The Climate is Changing, Can Humans? (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

This is a revision of a book beginning as a text for concerned students in European management courses, titled: "Short-Term Gain, Long-Term Pain." It posed an alternative thesis to what was being taught in most management and economics courses in most schools. That book introduced the notion that climate change was about to visit the business as usual they were being educated in. As such it outlined why and how they should seek innovative ideas and practices in what I called "business as unusual." From that book a couple of schools were considering renaming their programs to better match changes in student thinking and values in case business as usual would come to mean no business. Climate change consequences were already beginning to be realized at that time.

This book goes further and deeper into the need to change human thinking to prepare for the impending future, a future created during a human past since 1850 called the industrial. Its initial title of "Will Humans Change" was changed as suggested by science to focus on "Can humans Change." The first title deals with willingness. This change deals with the dire emergence of is it possible for humans to change as it is entropically too late?
