1 2 y separately published work icon Treading Lightly: The Hidden Wisdom of the World's Oldest People Karl Erik Sveiby , Tex Skuthorpe , Crows Nest : Allen and Unwin , 2006 Z1416292 2006 selected work criticism life story Indigenous story 'Aboriginal people taught themselves thousands of years ago how to live sustainably in Australia's fragile landscape. A Scandinavian knowledge management professor meets an Aboriginal cultural custodian and dares to ask the simple but vital question: what can we learn from the traditional Aboriginal lifestyle to create a sustainable society in modern Australia? Karl-Erik Sveiby and Tex Skuthorpe show how traditional Aboriginal stories and paintings were used to convey knowledge from one generation to the next, about the environment, law and relationships. They reveal the hidden art of four-level storytelling, and discuss how the stories, and the way they were used, formed the basis for a sustainable society. They also explain ecological farming methods, and how the Aboriginal style of leadership created resilient societies.' Source: Back cover.
