For more than forty years the prairies of South Dakota have been Dan O'Brien's home. Working as a writer and an endangered-species biologist, he became convinced that returning grass-fed, free-roaming buffalo to the grasslands of the northern plains would return natural balance to the region and reestablish the undulating prairie lost through poor land management and overzealous farming.

Sommario/riassunto |
|
"Undercurrents teaches readers and activists how to invest time, talent, voice, and cash to improve the world by detailing six of the largest macrotrends shaping the world today. Those 6 macrotrends are: The world is becoming a diamond (the shift in the distribution of wealth) Communities are the customer Digital technology is a bridge; not a divide The last mile is no longer the hardest (the greatest need and hardest work lies not at the beginning of the journey OR in reaching the goal; it's the path you take to get there) Adaptation and access trump invention Complex partnerships yield the best results The book strives to create a shared understanding of the true shape of the world in the 21st century, supported by data, stories, experiences, and observations to promote well-being across many facets of society. Undercurrents frames Davis' ideas as a business leader and practitioner to help the interested become educated, the committed become activists, and the engaged become more effective"-- |
