The only account written during the original enclosure, Life Under
Glass tells the story of the original crew that lived and worked
inside the Biosphere 2 structure for two years, where they recycled
their air, water, food, and wastes, setting a world record for time
spent in a closed ecological system and gaining valuable insights
for confronting climate change and environmental degradation. In
Life Under Glass, Biosphere 2 crew members, Abigail Alling and Mark
Nelson with co-captain Sally Silverstone present the full account
of their remarkable two year enclosure, written while inside. From
the struggles of growing their own food, to learning how to help
sustain their life-giving atmosphere, the general reader is offered
a rare glimpse into how a group of dedicated researchers managed to
surprise the world and fulfill their dream. In this updated
edition, a new chapter reflects on the legacy of Biosphere 2 and
the state of related scientific progress. Other crews will come and
go, but no one else will face the risks, the uncertainties, and the
challenges that this new breed of explorers did on Biosphere 2's
maiden voyage. Here is the fascinating story of how it all
appeared-living under glass.
