Are we going too fast to stop? Is there another way?
In this new collection of essays, David Suzuki points the way to a slower way of life, more in tune with the Earth and its riches.
As we rush towards the end of the millennium, we find ourselves in a time of unprecedented change and growth - in population, in consumerism, in pollution, in information exchange. Are these changes happening too fast? Is it too late to stop and assess?
In 'Earth Time', David Suzuki takes stock and points the way to a better world and a brighter future for our children and grandchildren. He looks unflinchingly at the forces that have driven us to the edge: globalisation, political shortsightedness, greed and wilful blindness. And he looks at the places from which we should take strength and hope: nature, nurturing of the Earth, local initiatives and children.
