 \n\nEcological and social crises are caused by an economic system dependent 
 on accelerating growth. This self-destructing political economy sets goals 
 in terms of corporate profits. A revolution is underway as people realize 
 that our needs can be met without destroying our world. Future generations 
 will look back at the epochal transition we are making to a life-sustaining 
 society, the Great Turning. It is gaining momentum, through the actions of 
 countless individuals and groups around the world. To see this as the 
 larger context of our lives clears our vision and summons our courage. 
 \n\nEco-philosopher Joanna Macy, Ph.D., is a scholar of Buddhism, general 
 systems theory, and deep ecology. She is a leading voice in movements for 
 peace, justice, and a safe environment. Interweaving her scholarship and 
 four decades of activism, she has created both a ground-breaking 
 theoretical framework for a new paradigm of personal and social change, and 
 a powerful workshop methodology for its application. Her wide-ranging work 
 addresses psychological and spiritual issues of the nuclear age, the 
 cultivation of ecological awareness, and the fruitful resonance between 
 Buddhist thought and contemporary science. This work is explored in her 
 books Despair and Personal Power in the Nuclear Age, Dharma and 
 Development, Thinking Like a Mountain, World as Lover, World as Self, and 
 Coming Back to Life: Practices to Reconnect Our Lives, Our World (with 
 Molly Young Brown, New Society Publishers, 1998). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
