The Geography of Hope

The Geography of Hope

The Geography of Hope: A Tour of the World We Need is a non-fiction book by Chris Turner, published by Random House Canada in 2007. ISBN: 978-0-679-31465-3

Chris Turner reports on pro-environmental solutions at work around the world, from Canada’s largest wind farm to Asia’s greenest building and Europe’s most eco-friendly communities. In addition, Turner seeks out the next generation of political, economic, social and spiritual institutions that could provide the global foundations for a sustainable future, from the hills of northern Thailand to the parliament houses of Scandinavia. His study includes the villages of southern India, where microcredit finance has remade the social fabric, and America’s most innovative think tanks.
