An icon of the environmental movement outlines a provocative approach for reclaiming our planet. According to Stewart Brand, a lifelong environmentalist who sees everything in terms of solvable design problems, three profound transformations are under way on Earth right now. Climate change is real and is pushing us toward managing the planet as a whole. Urbanization - half the world's population now lives in cities, and 80 percent will by midcentury - is altering humanity's land impact and wealth.

Wish I has encountered this sooner

I have admired Brand’s work for years, with my favorite book being How Buildings Learn, but I only just encountered this work, about 15 years after its publication. It has caused me to question my longstanding positions on nuclear energy, GE crops, and geo-engineering, which is a high compliment. I recommend this book to anyone who thinks of themselves as an environmentalist. For me, I’m on to explore more books on the topics mentioned above, since I am no longer on “solid ground” in my beliefs about them.
