The author presents his own conclusions about high thinking and simple living, as well as interviewing prominent activists including scientist Vandana Shiva, Satish Kumar, Banwari (editor of Jansata, a Hindi daily newspaper) and prominent environmentalist Sevak Saran. Includes over 45 illustrations.

Reader ReviewsWhat an important, inspiring synthesis. The Vaishnava vision of sustainability is presented with lucidity and depth. Gandhi's teachings are so timely, and so insightful. The examples of the lives of Satish Kumar and Balbir Mathur empower each of us toward action. I plan to give this book to my grandson, he loves nature & he loves Krishna.
