Big World, Small Planet: Abundance within Planetary Boundaries

図や写真がとても綺麗。ゴアさんの本よりデータが確実かつ明瞭。

An excellent succinct outline of the key issues facing us in the near future. Interestingly, it manages to tread a fine line of being positive while talking about the catastrophic issues/measurable changes that are happening by also offering solutions.If anything I found it a little naïve in places but I suppose better that than "the sky is falling" or "change or die" both may be true but not sure if anyone will listen?Finally, I enjoyed reading it and would recommend it heartily!

If Silent Spring initiated concern about climate change and environmental issues, Big World Small Planet is Rachel Carson's brilliant descendent. It chronicles the science. Beautiful photography. And it's strategy and recommendations are on themark. Perhaps most importantly BWSP does not get caught up in the false choice of wealth vs poverty. It makes the case for good climate strategy as a solution for dealing with wealth inequality. It also clearly establishes deadlines. And it means DEAD lines.

A compelling picture of our environmental future and what we can do about it.

Extraordinary. Every person on the planet needs to read this book immediately. Well written, cogent and convincing arguments, rational guidance for trying to keep our planet from tipping into an inhospitable environment for human life. Beautifully produced w photography that matches the words.
