The Human Capacity for Transformational Change
Harnessing the collective mind
By Valerie A. Brown, John A. Harris
Pressures for transformational change have become a regular feature of most fields of human endeavour.

Inspired by the work of Teilhard de Chardin, Gregory Bateson and Heryk Skolwimoski and the results of the authors' research, this book offers ways and means of creating the synergies that are crucial in establishing a desired transformational change to a just and sustainable future.

Livelihoods, Natural Resources, and Post-Conflict Peacebuilding
Edited by Helen Young, Lisa Goldman

This book explores how natural resource management initiatives in more than twenty countries and territories have supported livelihoods and facilitated post-conflict peacebuilding.

Human Security and Natural Disasters
Edited by Christopher Hobson, Paul Bacon, Robin Cameron
This book develops human security not only through extending it to natural disasters, but also demonstrating how it can be developed by adopting an interdisciplinary approach. To date, the interdisciplinary dimension of human security has not received sufficient attention. The book demonstrates the value of drawing on a wide range of voices and examines the vulnerability of social groups and communities in the event of a disaster, and how they collectively empower themselves to prevent, respond to and recover from disasters.
