L'entreprise consciente : comment créer de la valeur sans oublier les valeurs
    Kofman, Fred

Fred Kofman nous invite à réconcilier et organiser les potentialités offertes à l’être humain, en considérant l’entreprise comme une communauté humaine consciente, c'est-à-dire combinant et équilibrant les valeurs émotionnelles, morales, mentales et spirituelles qui la constituent. Rapprochant les approches occidentales et orientales, croisant recherches spirituelles et sciences cognitives, Fred Kofman propose un modèle clair et puissant, une vision globale de la quête intelligente du bonheur, susceptible de réconcilier et d’organiser de très différentes perspectives. Une entreprise consciente se distingue par la valeur qu’elle apporte à ses clients, à ses actionnaires comme à ses collaborateurs ; elle produit de la durabilité et des performances exceptionnelles, valorisant solidarité et dignité de chacun.
Food, Inc. : how industrial food is making us sicker, fatter and poorer
    Weber, Karl

Food, Inc. is a powerful documentary deconstructing the corporate food industry in America. Aided by expert commentators such as Michael Pollan and Eric Schlosser, the film poses questions such as: Where has my food come from, and who has processed it? What are the giant agribusinesses and what stake do they have in maintaining the status quo of food production and consumption? How can I feed my family healthy foods affordably? Expanding on the film's themes, the book Food, Inc. will answer those questions through a series of challenging essays by leading experts and thinkers. This book will encourage those inspired by the film to learn more about the issues, and act to change the world.

Effects of forest certification on biodiversity
    Kuijk, Marijke van | Putz, Francis E. | Zagt, Roderick

Forest certification is widely seen as an important component of strategies for conserving the world"s forests. During the 1990s concern about the loss of biodiversity in logged forests was a key driver behind the emergence of forest certification. It was thought that by adhering to strict standards, production forests could help protecting biodiversity. Forest certification was introduced more than 15 years ago and since then more than 300 million hectares of forests have been certified under a variety of schemes. But does it work? Tropenbos International (TBI) now presents the results of a literature study evaluating the effects of forest certification on the biodiversity of temperate, boreal, and tropical forests. This publication addresses the effects of forest certification on biodiversity by discussing what biodiversity is, how it is measured, what sustainable forest management is, and by analyzing the available scientific literature on the effects of forest management activities and certification on biodiversity.

The vanishing face of Gaia
    Lovelock, James

James Lovelock's The Vanishing Face of Gaia: A Final Warning is a prophetic message for mankind from one of the most influential scientists of our age. James Lovelock's Gaia theory, the idea that our planet is a living, self-regulating system, has transformed the way we see our planet and what is now happening to it. In this book he distils a lifetime's wisdom and observation of the Earth to reveal the rate at which our climate is altering, how conventional 'green' measures are not working, and how life as we know it is going to change forever. Only Gaia, he shows, can help us fully understand this, and prepare us for the future.
