Hi Michael and all,

Wow! This seems to be a very interesting reference. I just bought the book.

Yes! Two other references that come to my mind in relation to this are:
1) "The Battle for the Life and Beauty of the Earth: A Struggle Between Two World-Systems" by Christopher Alexander
http://janhoglund.eu/book-review-the-battle-for-the-life-and-beauty-of-the-earth/
Christopher Alexander states directly that ”we will not be able to make a living world, unless we put in place entirely new kinds of human organization and new operational assumptions, which … encourage beauty, health, and genuine humanity to be achieved” (p.57).
2) "Freedom to Live: The Robert Hartman Story" by Robert Hartman
http://janhoglund.eu/book-review-freedom-to-live/
Robert Hartman writes that the ”danger that threatens life” is the ”tremendous gap between those who think in terms of human values and those who think in the collective terms of non-human systems” (p.124).
Thanks,
Jan, Sweden
