Global Chorus: 365 Voices on the Future of the Planet

Global Chorus: 365 Voices on the Future of the Planet by MacLean, Todd E.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781771601030.

An illustrated collection of 365 reflections brings together voices from science, environmentalism, politics, art, spirituality and everyday life to consider humanity’s future. Global Chorus is structured as a year of daily meditations around a large question: whether humanity can respond to environmental and social crises while creating conditions in which people and other species can continue to thrive. The contributors come from many fields and backgrounds, including scientists, writers, environmentalists, spiritual leaders, artists, athletes, doctors, educators, business people, activists, students and public figures. Well-known contributors include David Suzuki, Jane Goodall, Stephen Hawking, Maya Angelou, Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu, Mikhail Gorbachev, Farley Mowat and the Dalai Lama, alongside many less-famous voices. Most contributions were created for the project, with some drawn from speeches or previously published work. The result is a wide-ranging anthology rather than a single argument, allowing readers to encounter a different perspective each day. The book is suited to environmental studies, sustainability, global perspectives and reflective reading.
