Just had my first
book review published... written with Janice McDougall and Norbert Hoeller... not sure why my name is first... unless its by order of first
name...and that *NEVER* happens!
The review was written for an amazing magazine about Bioinspired
Design - Zygote Quarterly... photos are
stunning... words aren't bad either*.
Giles also wrote some nice summaries of the ideas in the book for the Network for Business Sustainability earlier this year...

Aside:The book publisher is involved in the first UK Transition Town Totnes...
where many of the ideas from the book are being put into practice.
There is even a local Totnes Pound - to keep economic transactions
local...

interested in fast trains check out issue
#2 of Zygote Quarterly about the redesign of the front of the Japanese bullet trains based on the
shape of a King Fisher bill (not to mention the changes to the
pantograph!)
Giles Hutchins provides a fantastic resource in his book, The Nature of Business. It is incredibly robust and insightful, full of deep wisdom and accessible examples that can be drawn from immediately. What I particularly appreciated was Giles' ability to differentiate our current, outdated business model from what he calls the 'Business of the Future'. He outlines this shift in a very clear and organized manner, drawing ample inspiration from natural principles and alternative worldviews/value systems that have proven to be much more effective at living sustainability and resiliently over time. Overall, a very effective read - I can't recommend this book enough!

Such good book with a different approach to business! Anyone that is sick and tired of all the corporate way of approaching business but at the same time they are entrepreneurs or love business should read this book. Nature has wisdom and it applies to everything, including our professional projects and if we are stunned with its principles and apply them to our business things flow awesomely!

When we don't unmistakably comprehend our "why" at that point we go out on a limb of beginning a business we don't generally like, yet one we figured we "should" begin, or think will profit.
