Habitat of Grace
Carolyn M KingPaperback 2002-06-15
Publisher Description
In 1990, the Worldwatch Institute in Washington estimated that humankind has about forty years to make the transition to 'an environmentally stable society'. If we have not succeeded by then, it concluded, 'environmental deterioration and economic decline are likely to be feeding on each other, pulling us into a downward spiral of social disintegration'. Worldwatch is no millenarian cult, but a sober and careful organization whose annual summaries of world affairs have become the planet's unofficial environmental health reports. Its pronouncements are cautiously worded, influential, and worth attending to, even if the timing is hard to predict.
