The Song of the Earth is the fourth and final volume in the Four Keys to Sustainable Communities series and brings together the voices of leading visionaries in science, spirituality, indigenous wisdom, innovative community, and social activism to paint a powerful portrait of new possibilities for the human family. People across the globe yearn for a new civilization of harmony and vibrant cooperation among all peoples--living in balance with the Earth. This vision is not a dreamy fantasy; it is the birthright of humanity. Stories, interviews, articles, and ideas from all over the world are collected to create an integral worldview for others to build upon. "The Song of the Earth contains voices that need to be heard, voices that affirm the unity of all life."--Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee The Song of the Earth is the attempt to create an integral picture. It is the call to explore the marvelous web of life on our planet. It asks that we consciously design gentle, sustainable lifestyles and communities that honor diversity in all forms.The celebrated list of contributors includes Satish Kumar, Wangari Maathai, Joanna Macy, Chris Johnstone, Duane Elgin, Thomas Berry, Elisabet Sahtouris, Ross and Hildur Jackson, Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo, Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee, David Korten, The Venerable Dugu Choegyal Rinpoche, and Stephan Harding. The Four Keys represent the four dimensions of sustainable design--the Worldview, the Social, the Ecological and the Economic. This series is endorsed by UNESCO and is an official contribution to the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development. The other books of the series are Beyond You and Me, Gaian Economics, and Designing Ecological Habitats. The Four Keys to Sustainable Communities series was completed in 2012 and is now available in the U.S. for the first time.

"Essential reading ... signposts to sustain an activist's heart ... "Rob Hopkins, co-founder of Transition Network"Maddy's voice of courage is a clarion call to anyone who has a rumbling in their belly, a hunger for a world of radical care and vital connection."Looby Macnamara, author of People and Permacultureand 7 Ways to Think Differently"Strangely rollicking good fun!"John D. Liu, film makerand Founder of the Ecosystem Restoration Camps movementMaddy Harland offers a unique frontline take on the environmental successes and challenges facing this planet and its people. She explores the rise of permaculture globally, from its origins in Australia in the 1970s to its current worldwide activities, and describes the positive developments of this global movement and its huge potential.Amid a wealth of solutions and the ecocide of `business as usual', Maddy interfaces practical permaculture with global transformation and deep ecology. She writes of regenerative culture, earth restoration and social permaculture long before they became core ideas and practices. Her deep connection with the natural and human worlds and all that our differing cultures have to offer adds a beautiful dimension of heart to the book ...A treasure trove of gems of inspiration arising from the edges where the personal, local, national and global intersect and a glimpse into the life and mind of a remarkable woman.
