From the author of Binding Chaos, this book brings us back to the beginning. The beginning of designing a better method of governance and way of living is to look at the structure of our self.
The scope and originality of this book present a radical challenge to a seldom examined worldview. With an extremely wide reach and richness of detail, The Creation of Me, Them and Us sets the stage for further discussions of institutional reform by tackling the fundamental questions of who are we, what do we want, and why do we act the way we do?
These questions (and answers) are fundamental in understanding a world that may seem incomprehensible today. Welcome to the world of Binding Chaos, a groundbreaking series that introduces an enlightening and thought-provoking new framework to decode social behavior and institutions.
The Citadel follows the life of Andrew Manson, a young and idealistic Scottish doctor, as he navigates the challenges of practicing medicine across interwar Wales and England. Based on Cronin's own experiences as a physician, The Citadel boldly confronts traditional medical ethics and has been noted as one of the inspirations for the formation of the National Health Service.
This groundbreaking novel was a distinguished achievement of its time. It presents an honest and moving study of a young doctor, showcasing great literary taste and skill.
The Citadel has been adapted into several successful film, radio, and television productions around the world, including the Oscar-nominated 1938 film.
Ecotopia is a novel both timely and prophetic, offering a hopeful antidote to the environmental concerns of today. Set in an ecologically sound future society, it presents a visionary blueprint for the survival of our planet and our future.
Ecotopia was founded when northern California, Oregon, and Washington seceded from the Union to create a "stable-state" ecosystem: the perfect balance between human beings and the environment. Now, twenty years later, this isolated, mysterious nation is welcoming its first officially sanctioned American visitor: New York Times-Post reporter Will Weston.
Skeptical yet curious about this green new world, Weston is determined to report his findings objectively. But from the start, he's alternately impressed and unsettled by the laws governing Ecotopia's earth-friendly agenda: energy-efficient "mini-cities" to eliminate urban sprawl, zero-tolerance pollution control, tree worship, ritual war games, and a woman-dominated government that has instituted such peaceful revolutions as the twenty-hour workweek and employee ownership of farms and businesses.
His old beliefs challenged, his cynicism replaced by hope, Weston meets a forthright Ecotopian woman and undertakes a relationship whose intensity will lead him to a critical choice between two worlds.
