Blake and Nils Gilman proposes a new framework for political governance to address the diverse crises of the modern era. The authors point out that current state-centered governance is insufficient to address global challenges such as climate change and pandemics, and argue that "Planetary Thinking," which takes the entire Earth into consideration, is necessary to respond to these issues. This book utilizes insights from Earth system science and political philosophy to re-evaluate the relationship between humans and the Earth. In particular, the authors propose a new concept of governance called "Planetary Subsidiarity," which aims to maintain a sustainable Earth environment for humans and other living things to thrive together. This book provides a comprehensive perspective and concrete proposals for global challenges, exploring a new governance model for building a sustainable future. - Title: Children of a Modest Star - Authors: Jonathan S.
