World on the Edge
Book (italiano):
We are facing issues of near-overwhelming complexity and unprecedented urgency. Our challenge is to think globally and develop policies to counteract environmental decline and economic collapse. The question is: Can we change direction before we go over the edge?<BR><BR>Lester R. Brown looks at our economic future through an environmental lens to develop a plan that will sustain civilization. He concentrates on four major components that will head us toward a brighter future: a massive cut in global carbon emissions, the stabilization of world population, the abatement of poverty, and the restoration of our planet's diverse natural landscape.<BR><BR>"Lester Brown is one of the pioneers and heroes of global environmentalism. If the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize had been extended to a third recipient, the logical candidate would have been Lester Brown."---E. O. Wilson<BR><BR>"[Brown's] ability to make a complicated subject accessible to the general reader is remarkable."---Katherine Salant, Washington Post
