The Everyday Guide to Saving the Planet One Simple Step at a Time Member Review Coming Soon, new arrival
Rescuing a Planet Under Stress and a Civilization in Trouble
John Stevenson's Review: This book is the most comprehensive environmental literature I have ever read, including my textbooks. It is divided into 3 sections covering the issues we face in the future, proposed solutions and a motivating optimistic portion about what is being done now. He discusses oil, water, global warming, civilization collapse, poverty and starvation. If it sounds sad, that's because the first part is. I would not recommend reading it straight through but using it as a reference book for specific topics. Lester R. Brown gives an excellent analysis of ethanol production and outlines global water shortages. In Jan. 08, Plan B 3.0 was published. I enjoyed 2.0 so much that I will be purchasing 3.0 and it will appear here soon. Btw, all 3 editions are available in their entirety at his website.
