Description
|
|
|
|
With hundreds of dramatic color photographs—including double-page, 22 x 12-inch images—and 23 essays from some of the world's most respected scientists, this book offers a detailed explanation of the various ecosystems that support and regulate all natural processes on earth. It also provides cultural context for how these services are vital for our existence and why their futures—and ours—are at risk. The book maps out the state of our global resources and clarifies the choices that lay before us, demonstrating that it is within our grasp to adapt to the conditions we have created and to mitigate our impact on the future, but the window of opportunity is closing.
