Vital Signs Volume 22 : The Trends That Are Shaping Our Future Paperback / softback
by The Worldwatch Institute
Paperback / softback
Description
What we make and buy is a major indicator of society's collective priorities.
Among twenty-four key trends, Vital Signs Volume 22 explores significant global patterns in production and consumption.
The result is a fascinating snapshot of how we invest our resources and the implications for the world's well-being.
The book examines developments in six main areas: energy, environment and climate, transportation, food and agriculture, global economy and resources, and population and society.
Readers will learn how aquaculture is making gains on wild fish catches, where high speed rail is accelerating, why plastic production is on the rise, who is escaping chronic hunger, and who is still suffering.
Researchers at the Worldwatch Institute not only provide the most up-to-date statistics, but put them in context.
The analysis in Vital Signs teaches us both about our current priorities and how they could be shaped to create a better future.
