Missing Something

Hope for consumers in a warm, crowded world

Every hour of every day 8,000 more human beings join the global community. As our numbers and standard of living rise we squeeze ever more resources from nature. Never before has one species been so successful and so effective in changing the world.

Rather than celebrate, so often we are made to feel guilty. We are told that we stand on the environmental cliff about to fall onto the rocks of global warming, pollution and starvation below.

Will we plunge or not? Missing something is a book that helps you decide. It is a light and sometimes amusing view of our vexatious love affair with the environment seen from the disparate trenches of academia, business and a long practical experience of the environment.

Awkward news for greenies and everyone else

Are you concerned about the environment?
Is global warming a worry?
Do you want to know if we can save endangered species?
Do you want to do the right thing?

If you answered yes to any of these questions then it is time to try something new.

To take a fresh look at the challenges of a warm, crowded world. A more considered, objective view that recognises we are here, that we have a footprint and that it is going to get bigger before we soften it and tread more lightly.

What if our environmental challenges were presented as balanced, considered analysis and discussion?

What if the facts were bare and the interpretations clear?

What if the science was aligned to our feelings – to our needs, wants and desires?

Then you could make up your own mind on environmental issues from global warming and biodiversity, to how we will achieve sustainability in our use of natural resources.

Here is how.

Grab your copy of Awkward News for Greenies from Createspace or Amazon
