Are you living in frustration because the two options of handling the future presented by the media seem so extreme? Do you feel disoriented at home and work? Are you experiencing feelings of anxiety, frustration, and helplessness because of the constant pressure to be sustainable? David Auge has spent decades searching for the most successful way to explain sustainability to others. Now with the help of two diverse insect communities and the contrast they provide at this critical juncture of human civilization he’s done it. In this book, he not only explains how to grasp these competing approaches posed by honeybees and desert locusts, but also why these competing communities achieve the profoundly important goal of sustainability. In Man’s Search for Sustainability, David Auge teaches you how sustainable societies: · Manage stress through either order (honeybees) or growth (desert locusts). · Allocate work through either discipline (honeybees) or opportunity (desert locusts). · Make decisions through either debate (honeybees) or chaos (desert locusts). · Communicate through messages (honeybees) or examples (desert locusts). · Maintain balance and tension through group effort (honeybees) or individual effort (desert locusts). · And through this study, prompts all to ask the very important question of human societies approach to sustainability. Man’s Search for Sustainability is structured to question current approaches, increase understanding, and teach you to think from a place of familiarity by presenting the sustainability extremes of doing what scares you. After reading this book you'll learn to balance future decisions in new and exciting ways.
