The cave man minds of humanity are destroying the Earth, claims
"Man Against Nature: Why Are We Damaging Our Biosphere?". A
look at how our old instincts, millions of years old, are
self-destructively causing humans to destroy their world. Not just
modern inventions are pointed out as problematic says author and
environmentalist Gordon Chism, even ancient techniques such as herding
and agriculture are pointed out in what makes humans the
world-destroying animals that they are. Even more scarily, "Man
Against Nature: Why Are We Damaging Our Biosphere" acknowledges why
people know there is a problem and why they do so little to stop
ourselves, and on the other hand, "Man Against Nature: Why Are We
Damaging Our Biosphere" offers hope that humanity can stop
it's tendencies and overpower their caveman instincts in this
highly recommended and written for non-specialized general interest
readers treatise. Any Environmental studies shelf needs "Man
Against Nature: Why Are We Damaging Our Biosphere" among it's
collections.
