Book Byte: Learning from the Past

by Lester R. Brown

Sep 1, 2007
  • Community and Economic Development
  • Energy and Environment
  • Nonprofits and Philanthropy

  • DESCRIPTION

Our twenty-first century global civilization is not the first to face the prospect of environmentally induced economic decline. The question is how we will respond. We do have one unique asset at our command -- an archeological record that shows us what happened to earlier civilizations that got into environmental trouble and failed to respond.
