Berggruen Institute Jonathan Blake Nils Gilman Stanford Press A must read

“‘Children of a Modest Star’ is an ambitious book. In just a few hundred pages, it aims to both outline the current state of global affairs and propose a quietly radical planetary transformation of the hierarchies of governance.” Thanks, jay and Long Now Foundation!

David Lammy Jacinda Ardern Conservation Intl I really appreciate your work to solve important planetary issues! Here’s a book for new thinking about these that I think you will find useful: Blake / Gilman , Children of a Modest Star - Planetary Thinking for an Age of Crises

“this new scientific emergent reality and how we're now coming to understand ourselves as embedded in the planet opens up new ways of thinking about ourselves and our politics that are nourishing for us all.”

Check out this video, if you want to hear me say the word 'scale' way too many times!

Long Now Foundation Nils Gilman Jonathan Blake Berggruen Institute CHILDREN OF A MODEST STAR presents a whole new way of thinking about how we might govern the planet from top to bottom, revamp institutions, create new ones designed to deal with planetary phenomenon, and break from endemic problems in today's systems. #G7Italy #SpecialMeeting24

🎯'Blake and Gilman argue that it is essential to reimagine our governing institutions in light of the fact that we can only thrive if the multi-species ecosystems we inhabit are also flourishing'
Seems like common sense to me!

If I wanted to be pedantic, I'd say that Nils Gilman and I didn't write a book of environmental policy, but instead I'll say: WE'RE #1! WE'RE #1!!

Cannot wait to read this

'A clear-eyed and urgent vision for a new system of political governance to manage planetary issues and their local consequences.'
