More about the book

For the first time, HRH The Prince of Wales shares his insights on how pressing modern challenges like climate change and poverty stem from humanity's discord with nature. He argues that the solution lies in restoring balance with the world around us. This thought-provoking book shifts the discourse on sustainability and climate change, emphasizing that solutions extend beyond technology to encompass a fundamental change in our worldview. Having studied various disciplines for decades, the Prince examines the extensive impact of modern industrialization on the natural world, revealing how it has led to disharmony and climate crises. His research spans from the rice farms of India to America’s corn belt, highlighting how contemporary life has strayed from historical practices, resulting in social issues and exacerbated climate change. Through examples from farming, healthcare, transportation, and design, he proposes actionable solutions, envisioning a future that marries traditional wisdom with modern science to prevent disaster. Ultimately, this work illustrates what humanity has lost in the modern age and outlines steps to reclaim the harmony of our ancestors. Enhanced with vibrant photographs and charts, this insightful guide serves as a crucial tool in the fight to protect our planet.
