Harmony: A New Way of Looking at Our World: the Prince of Wales

  o

John Newson (of Balsall Heath is our Planet) draws attention to Harmony: A New Way of Looking at Our World, a book published in 2010, written by Charles, then Prince of Wales, with Tony Juniper and Ian Skelly. 

Harmony spans the globe, from the rice farms of India to the prairies of America’s corn belt, from the temples of Ancient Egypt to the laboratories of industrial designers, identifying the different ways that contemporary life has abandoned the hard-earned practices of our history, a shift that has spurred a host of social problems and accelerated climate change.

For decades, Prince Charles has been studying a wide array of disciplines to understand every aspect of man’s impact on the natural world, and in that time he has examined everything from architecture to organic farming to sustainable economics.

His years of holistic research show how modern industrialization has led us to a state of disharmony with nature, created climate change, and pushed us to the brink of disaster.

The Prince of Wales has shared his views on how our most pressing modern challenges—from climate change to poverty—are rooted in mankind’s disharmony with nature, presenting a compelling case that the solution lies in our ability to regain a balance with the world around us.

Drawing on cases from farming, healthcare, transportation, and design, he offers solutions for change, outlining the steps we can take to regain the harmony of our ancestors.

His vision for our world incorporates the traditional wisdom of our past with the modern science of our present to avert catastrophe.

Harmony‘s publisher, Harper Collins, sees this intelligent, practical, and well-reasoned guide as an indispensable weapon in the battle to save our planet.
