Description
`Creative Solutions to a World in Crisis' is a manual for change, a wakeup call for us to take back control over our lives before they become irreversibly controlled. The book examines where we lost our way: historically, socially, environmentally, agriculturally, economically, technologically, and in law, education and spirit. It demonstrates how to now resolve the key dilemmas brought about via `wrong doing' in each of these spheres -and beyond.
The book focuses on pragmatic human scale resolutions to conflicting socio-economic problems, proposing realisable `local' solutions as an antidote to rapidly developing global crises.
Through the channelling of reawakened human energies into a process of root and branch societal reform, the author foresees a `new renaissance' of hope, creative endeavour that can reshape our perilous planetary existence and lead to a deeper and more subtle relationship between man and nature as well as between fellow human beings.
Quite simply: it is an uncompromising call for us to rise to meet the challenge of our time.

Person
Julian Rose is one of the pioneers of UK organic farming, commencing the conversion of his farm in 1975. He joined the Soil Association board in 1984 and campaigned vigorously for the widespread introduction of organic farming methods at a time when this system was not known. Julian achieved notoriety when he brought a cow up to London (Hyde Park Festival of Farming) and demonstrated vociferously against a government attempt to ban unpasteurised milk.
Julian has written and broadcast extensively and has just completed a book "Changing Course - For Life", about the radical changes needed to bring new hope to society. He is an environmental activist and a defender of peasant and family farming traditions throughout the world.
