"Have we reached the limits of this planet's ability to provide for us? If so, what can we do about it?" "These questions are addressed in The Earth Around Us, a collection of thirty-one essays by a diverse array of today's foremost scientist-writers. The contributors explore Earth's history and processes - especially in relation to today's environmental issues - and show how we, as members of a global community, can help maintain a livable planet."--BOOK JACKET.
