Half-Earth : Our Planet's Fight for Life
by Edward O. (Harvard University) Wilson
Description
History is not a prerogative of the human species, Edward O.
Wilson declares in Half-Earth. Demonstrating that we blindly ignore the histories of millions of other species, Wilson warns us that a point of no return is imminent.
Refusing to believe that our extinction is predetermined, Wilson has written Half-Earth as a cri de coeur, proposing that the only solution to our impending “Sixth Extinction†is to increase the area of natural reserves to half the surface of the earth.
Half-Earth is a resounding conclusion to the best-selling trilogy begun by the “splendid†(Financial Times) The Social Conquest of Earth (ISBN 978 0 87140 363 6) and “engaging and highly readable†(Times Higher Education) The Meaning of Human Existence (ISBN 978 0 87140 100 7).
