"Failsafe is brilliant, so thoroughly researched, eloquently written and, most of all, so needed. It’s a wonderful book. Frightening to read while observing the band-aids and half measures being proposed in the US."- Peter Cutler, writer and artist, Boston USA"I am deeply impressed by this holistic treatise, Failsafe. His conclusions are encouraging, to see mother earth and ourselves with the healing hands of a Bodhisattva. A Lotus to him a Buddha to be!"- Axel Traexler, Global Marshall Plan, Austria"For ten thousand years of the agricultural revolution, humans continued to understand that we were deeply embedded in and utterly dependent on nature because farmers pay attention to weather and climate, winter snow and summer moisture, beneficial insects and plants, etc. Over the past century, humanity has undergone an astonishing transition from rural village inhabitants to big city dwellers where we feel ourselves disconnected and isolated from nature and ensconce the economy as our highest priority. The way we see the world, shapes the way we treat it and if we no longer perceive the planet as our sacred home, but instead, as an economic opportunity, then we will continue to log, mine, dam and degrade the biosphere. In Failsafe, Ian Prattis offers a way to a perceptual transformation that is absolutely critical if we are to find a truly sustainable future."- David Suzuki, author, environmentalist, host of CBC’s The Nature of Things
