""What about the twenty-first century? Will we finally accept our
responsibilities as guardians of planet Earth, the biological
living trust, for the beneficiaries, the children of today,
tomorrow, and beyond? Or, will it too be a century of lethal,
economic struggle among the polarized positions of the supremely
dysfunctional among us? Are they--once again--to be allowed to
determine the legacy we, as a society, as a nation, bequeath those
who follow us? The choice is ours, the adults of the world. How
shall we choose?""
So writes Chris Maser in this compelling study of three
interactive spheres of the ecosystem: atmosphere (air),
litho-hydrosphere (rock that comprises the restless continents and
the water that surrounds them), and biosphere (all life sandwiched
in between).
Rich in detail and insightful analogies, "Earth in Our Care"
addresses key issues including land-use policies, ecological
restoration, forest management, local living, and sustainability
thinking. Exploring our interconnectedness with the Earth, Maser
examines today's problems and, more importantly, provides solutions
for the future.
