Welcome to Berrett-Koehler Publishers

Hot Title



 

"The commons" is a term 
that denotes everything  we share as opposed to own privately. Some parts of the commons are gifts of nature: the air and oceans, the web of species, wilderness, and watersheds. Others are the product of human creativity and endeavor: sidewalks and public squares, the Internet, our languages, cultures, technologies, and infrastructure.  
 
In graceful but compelling prose, authors Jonathan Rowe and Peter Barnes illuminate the scale and value of the commons, its symbiotic relationship with the rest of the economy, its importance to our personal and planetary well-being, and how it is threatened by privatization and neglect.
