Jeremy Rifkin - The Empathic Civilization

Is empathy the key to the climate and energy crises? Jeremy Rifkin's The Empathic Civilization: The Race to Global Consciousness in a World in Crisis marks the return of "one of the leading big-picture thinkers of our day" (Utne Reader). Rifkin's first book in six years explores how interconnected empathy, energy and the climate are--and how dependent we are on them for global survival in the 21st century. By examining empathy's role in shaping our civilization and by highlighting innovators in the field of energy use, Rifkin--an advisor to several European heads of state and the best-selling author of The Hydrogen Economy and The European Dream--offers a provocative rethinking of human history and a concrete plan for the future.
