Description
Breaking Boundaries: The Science of Our Planet presents a vision of "planetary stewardship" - a rethinking of our relationship with our planet - and plots a new course for our future. The authors reveal the full scale of the planetary emergency we face and how we can stabilise Earth's life support system.
Scientists have identified nine planetary boundaries that keep Earth stable, but beyond these boundaries lurk tipping points. This book demonstrates how societies are reaching positive tipping points that make a transition to a more sustainable future possible.
With expert-authored text in an accessible style, this scientifically-led publication explores the greatest crisis humanity has ever faced, including climate "tipping points" and the impact of human activity on the planet. Stunning infographics and images visualise the problems and solutions to climate change, making it a valuable resource for both adults and those interested in understanding the issue.
