Ecology for Beginners

This new revised and updated edition of [this classic bestseller] offers a wide range of information to help us understand the subject, from the flood to present-day holes in the sky, from the earthworm to Argibiz and the photobiological reactor, from the vanishing topsoil of the Third World and the starvation diet of much of its population to the conspicuous consumption of the industrialised West and a liberated Eastern Europe anxious to join in. The book presents a fascinating but disquieting portrait of our beleaguered earth and points to the kinds of sustainable alternatives that might save it.
