Publisher Synopsis
"A deeply researched, thoughtful assessment of existing global educational resources and how they can be reconfigured to address the requirements of ecologically aware paths to human development. Spariosu draws on worldwide cultural knowledge, wisdom traditions, and 21st-century science in his design for a transdisciplinary and experiential program -- Intercultural Knowledge Management -- which offers an inspiring and viable way forward."--Hazel Henderson, author of *Building a Win-Win World*, *Beyond Globalization*, and *Planetary Citizenship* " Global Intelligence and Human Development is a remarkable achievement. Combining sophisticated environmental politics with genuinely intercultural sensibilities, Spariosu"s book sounds an urgent call for the development of a pedagogy that stresses global learning and global intelligence. His project provides a much needed normative direction for recent debates concerning globalization, as well as an important alternative to reductionist-style "consilience" theories of unified learning."
