Saving Planet Earth
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This is a beautifully presented, fascinating read and so well written. It took me from the birth of life, inside glaciers, to distant oceans, forests, newly discovered biospheres, new species, what a great place. This man loves planet earth and I loved the book. As I read facts about the delicate balance between human activity, (good, bad and indifferent), and the enviroment with its flora and fauna, its atmosphere, its liquids, gases and sunlight, I sat there astounded why had I not been informed of these things before? I kept wanting to quote bits to whoever was sitting beside me. It's that kind of book. I realised as I read, one of the most important steps towards change is that we are all fully informed. This book has all the facts, it is practical not evangelical. For want of a bird scarer on long line fishing boats, 400,000 albatrosses and giant pectrels are painfully killed each year. Some suggestions for change are so simple you can't understand why they're not being implemented already. It's just about caring. This book gives us the knowledge to make the right choices as the author says "we can live very well while saving the planet". It's a brilliant book, it makes such good sense, read it!
