Reimagining the human-nature relationship, challenging traditional approaches to environmental and social conflict.
COOKSTOWN, NJ, UNITED STATES, May 3, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- “Human Nature and the Potential in Nurture” by systems scientist David L. Hawk presents a compelling critique of conventional methods used to manage human and environmental relationships. Rooted in decades of cross-disciplinary research and global academic engagement, the book introduces a strong argument: efforts grounded in regulation by threat not only fail to resolve conflicts, but often exacerbate them—whether between people or between humans and the natural world.
The book originated in Hawk’s doctoral research at the University of Pennsylvania, conducted through the Institute of International Business at the Stockholm School of Economics. With collaboration from twenty firms and six governments, the study investigated how human behaviors—particularly those driven by control and coercion—impact the larger ecological and social systems.
Hawk, whose extensive career spans engineering, architecture, urban planning, and academic leadership in the United States, Europe, and Asia, applies a systems science lens to uncover the limitations of threat-based governance. The research reveals a recurring flaw: the reliance on threats as strategic tools leads to deeper divisions and more severe environmental degradation.
By advocating for a shift toward nurturing systems—ones that emphasize cooperation, mutual respect, and long-term understanding—“Human Nature and the Potential in Nurture” offers an alternative framework for addressing today’s most pressing ecological and societal challenges.
“Human Nature and the Potential in Nurture” stands as a critical resource for scholars, policymakers, and professionals seeking more sustainable models of interaction between human societies and the environment—now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other major online bookstore retailers.
