The Age of Empathy: Nature's Lessons for a Kinder Society
Frans De Waal
De Waal's latest exploration of what makes people tick. Why is it here on a list of books about business sustainability? Because the ideology and institutions of contemporary capitalism systematically undermine the application of empathy, and I argue that is a core reason why capitalism is in crisis.

2010 Detroit – The Eco-Friendly BMW ActiveE Concept
2010 Detroit – The Eco-Friendly BMW ActiveE Concept
Blue’s the Theme. Complete with an interesting all-blue circuit graphics, a set of interesting blue-trimmed tires, and slightly over-sized branding on the sides, BMW debuted its EV 1-Series concept, the ActiveE Concept at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show. The ActiveE is a result of BMW’s constant efforts at research and development to produce a concept car of electric mobility intended for everyday use by individuals and select fleet customers in urban areas.
With an instant pick-up of 100km/hr in 9 secs (0-60 mph in approx. 8.5 seconds), its highest speed is 145km/hr and the maximum range remains just under 160km or 100 miles. The speed is definitely affected – it is half a second slower than its earlier electric version. It uses a 170 horsepower motor fixed at the rear axle with a torque of 184 lb-ft making it a rear-wheel drive, thereby, preserving the classic BMW feel of sheer pleasure while driving.
The other features include a 125 kilo-Watt motor provided by a lithium ion battery that is liquid cooled. Charge time of the battery varies depending on the location – In North America, using a high-current (32 ampere continuous) residential wall box, the charge time is about 4.5 hours. While in Europe, the battery pack can be fully charged in as little as 3 hours with a current of 50 ampere at 230/240 volts.
The BMW ActiveE Concept might hit the production rolls as early as 2011. Pricing and other details have not yet been announced.
