About This Item
Melbourne: Black Inc., 2005. 1st ed.. Paperback large trade, very good condition, minimal edgewear. 113 pp. Ian Lowe, a pre-eminent Australian scientist and environmentalist, offers far-reaching solutions to Australia's environmental and social crisis. The warnings from scientists are urgent and unequivocal - our civilisation is unwittingly stepping in front of an ecological lorry that is about to flatten us. We are using resources future generations will need, damaging environmental systems and compromising social stability. The author advocates a fundamental change to our values and social institutions and offers a vision of a healthier society - one that is humane, takes an ecocentric approach, adopts long-term thinking, uses our natural resources responsibly, and is informed about the workings of our natural systems. History has shown that humans can change quickly and radically. We are a resilient, resourceful and highly adaptable species. First edition.
