Description:"A carefully laid-out argument about the ecological limits of our planet--and the challenge these limits pose to our patterns of life and economic growth."--Daniel C. Esty, coauthor of Green to GoldBig World, Small Planet probes the urgent predicament of our times: how is it possible to create a positive future for both humanity and Earth? We have entered the Anthropocene--the era of massive human impacts on the planet--and the actions of over seven billion residents threaten to destabilize Earth's natural systems, with cascading consequences for human societies.In this extraordinary book, the authors combine the latest science with compelling storytelling and amazing photography to create a new narrative for humanity's future. Johan Rockstr�m and Mattias Klum reject the notion that economic growth and human prosperity can only be achieved at the expense of the environment. They contend that we have unprecedented opportunities to navigate a "good Anthropocene." By embracing a deep mind-shift, humanity can reconnect to Earth, discover universal values, and take on the essential role of planetary steward. With eloquence and profound optimism, Rockstr�m and Klum envision a future of abundance within planetary boundaries--a revolutionary future that is at once necessary, possible, and sustainable for coming generations."We are inflicting grave damage on Planet Earth, and if we carry on with 'business as usual' we may reach the point of no return--when ecosystems collapse and more and more species become extinct. There is hope if only we can bridge the gap between the clever human brain and the compassionate human heart and act now. Johan Rockstr�m and Mattias Klum lead the way with scientific clarity, powerful storytelling, and inspiring and award-winning photography."--Dr. Jane GoodallWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
