Book Overview

The twelve futuristic strategies represent a set of tools designed to promote an environmentally sustainable future for the universal benefit of the human race, its planetary home-world, and the generations yet to come. To achieve the practical realization of these new and transformative technologies, we may move beyond the old restrictive paradigms of 20th Century thinking, and continue to blaze adventurous new pathways into the future. In Dr. Maynard's own words, "If these twelve Metastrategies can be successfully integrated into the scientific and social fabric of Planet Earth, humans can successfully continue their co-evolutionary journey into the Third Millennium-instilled with a renewed spirit of enlightened accomplishment and joyful satisfaction in their new symbiotic relationship with their fellow global citizens and with Planet Earth."

A comprehensive survey of challenges and solution paths.

Transforming the Global Biosphere is a comprehensive compendium of the global environmental issues that will frame human attention over the next century. Even more importantly, it demonstrates a quality of mind that is capable of meeting these challenges, where such a mind is open, versatile, complementary, creative, and unconstrained by habits of convention. It implicates an education where such minds might be nurtured according to "authentic interests," which underpins creativity with far stronger foundations than those provided by normative training.
