Product Description
Ecology affects the daily lives of everyone on Earth, from the air we breathe and the food we eat to the technology we use. It is central to our survival and to the preservation of a world worth living in. This new, revised and updated edition of "Ecology for Beginners" offers a wide range of information to help us understand the subject, from the flood to the present-day holes in the sky, from the earthworm to Agribiz and the photobiological reactor, from the vanishing topsoil of the Third World and the starvation diet of much of its population to the conspicuous consumption of the industrialized West. The book presents a disquieting portrait of our beleaguered Earth and points to the kinds of sustainable alternatives that might save it.
