The complexity and urgency of today's environmental challenges will not be solved by experts, politicians, activists and others working in isolation. Real breakthroughs arise only when stakeholders agree to have conversations about controversial issues with a new, open attitude. This book is a must read for anyone looking to get beyond the either/or mindset. It is an accessible and intelligent book for all of us wanting to get divergent groups of people to collaborate and innovate together.
