Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book calls attention to the intimate relationship between the abundance of our natural resources and the prosperity and progress of the United States, while sounding the alarm on the nation's profligate consumption of these precious assets. Criticizing the prevalent belief that scientific innovation will perpetually compensate for the depletion of natural resources, the author posits that only a concerted effort in conservation can prevent the nation's decline. The book's insights expose the erroneous belief that resources are inexhaustible, urging a profound shift in our social philosophy towards one of trusteeship and sustainability.
