Harmony: A New Way of Looking at Our World

by Charles HRH The Prince of Wales

Overview

For the first time, His Royal Highness Charles, the Prince of Wales, shares his views on how mankind’s most pressing modern challenges are rooted in our disharmony with nature. In the vein of Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth and Van Jones’ Green Collar Economy, Prince Charles presents the compelling case that solutions to our most dire crises—from climate change to poverty—lie in regaining a balance with the world around us.

Editorial Reviews

"This," writes Charles, Prince of Wales, "is a call to revolution. The Earth is under threat. It cannot cope with all that we demand of it. It is losing its balance and humans are causing this happen. And so, like all revolutionaries, I feel it is necessary to overthrow what has become an establishment view." The Prince Charles of this book seems far removed from the controversial English royal that most Americans know, but in actuality, the heir apparent to the Commonwealth crown has been a vigorous advocate of environmentalism for decades. Harmony draws on traditional wisdom, historical examples, and modern practices to show how we can restore our classical balance with nature.
