The Tangled Bank | Children of a Modest Star

"It is interesting to contemplate a tangled bank closed, with many plants of many kinds, with birds singing in the bushes, with various insects flitting about, and with worms crawling through the damp earth, and to reflect these elaborately constructed forms, so different from each other, and dependent upon each other, and so complex a manner have been produced by laws acting around us."
In the groundbreaking Children of a Modest Star, Berggruen Institute's Jonathan S. Blake and Nils Gilman not only challenge dominant ways of thinking about humanity's relationship to the planet and the political forms that presently govern it, but also present a new, innovative framework that corresponds to our inherently planetary condition.
