En 1995 un derrame cerebral sumió a Jean-Dominique Bauby en un coma profundo, del que despertó viente días más tarde con el cuerpo completamente paralizado pero con las facultades mentales intactas Afectado de un síndrome de bloqueo interno sólo podía abrir el ojo izquierdo, su único medio de comunicación con el exterio era parpadeando. Giñaba una vez para asentir y dos para negar. Con su ojo retenía la atención del visitante en las letras del alfabeto que se le dictaban y componía palabras, frases, páginas enteras. Con su ojo escribió este libro.

Con una ironia sutilísima, Bauby, quien antes de sufrir el derrame había triunfado profesionalmente en la revista Elle, deja constancia de sus memorias y reflexiones en un breve libro de sobrecogedora dimensión humana..

The 5 Kingdoms of Nature is a beautifully illustrated, bi-lingual Spanish/English children's book that uses Gunter Pauli's ZERI* Education model to teach children science. The book includes a teachers and parents guide and hands on activities that help children apply what they have learned. Gunter Pauli's ZERI* Education model proposes that children, adolescents and young adults learn science in a way that gives them a more profound academic understanding at the same time that it helps develop their emotional intelligence, eco-literacy, and artistic/creative capacities. If children are to learn how to think, design, create, and dream in systems, then they must be exposed to systems thinking at an early age. Critical concepts become part of the child's long-term memory and the student gains an intuitive grasp of the big picture. Then the learning of the specific tools, concepts, and principles involved become far more appealing. When students start with a story that integrates ethics, economics, biology, and mathematics, they will be drawn to studying those disciplines later on. Pauli's work in sustainable manufacturing and agricultural became the catalyst for a major educational reform in Colombia. The strife and violence that exists in this country spawned an urgent desire on the part of college students to rebuild their society. The professors and engineering students at University EAFIT in Medellin, Colombia, eagerly embraced an integrated educational approach, including a compulsory course in biology for engineering majors. As the concept spread to other universities, the need to mold the earlier educational tracks in this new direction became apparent; first in a High School in Manizales where ZERI’s coffee and bamboo projects have taken off, and then in elementary schools which asked for a version of this program adapted to their level, comparable to the Garden School projects of the Center for Ecoliteracy.

En el iris la naturaleza nos ha colocado pequenas pantallas de television que exhiben las porciones mas remotas del cuerpo mediante respuestas nerviosas reflejas. Nos hemos dado cuenta de que el ojo funciona en dos direcciones: no solo lleva las imagenes del mundo exterior al interior, sino tambien imagenes de lo que acontece en el interior del organismo hacia el exterior..
