A call to the consciences

The son of a blacksmith southern Algeria, Pierre Rabhi is both a farmer, writer and thinker, he is also one of the pioneers of organic farming and the inventor of the concept "Oasis everywhere" and can brag (even if man does not do) to have participated in the elaboration of the UN Convention on the fight against desertification.

This book, first of all, is a call for moderation: moderation of the needs and desires of man, freely accepted, first condition for this approach allows to put the people and nature at the center. "Only after the last tree has been cut, the last river has been poisoned, the last fish has been caught, only then will you find that money can not be eaten" is keeping this ancient parable head that the author, from an early age, will forge his outrage at a system "omnicrétinisant". Both story of a life and brilliant demonstration that to change the world, everyone can act on its own scale, this book reads in one with passion and greed.

It is healthy and rewarding to be in this book. The author's vision is comprehensive and based on evidence and applicable by everyone. The challenge to our education sustème to the equally important in our lifestyles consumateurs is another way that Peter Tabhi invites us to reflect.

Nothing learned or sententious in his way, but just interrohgations that hit ("what planet we leave to our children" but also "what children we leave to our planet?") And ideas that bring in others. Sober, happy, fresh and motivating, this little book is a feast for the mind!
