Zimmerman\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday there is a bewildering diversity of views on ecology and the natural environment. With more than two hundred distinct and valuable perspectives on the natural world--and with scientists, economists, ethicists, activists, philosophers, and others often taking completely different stances on the issues--how can we come to agreement to solve our toughest environmental problems? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn response to this pressing need, \u003ci\u003eIntegral Ecology\u003c\/i\u003e unites valuable insights from multiple perspectives into a comprehensive theoretical framework--one that can be put to use right now. The framework is based on Integral Theory, as well as Ken Wilber's AQAL model, and is the result of over a decade of research exploring the myriad perspectives on ecology available to us today and their respective methodologies. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDozens of real-life applications and examples of this framework currently in use are examined, including three in-depth case studies: work with marine fisheries in Hawai'i, strategies of eco-activists to protect Canada's Great Bear Rainforest, and a study of community development in El Salvador. In addition, eighteen personal practices of transformation are provided for you to increase your own integral ecological awareness. \u003ci\u003eIntegral Ecology \u003c\/i\u003eprovides the most sophisticated application and extension of Integral Theory available today, and as such it serves as a template for any truly integral effort.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael E.
