From the Back Cover

'One Earth, One Future explains, in very clear and understandable terms, the complex web of processes that compose and threaten our planet's environmental systems. This book makes it indelibly apparent that humanity is altering the natural balance that has governed the planet's natural environment. Indeed, we are now a powerful force of change in the natural world.'
