Climate scientist and green activist David Cromwell examines how and why the forces of globalization are opposing ecological sustainability, human rights, and social justice, and draws on examples from around the world to show what we can do to reverse the process.

This book addresses the crucial question of how the essential needs of the growing human population can be met without breaking the Earth's already-stretched life-support system. With four out of five people predicted to be urban dwellers by 2080, ‘One Planet’ Cities proposes a pathway to genuine sustainability for cities and neighbourhoods, using an approach based on contraction and convergence. Utilising interviews with key players, including the Global Footprint Network, World Future Council, WWF, mayors and government officials, and case studies from across the globe, including Europe, North and South America, Australia, South Africa, China and India, David Thorpe examines all aspects of modern society from food provision to neighbourhood design, via industry, the circular economy, energy and transport through the critical lens of the ecological footprint and relevant supporting international standards and indicators. Recommendations on managing supply chains and impacts, how the transition to a world within limits might be financed, and a deep examination of the Welsh Government's pioneering efforts follow. It concludes with an imagined vision of what a genuinely sustainable future might be like, and an appeal for 'one planeteers' everywhere to step up to the challenge. This book will be of great interest to practitioners and policymakers involved in governance, administration, urban environments and sustainability, alongside students of the built environment, urban planning, environmental policy and energy.

Johannes Kepler published Harmonies of the World in 1619. This was the summation of his theories about celestial correspondences, and ties together the ratios of the planetary orbits, musical theory, and the Platonic solids. Kepler's speculations are long discredited. However, this work stands as a bridge between the Hermetic philosophy of the Renaissance, which sought systems of symbolic correspondences in the fabric of nature, and modern science. And today, we finally have heard the music of the spheres: data from outer system probes have been translated into acoustic form, and we can listen to strange clicks and moans from Jupiter's magnetosphere.

People believe that governments and systems of justice give them the human rights, through specific rules, laws, and regulations, but this is never the case. Because your human rights are yours continuously as they are innate, since you are a living human being by nature. Authorities may give you privileges, yet rights and privileges are separate concepts. In fact, authorities take away your human rights, and many times, they do so with your full agreement, in a trivial manner. Since surprisingly, you cannot have authorities and human rights simultaneously. Should authorities not take away your human rights, mostly when you break the law? No, since human rights are innate, as this is your human nature. Even more, human rights are of the third intelligent human level, while laws, beliefs, privileges, corporations, and jurisdictions are of the first fictitious level, remaining incompatible. While authorities write these laws themselves, to infringe the human rights. Everybody knows it, and everybody makes it possible, losing the human rights, while also losing themselves and their loved ones. So you always wave your human rights, and fall into their jurisdiction, where they own you entirely, and they do to you as they please. And it always happens, with humans, souls, and everyone else. But why exactly do people go against people continuously, losing themselves and the entire world? It always depends on the interaction between people, because sometimes this is harmonious, and sometimes harmful. It is always preferred to have harmony in this world, yet when you want to have more than others do, you cannot have it in a harmonious, egalitarian manner, but only by force, called robbery. And when you persist to desire more than others, you have to change the entire world on your behalf, as tyrants do. Yet this is not the human world anymore, as it is not the human meaning, but only a fictitious enterprise, where humans become merchandise themselves, while fighting and exploiting themselves, in a disconnected manner. Because many times, people create entire wars to take what others have, in an organized crime, while other times, people use fictitious schemes and trickery to determine others to hand them everything including themselves, which is the same organized crime. And again, this is not at all the human meaning, yet it is always possible, through agreements, through their agreement to give you everything, while even calling you their great king, wonderful master, good lord, helpful patron, or wonderful chief, as you are always their tyrant, serving you for life. While you are not a human being anymore, and neither are they. With the human rights always present, to assure the continuous human freedom, meaning, and fulfillment in life and in this world, and with an entire world fictitious, under oath, and serving vehemently a multitude of tyrants taking everything for themselves, so what exactly is going on? This book helps you maintain control throughout life while protecting yourself, helping you understand your status, rights, privileges, and place in life and in this world, further helping you become more aware and more responsible. Otherwise, you end up with your entire human condition altered, and therefore with all human rights infringed.
