Features: The Earth is the only planet currently sustaining human life, but human development has always brought endless torment and irreparable destruction to the land that nourishes and nurtures us. Global warming, rising sea levels, population explosion, desertification—all signs indicate that humans are paying the price for their actions. The limits to growth were once a distant future, but today they are widespread. The concept of collapse was once deemed unimaginable, but today it has entered public discourse. This book can be said to show people the consequences of endlessly pursuing growth on a finite planet. This book that shocked the world and sold globally, with new data added over 30 years, once again rings the alarm bell about human destruction of the climate, water quality, fish, forests, and other endangered resources.
