These issues prompt us to act but leave us to decide which of the many proposed solutions will deliver the future we hope for. Should we put our faith in technology, innovation, the market? Should we trust science, change our behaviour, adjust our lifestyles? Should we just carry on as usual?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur decisions will necessarily influence our future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFramework for Our Future\u003c\/em\u003e treats our current circumstance as part of a dynamic, complex human-environment system. It describes how we (as individuals), our culture and the environment interact, with feedback, over a wide range of scales to form the humanenvironment system and the constraints this imposes on our lives. It provides a model of the system that helps us to more fully appreciate how we arrived at our current circumstance, our contribution to it, how we change and our views about our possible futures. With this in place, \u003cem\u003eFramework for Our Future\u003c\/em\u003e asks us to consider an alternative possible future, viability, and suggests how we might gain the wisdom, and make the decisions and changes, to achieve it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFramework for Our Future\u003c\/em\u003e is an abridged version of \u003cem\u003eViability, Complexity and Us: The Framework Constraining Our Future\u003c\/em\u003e (Knight 2019).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Knight\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1771803932\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781771803939\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Iguana Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/25\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.25d","brand":"John Knight","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48453909381375,"sku":"9781771803939","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9733a921-929b-4dd1-afef-81be33b03bb2.jpg?v=1777302977","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/framework-for-our-future-john-knight-9781771803939","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
