ZUGUNRUHE – The Inner Migration to Profound
Environmental Change, authored by internationally acclaimed green design visionary
Jason F. McLennan. Just prior to periods of great migration, certain species display
agitation and restlessness - a phenomenon referred to by scientists as ‘zugunruhe’.
McLennan identifies a similar pattern emerging among people yearning for a sustainable
future.
This book is intended as a catalyst for anyone interested in exploring a
deeper, more meaningful connection to the environmental movement. “Zugunruhe is
a work of creative genius that draws us into an engaging journey of self-discovery,
brings the biggest and most frightening issues of our time up close, and invites
our engagement,” notes David Korten, “It will leave you envisioning human possibilities
you never previously imagined.” Profound, personal and practical, McLennan’s narrative
reminds us that individual efforts ripple outward and can lead to revolutionary
change for the betterment of people and planet.
