Song of the Earth: A Synthesis of the Scientific and Spiritual Worldviews
The Song of the Earth is the fourth and final volume in the Four Keys to Sustainable Communities series and brings together the voices of leading visionaries in science, spirituality, indigenous wisdom, innovative community, and social activism to paint a powerful portrait of new possibilities for the human family.
People across the globe yearn for a new civilization of harmony and vibrant cooperation among all peoples--living in balance with the Earth. This vision is not a dreamy fantasy; it is the birthright of humanity.
Stories, interviews, articles, and ideas from all over the world are collected to create an integral worldview for others to build upon. "The Song of the Earth contains voices that need to be heard, voices that affirm the unity of all life."--Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee
The Song of the Earth is the attempt to create an integral picture. It is the call to explore the marvelous web of life on our planet. It asks that we consciously design gentle, sustainable lifestyles and communities that honor diversity in all forms. The celebrated list of contributors includes Satish Kumar, Wangari Maathai, Joanna Macy, Chris Johnstone, Duane Elgin, Thomas Berry, Elisabet Sahtouris, Ross and Hildur Jackson, Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo, Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee, David Korten, The Venerable Dugu Choegyal Rinpoche, and Stephan Harding.
The Four Keys represent the four dimensions of sustainable design--the Worldview, the Social, the Ecological and the Economic. This series is endorsed by UNESCO and is an official contribution to the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development. The other books of the series are Beyond You and Me, Gaian Economics, and Designing Ecological Habitats. The Four Keys to Sustainable Communities series was completed in 2012 and is now available in the U.S. for the first time.

Maravilhosa compilação de textos sobre espiritualidade ao redor do globo. Entretanto, e há que se notar este entretanto, é uma compilação de autores anglófonos: leem-se ali as contribuições indiana, inglesa, norte-americana, sul-africana, australiana. Nada de Brasil ou Egito, México ou Japão. Reside aí sua grande lacuna, que se estende a toda a coleção. Uma coleção de resto valiosa: são os quatro livros que embasam as dimensões, ou módulos, do curso Gaia Education – Design em Sustentabilidade, formatado pela Rede Global de Ecovilas (GEN, na sigla em inglês) e aplicado em todo o mundo, com enorme sucesso em suas importantes adaptações locais.
