| Notes | The Earth is now desperately vulnerable; so are we. This gift-priced-and-sized book contains original, stimulating mini-essays about what is going wrong with our planet and about the greatest challenge of our century: how to save the Earth for us all. It is pithy, yet intellectually credible well-referenced, wry, yet deadly serious. Researched and written by an eminent British architect, James Bruges, The Little Earth Book is a clarion call to action, a mind-boggling collection of mini-essays on today’s most important environmental concerns, from global warming and poisoned food to economic growth, Third World debt, genes and “superbugs.” Undogmatic but sure-footed, the style is light, explaining complex issues with easy language, illustrations and cartoons. Ideas are developed chapter by chapter, yet each one stands alone. It is an easy browse—equally at home bedside, in the bathroom or in a briefcase. The Little Earth Book provides hope, with new ideas and examples of people swimming against the current, of bold ideas that work in practice. [goodreads] |
