And lives that could leave a legacy to be proud of - a future worth the name.<br /><br />As we discover, all were inspired by a work of rare depth that is rekindling optimism in the creativity and intelligence of humans to nurse our communities and ecology back to health – Lean Logic: A Dictionary for the Future and How to Survive It – the posthumously published lifework of the late David Fleming. In his words:<br /><br />“We know what we need to do. We need to build the sequel, to draw on inspiration which has lain dormant, like the seed beneath the snow."<br />...<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBcVmrJX84s" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBcVmrJX84s</a>
