This scientifically rigorous and philosophically sophisticated defense of environmentalism is meant to excite, educate, and alarm the reader. There is a widespread scientific and public recognition that the world is facing an environmental crisis of vast proportions. What is the relationship between the growth of human population and industrial activity on one hand and the environmental crisis on the other? If this is not determined and dealt with, Earth's ecology may be expected to collapse.

?In North America, we have the tendency to look at the world from a strictly American point of view. In this book, we see how others view the world. I recommend this book to everyone for study and possible action.?-Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith

5.0 out of 5 stars
Packed with references, scientific studies, and sound logic!,

This review is from: Healing a Wounded World: Economics, Ecology, and Health for a Sustainable Life (Hardcover)
I hate to see "healing" in a book title. I expect to find a new-age, self-help book of the "win friends, influence people" variety. But ignore the title, this is a serious work! It's packed with references, scientific studies, sound logic, economic enlightenment, and quotes. This is the ultimate doom and gloom book (I think I have read them all). I highly recommend it!Jay Hanson
