And yet, by the time James inherited the farm, it was barely recognisable. The men and women had vanished from the fields; the old stone barns had crumbled; the skies had emptied of birds and their wind-blown song. English Pastoral is the story of an inheritance: one that affects us all. It tells of how rural landscapes around the world were brought close to collapse, and the age-old rhythms of work, weather, community and wild things were lost. And yet this elegy from the northern fells is also a song of hope: of how, guided by the past, one farmer began to salvage a tiny corner of England that was now his, doing his best to restore the life that had vanished and to leave a legacy for the future. This is a book about what it means to have love and pride in a place, and how, against all the odds, it may still be possible to build a new pastoral: not a utopia, but somewhere decent for us all.

Dødsensfarlige klimaforandringer truer forude, og hvis vi vil stoppe dem, er det ikke nok at fokusere på teknologiske løsninger: Vi er nødt til at forstå de bagvedliggende årsager. For vores handlinger har rødder i vores værdier og verdens- syn, som grundlæggende er formet af vores religioner. Engang var der guder i planter, træer, dyr og bjerge i religioner over hele verden – den såkaldte animisme. Men i moderne tid er animismen forsvundet de fleste steder, og den svinder yderligere med den globale udbredelse af kapitalisme, industri og ortodokse former for kristendom og islam. Naturen er ikke længere hjemsted for levende subjekter, som skal respekteres, men er blevet et dødt objekt, som vi ofrer til guderne Penge, Forbrug og Vækst. Dermed er vi godt i gang med at save den gren over, som vi sidder på. Kan udbredelse af grøn religion og spiritualitet verden over være med til at forhindre den store klimakatastrofe? Det sø- ger denne bog svar på ud fra den tankegang, at når livsnød- vendige ændringer fra magtens top udebliver, bliver oprør fra neden en pligt. JENS-ANDRÉ P. HERBENER f. 1970, er cand.mag., mag.art. i religionshistorie og semitisk filologi. Er i dag adjunkt i religionsstudier ved Syddansk Universitet og fast debattør af religion i Politiken. Tidligere ansat ved Orientalsk og Judaistisk Afdeling, Det Kongelige Bibliotek, og Københavns Universitet. Forfatter til en lang række bøger, artikler, indlæg, blogs m.m.
