Publisher Description

A blueprint for a more balanced, sustainable way to live in the face of climate change, 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 words ‘climate change’ became a universal catchphrase, our new monarch, King Charles III was studying the impact of industrialization on the environment. In this fascinating work, he 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.

King Charles III examines how areas as architecture, farming and medicine have each abandoned the balance with nature that existed in pre-industrial times. More than simply another treatise on global warming, Harmony presents a clear, thoughtful look at how our growing disconnection from nature has accelerated the greatest environmental crisis in the history of mankind.
