Narrado por: H.R.H. The Prince of Wales

A blueprint for a more balanced, sustainable world by King Charles III. This compassionate and insightful book shines a light on our new monarch’s deep interest in the world around us.

Long before the phrase climate change was a universal catchphrase, our new monarch, King Charles III was studying the impact of industrialization on the environment. In this fascinating cross-discipline work, he calls upon his years of research and explores the way in which mankind must work to restore the delicate balance with nature that we've lost in the centuries since the industrial revolution began.

In 'Harmony', His Majesty King Charles III discusses how areas as diverse as architecture, farming and medicine have each abandoned the classical balances with nature that existed in pre-industrial times. More than simply another treatise on global warming, 'Harmony' tells a story that presents a clear, thoughtful look at how our disassociation from nature has helped to in the greatest environmental crisis in the history of mankind.

Reseñas de la Crítica

‘An important book…By promoting the idea of a revolution in consciousness as the remedy for contemporary ills the prince shows he is a modern man.’ THE INDEPENDENT

‘A bold and courageous book.’ THE TELEGRAPH

‘The breadth is panoramic… The book has an engaging candour, inviting the reader into a one-on-one conversation…Harmony reacquaints us with a sense of our collective spirit.’ THE ECOLOGIST

Intelligent, practical and uplifting.

Incredibly well researched and grand in it's scope. After the first couple of hours I was getting so depressed about the state of the world that I wondered if I could take another nine hours. Fortunately,once he defines the problems he leads you through a fascinating tour of world history, philosophy, art and science. After establishing where humanity took a wrong turn he presents a practical new path for us to take. A road map for everything from climate change, agricultural practices, education and economics is laid out. As he states in the book, if you don't agree with his solutions, come up with better ones because "business as usual" is no longer an option. Contrary to his image in the media, Prince Charles is a true modern day philosopher full of compassion, insight and wisdom. He should be given his place as King of England and we could do worse than to have him as king of the world. Everyone should read this book.
