Publisher's Synopsis
We once thought our planet was flat, but it was round.We once thought the earth was the center of the solar system, but it was the sun. We once thought that stars were uniformly distant, but galaxies raced away in an expanding universe. Now, the threats of overpopulation, climate change, depletion of resources and growing fanaticism make it imperative we raise our perspective once again to successfully deal with them. But how? By clearing away the impediments. By changing how we view our place in nature, by reforming how we participate in international institutions, and by fixing four clear and present dangers facing the union. It all starts with a "how to" speech by the president.
