Reader reviews for One Earth, One Future: Our Changing Global Environment

From the publisher

Written for nonscientists, One Earth, One Future can help individuals understand the basic science behind changes in the global environment and the resulting policy implications that the population of the entire planet must face.

The volume describes the earth as a unified system--exploring the interactions between the atmosphere, land, and water and the snowballing impact that human activity is having on the system--and presents perspectives on policies and programs that can both develop and protect our natural resources.

One Earth, One Future discusses why such seemingly diverse issues as historical climate change, species diversity, and sea-level rise are part of a single picture--and how human activity is the critical element in that picture.

The book concludes with practical examinations of economic, security, and development questions, with a view toward achieving improvements in quality of life without further environmental degradation.

One Earth, One Future is must reading for anyone interested in the interrelationship of environmental matters and public policy issues.

From the rear cover

'One Earth, One Future explains, in very clear and understandable terms, the complex web of processes that compose and threaten our planet's environmental systems. This book makes it indelibly apparent that humanity is altering the natural balance that has governed the planet's natural environment. Indeed, we are now a powerful force of change in the natural world.'
