<p>A "3D" rainforest produces 200 tons of biomass per acre per year. The best harvest from our "2D" flatland farms yield 4 tons per acre per year. That's the promise of The Third Dimension. If we use the space and resources available, we can grow an abundance of food and fuel. It is possible to feed 10, or even 12 billion people on planet earth with healthy and tasty food without destroying the environment. In fact, in the process, we can restore much damage done, put nature back on its evolutionary path, generate millions of jobs, and rebuild communities.This book shows how the world economy and our societies are transforming by following 12 emerging trends. These trends embody a natural systems approach to evolution. After centuries of linear thinking, seeing and accepting the potential for growth in non-linear ways poses a challenge for us. You cannot "plan" a rainforest, but once you get a rainforest going, change is deeper, more fundamental, and more rewarding than anything that could have been achieved through old-fashioned planning. The scale of the burgeoning transformation captured in the 12 trends of The Third Dimension is beyond anything we have ever been able to imagine.Praise for The Third Dimension"This book is a must read in a world where our imagination is often dimmed by mindsets stuck in old models of either or. The 12 trends in this book take us surfing wave after wave as we take in the fresh air of nature's magnificent power and majesty. At the end, we can only bow to nature's capacity to heal what humanity in its limitations has broken."-Mamphela Ramphele, Vice Chancellor University Cape Town, Managing Director of the World Bank </p>

Double Digit Growth: How to Achieve it with Services

Pauli Publishing, Belgium

The Strongest Tree is a beautifully illustrated, bilingual Spanish/English children's book that uses Gunter Pauli's ZERI* Education model to teach children science. In this story, a tree explains how it will become the strongest in the forest, thanks to its interaction with the other creatures that share its habitat, even the ones it finds distasteful. The book includes a teachers and parents guide and hands on activities that help children apply what they have learned. Gunter Pauli's ZERI* Education model proposes that children, adolescents, and young adults learn science in a way that gives them a more profound academic understanding at the same time that it helps develop their emotional intelligence, eco-literacy, and artistic/creative capacities. If children are to learn how to think, design, create, and dream in systems, then they must be exposed to systems thinking at an early age. Critical concepts become part of the child's long-term memory and the student gains an intuitive grasp of the big picture. Then the learning of the specific tools, concepts, and principles involved become far more appealing. When students start with a story that integrates ethics, economics, biology, and mathematics, they will be drawn to studying those disciplines later on. Pauli's work in sustainable manufacturing and agricultural became the catalyst for a major educational reform in Colombia. The strife and violence that exists in this country spawned an urgent desire on the part of college students to rebuild their society. The professors and engineering students at University EAFIT in Medellin, Colombia, eagerly embraced an integrated educational approach, including a compulsory course in biology for engineering majors. As the concept spread to other universities, the need to mold the earlier educational tracks in this new direction became apparent; first in a High School in Manizales where ZERI's coffee and bamboo projects have taken off, and then in elementary schools which asked for a version of this program adapted to their level, comparable to the Garden School projects of the Center for Ecoliteracy.
