Encounter and contact engender new and valid forms. This is a book which shatters popular stereotypes and offers a new slant on the globalization debate.

Hermann Fischer

Material Change

Hermann Fischer is a chemist and entrepreneur, and a pioneer and advocate of
the use of renewable raw materials. Star ting out from the biochemistry of our
own metabolism, Fischer uses his in-depth knowledge and vast experience to
open the eyes of his readers to the magic of substances and their compounds as
they shape our material environment. He illustrates that, parallel to the changes
in perception and provision of energy generation, a material change is also long
overdue in the chemical industry: our economies can only ever be sustainable if
we harness the power of the sun.

In the Beginning was Ecology

The Bible, with its assertion of mans' "dominion" over the whole earth, has long endured a poor ecological reputation, but the stories in the Old Testament reveal a surprisingly modern take on nature. Gods' laws - including the one forbidding Jews the consumption of pork - are clearly ecologically sound.

Securing Energy

What form would a global energy policy take if it were based, not upon who wields the greatest power, but upon the rule of law? How can rapidly depleting resources be managed to the advantage of all and therefore conflicts averted? How can we avoid irreparable damage to areas of untouched natural beauty all in the name of accessing valuable resources? And, at the end of the day, how do we arrive at an international energy policy which not only provides safe, economical energy, but also addresses the all-important question of climate change?

Hermann Scheer

The Politicians

It bodes ill for democracy when voters turn their backs on politics and politician becomes a term of abuse. Hermann Scheer, a politician, scientist and practical visionary, looks at the present state of political institutions and protagonists, and the often quite contradictory ideas we have about them. A timely plea for a fresh understanding of politics and for the courage to get involved.
