Irrefutable evidence makes it clear that we are headed for massive human misery as our planet's health rapidly worsens, yet we fail to respond in a rational, meaningful way. There Is Still Time shows us how we can fix this. We must look at the big picture. This means facing and dealing with the basic cause of most of our problems, ourselves. This book pulls all of the issues we need to deal with together, and looks at how they affect one another. There is, looming ahead of us, a point beyond which there is no return. But There Is Still Time to prevent it. This book will put us firmly on the road to how.
''The premise behind There Is Still Time is the biggest question in human history: Ingenious as our species may be, is it also wise enough to do what it will take to keep our civilization viable, before it's too late? Peter Seidel lays out all that ails the Earth in this make-or-break century, and leaves it to us to decide whether our saga continues, or ends all too soon.''--Alan Weisman, author of Countdown: Our Last, Best Hope for a Future on Earth? and The World Without Us
''There is a lot here that needs to be said.... As a species, we are in deep trouble, and this book helps explain why this is so. Then the question is, what can we do about it?''--Lester Brown, founder of the Worldwatch Institute and the Earth Policy Institute, author of Plan B 4.0
''The author has packed this book with wisdom and insight. It highlights substantial flaws in current institutions, misguided cultural beliefs, and dangerous psychological biases, all of which hold us back from reversing the current trends toward self-destruction.''--Mathis Wackernagel, co-creator of the Ecological Footprint and President of the Global Footprint Network
''There is nothing to fear, not even fear. What we need to fear is complacency and ignorance. Anyone reading this book will no longer suffer from ignorance.--Ervin Laszlo, Founder and President of The Club of Budapest
