The Grand Responsibility of Stewardship

• Broschiertes Buch

Drawing on scholarly and media sources, this book presents a common-sense analysis of environmental science, debunking eco-apocalyptic thinking along the way. Compromised science masquerading as authoritative is revealed as a fundraising and policy-influencing crusade, overshadowing unambiguous problems like environmental racism.
