Description
Countdown Our Last, Best Hope for a Future on Earth? In a world where the planet's resources are dwindling, Alan Weisman embarks on a global investigation into the most pressing questions facing humanity's future. Drawing on his experience with The World Without Us, Weisman travels to over 20 countries to explore the most critical issues: how many humans can the planet sustain, how robust must the ecosystem be to ensure our survival, and how can we design an economy that allows genuine prosperity without endless growth? Weisman delves into the beliefs, histories, and cultures of various nations and communities to uncover insights into the importance of limiting growth. His report is a landmark work of reporting, offering a devastating, urgent, and ultimately deeply hopeful vision for the future. With a focus on the most pressing questions facing our planet, Countdown Our Last, Best Hope for a Future on Earth? is a thought-provoking exploration of the challenges we face and the possibilities for a sustainable human future.
