2011br. Un paese di poche migliaia di abitanti nella morsa di infrastrutture e impianti nocivi, realizzati o progettati: la variante di valico autostradale, una turbogas, un inceneritore, una condotta idraulica a servizio di mezzo milione di persone. E poi cemento residenziale, commerciale, una cava più grande dell'abitato del capoluogo e, sotto la terra che un tempo dava nutrimento, la ricerca di idrocarburi. Un racconto di brutta politica e sfruttamento del territorio nell'Emilia del "buongoverno": una vicenda che sarebbe solo deprimente se non fosse stata riscattata dai cittadini: una storia incredibile ma così comune nell'Italia del terzo millennio da poter essere ignorata o dimenticata in fretta. Se non avesse avuto luogo a Marzabotto, dove tutto è memoria.

2022br. Nel 1972 tre giovani scienziati del celebre MIT di Boston pubblicarono un rapporto destinato a fare epoca. Si intitolava "I limiti dello sviluppo" e nel giro di poco tempo diventò un bestseller assoluto. In quel saggio gli autori, pionieri delle scienze informatiche, gettavano uno sguardo verso il futuro e, grazie a modelli di calcolo computerizzati, riuscivano per la prima volta a mostrare in modo inequivocabile le conseguenze della crescita incontrollata su un pianeta dalle risorse non infinite. Trent'anni dopo, armati di strumenti informatici ben più raffinati e di una mole enorme di dati statistici, quegli stessi autori si sono riuniti per lanciare ancora il loro grido d'allarme. Con uno stile semplice e piano e con rigore scientifico i tre scienziati non possono fare altro che confermare le previsioni di trent'anni fa, e metterci in guardia sui devastanti effetti dell'azione umana sul clima, la qualità delle acque, la biodiversità marina, le foreste e tutte le altre risorse naturali. Prima che sia troppo tardi.

2008br. Il premio Pulitzer Gary Snyder, cantore della "natura selvatica" e poeta ispiratore della beat generation, propone con questo studio una visione inedita dell'ecologia, un nuovo pensiero globale sulla natura. I nativi americani della West Coast provocano piccoli incendi pilotati per conservare intatto il rigoglio delle foreste. I saggi della raccolta ruotano intorno a questa immagine, metafora di un progresso armonico e non distruttivo, per offrire al lettore una risposta possibile e praticabile al bisogno di rinnovamento e purificazione, necessario all'emersione della nostra identità selvatica e alla nascita di un pensiero nuovo. Sono scritti autobiografici e universali, perché il pensiero di Snyder nasce sempre dall'esperienza personale, dall'incontro con gli uomini e con la terra che abitano. Dal Giappone, dove entra in contatto con lo Zen, alle foreste della Sierra Nevada, l'autore costruisce un percorso di consapevolezza interiore e invita, nel rumore assordante della civiltà attuale, ad ascoltare la voce della natura, che è anche la nostra voce, la più profonda.

2008Accustomed to understanding security primarily a matter spatial exercise in distancing and boundary making on the part of states and their military alliances to secure borders and institutions from outside threats, the nations of the world have so far given a short shrift to the gravity of environmental degradation as a factor or catalyst of intrastate or interstate conflict, or at worst, a security threat to entire humanity until the shafts of retaliatory responses of the infuriated climate change to the cloddish and brutish power of the rich industrialized nations to destroy it by its emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, pointed toward man menacing with funereal and cascading consequences of global warming. Thus, climate change, which has so far been on the fringe of human concern, or in American President’s view a myth or a hoax, has catapulted into the center stage of great political flare up among the nations of the world on the issue of apportioning the responsibility on rich industrialized nations or the populous South to mitigate the dangers of climate change, which seems to be mired in the contradiction between North’s advocacy of inequity in having uncontested access to the atmosphere as carton sinks, and equity while disabusing the atmosphere of the carbon debris. Not walking on trodden furrows, this book expatiates on the desideratum of a paradigm shift from faith in the Newtonian mechanistic view of the universe to a faith in the profundity of Eastern wisdom and new insights presently found in science, which see both nature and human beings as warp and woof woven beautifully into the divine tapestry. About The Author:- Narottam Gaan, Ph. D. and D.Litt. has been importing teaching in Political Science in different colleges since 1978 with unflinching commitment and dedication. Not being lured by the lucre of Allied Services {ICS} in 1983, he left the job to stay in the academic life. Publication of innumerable articles and papers in various journals in India and abroad, and eight books including this stands as a testament to his scholarship and deep acquaintance with wide-ranging subjects. Privileged to visit Austria, Hungary, Slovakia and Croatia on an Austrian government scholarship, he attended many conferences and programmes abroad and received advanced degree in international studies from European University Centre for Peace Studies, Stadtchlaining, Austria. His present work on environment, security, development, peace, human security and economic rethinking and various national and international issues challenging the established views on state, sovereignty and national security, entities him to be one of the few celebrated scholars working in India. As a prolific writer, he has earned encomium from both laymen and readers in India and abroad.
