Description
In this incisive and accessible examination of the past half-century, a renowned geobiologist traces how population growth, intensified agriculture, and soaring energy use have transformed the planet. Moving from the food on our plates to the fuel that powers modern life, the book reveals how rising consumption—despite gains in efficiency—has placed unprecedented pressure on Earth’s resources and deepened global inequities. Rather than offering false technological fixes or succumbing to despair, it presents a clear-eyed call for individuals and nations, especially the world’s largest consumers, to rethink what they use, waste, and share. Grounded in scientific research and written with urgency and clarity, it challenges readers to take practical responsibility for creating a more sustainable future.
