If you want to comprehend the environmental challenges that face the human family, read to the personal, emotionally moving, and scientifically potent words of the men and women whose lives have been devoted to the cause. Powerful and brilliant.

This is a beautiful compilation of the personal stories of many of the most famous and dedicated scientists of our times. It starts with James Lovelock, author of the many books on Gaia- our living, breathing, self-regulating life-support system. His "Healing Gaia" is one of the best dissertations on the cycle-science and proper stewardship of our Earth.

Next, is Dr. Paul Ehrlich, population science and author of such greats as, "The Population Bomb". Then, Peter Raven, head of the Missouri Botanical Garden, Thomas Lovejoy, David Suzuki, Lester Brown- founder of the prestigious "Worldwatch Foundation" with their yearly "State of the World" reports.

Henry Kendall, who worked on crafting the "World Warning to Humanity" and released by the Union of Concerned Scientists in 1992 and signed by over 1,700 world scientists to call attention to the dire state of ecological disrepair that is threatening all life on Earth.

And many, many more whose personal stories are dedicated to the betterment of life on Earth- very inspiring!
