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.
Part One looks at us as individuals, how we work together as a society, and at the way our governments and businesses operate, and suggests things we can do to change direction.
Part Two gives a concise but comprehensive overview of the state of our planet today. 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.”
“Seidel’s blend of pessimism and idealism brings intellectual heft to this unconventional approach so that we might ‘move beyond our current stalemate and make real progress towards sustainability.’ . . . An astute look at the many negative influences currently shaping our world, along with ideas to overcome them.”
“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?”
