Publisher's Synopsis
As we hurtle towards catastrophic breakdown of the earth's life support systems, social, political and economic leaders and scholars continue to ignore the central role of the environment in their decisions and actions.Naked Ape to Superspecies takes an unflinching look at where we are at this unprecedented moment in history. It reveals that a clear and present environmental danger is staring us in the face - but there is good news. We still have time to avoid this collapse if we slow down and turn onto alternative roads, roads that will lead to a life still rich in opportunity, choice and quality. But to begin applying the brakes and turning aside we must see with clarity the path we're on now, how we got there, and what the other possibilities are.Naked Ape to Superspecies show us that we are at a turning point we can either push ahead on our path to destruction, or we can reshape our place in nature and prosper.
