Description: Ecosystems as Models for Restoring our Economies by John Giordanengo "Second printing, with editorial and citation updates."--Title page verso. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Humanity could not resolve our most serious health crises until discovering the nature of disease. We lack an equivalent understanding of the true nature of our economy, putting not only ourselves in jeopardy, but the ecosystems upon which we rely. Atop thirty years of work and research in ecology, economics, and business, Giordanengo describes the core structure of economies and ecosystems, while shedding light on basic rules that inform the resilience and productivity of both systems. This book provides a novel understanding of our economy that is sorely needed. More importantly, this book outlines a path for restoring our economies, essential to rebuilding our collective resistance to a future of expected global turmoil. Author Biography Giordanengo began building his career in ecological restoration in 1996, but his dedication to conservation goes back further. While studying business in the 80s, John became intrigued by a universal challenge: preserving earths ecosystems while meeting humanitys economic needs. In response to growing protests against globalization, he began the research and writing of Ecosystems as Models for Restoring our Economies. This work integrates 30 years of experience in ecology, business, and economics, indicating that the same drivers of ecosystem productivity and resilience also govern our economies. Building on his experience in ecological restoration, John now turns to a deeper conservation need-economic restoration. Review "Ecosystems as Models for Restoring our Economies appeals to a broad range of people across ages, values, and political beliefs, and will change the way we live our lives. Ill be sending this book to many people in my life moving forward, and believe it should be required reading for high schools, colleges, and any other educational program." Morgan Day, urban planning and sustainability writer "Giordanengo provides a comprehensive synthesis of ecological foundations and economic structure, sorely lacking in our quest to develop sustainable economies in the face of growing economic and environmental turmoil. From the roots of ecological restoration, this book delivers a clear path to restoring the American economy, in a way that speaks in a universal language to policy makers, business owners, academics and the general public. This book provides hopes for species, ecosystems and the planet." Kingsley Dixon, vice chair of the global board of directors, SER. "Entrepreneurs play a critical role in the ecosystem, and in the endurance and restoration of a thriving economy. Ecosystems as Models to Restoring our Economies, Giordanengos masterpiece book, distills natures most important principles with basic economic theory in a logical and seamless narrative. Your first takeaway might be - why havent we looked at the earths ecosystems before - for the answers to a sustainable economy? As a reader, you will be drawn to new clues and conclusions." Patty Alper, author of Teach to Work. "Finding the win-win-win solution that optimizes economics, environmental sustainability, and human well-being is an essential and urgent task facing all of us. Giordanengo approaches this problem with his unique background of scientist, NGO leader, and business owner. He makes credible arguments and presents credible scenarios to solve the crisis, offering empirical solutions that resonate and build up from the local to global scales. John writes with a level of clarity not common to his colleagues and has created a treatise well worth reading." Tim Seastedt, professor emeritus, UC Boulder "Biomimicry has helped ranchers like us develop rapid rotational grazing and other practices that help the environment as well as the bottom line. Can the lessons of ecosystem science be applied to entire economies? That is the critical question addressed by John Giordanengo in this insightful book. It is time for economic policy makers to collaborate with environmentalists and ecologists, to develop creative solutions for restoring both the planet and its human communities." David M. Jessup, author of Marianos Crossing and other award-winning novels.
