Publisher's Summary
Long before the phrase 'climate change' was a universal catchphrase, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales was studying the impact of industrialization on the environment. Now, in this fascinating cross-disciplinary work, the Prince of Wales calls upon his years of research and explores the way in which mankind must work to restore the delicate balance with nature that we've lost in the centuries since the industrial revolution began.
In Harmony, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales draws upon a variety of elements from our modern world, and discusses how areas as diverse as architecture, farming, and medicine have each abandoned the classical balances with nature that existed in pre-industrial times. From the rice farms of India to America's corn belt, Harmony spans the globe, dissecting the specific practices of modern life that have put us at odds with nature and showing how these trends manifest themselves throughout the world.
Contrasting current styles of architecture with traditional design, and modern medicine techniques against those of the past, he paints a clear portrait of what we as a species have lost in the modern age. More than simply another treatise on global warming, Harmony tells a story that presents a clear, thoughtful look at how our disassociation from nature has led to the greatest environmental crisis in the history of mankind.

"A wonderful book!"
This is a wonderful book mainly about the environment, history and the future. It is very clearly and logically laid out (not an easy task with so much information). I consider myself fairly well-informed on the environment etc., but certainly learned a lot. It) is also quite inspirational - I realy think if I had read this while at school I might have taken up science (but only for the right reasons - i.e. to help protect nature..). Of course, the fact it is read by Prince Charles is a great bonus - he has a very pleasant voice and it is a pleasure to hear someone with the perfect pronunciation!!!

"Very enjoyable listen"
I have and would recommend this book to everyone. It's a pleasure to listen to and can lead to you wanting to do your own further research on subjects you may be interested in.
Its well laid out and easy to understand as well as not being to technical. It looks at different things and does a good job in bringing subjects together and linking them. I have listened to it twice and enjoyed it both times.
Ideal for anyone including students and people with a interest in the environment, culture, travel, history, art literature amongst other things.0 of 0 people found this review helpful
