Biosphere 2--by the man that built it
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
The book fully describes the efforts that went into the construction of the biosphere, the selection and collection of all the varied plants and animals picked to be a part of Biosphere, including the selection of the first crew that lived inside it for 2 years. Lots of good illustrations show the project at various stages of construction, lots of different shots of the different biomes and the plants and animals in each. Good pics of the crew at work and at play too. See the Biosphere as it was in its original condition.One thing is for sure-the Biospherians had to work hard every day just to survive. Many lessons were learned from this great, multimillion dollar experiment in the Arizona desert.
