A Moment on the Earth: The Coming Age of Environmental Optimism

Trama

Greg Easterbrook's "A Moment on the Earth" proclaims a revolution in environmental thinking. In the first section of the book Easterbrook draws upon biology, geology, and environmental theory to show how the flow of life appears from nature's point of view. Part Two of the book analyzes, persuasive detail, every major environmental issue of our time - from energy, forests, and population, to radiation, toxic waste, and water-separating.
