Earth's Emergency Room: Saving Species as the Planet and Politics Get Hotter

by Lowell E. Baier

Earth’s Emergency Room reflects on the differences between the era of the ESA (the 1960s and 70s) and today.

Today, we know that to be truer than ever, but we have lost our perspective. Only by recapturing the moral authority of the past, and acting as a united people, can w... more
