Book
The big picture : reflections on science, humanity, and a quickly changing planet / David Suzuki and Dave Robert Taylor.
"Looks beyond our environmental problems to examine the forces that prevent real change from occurring. Whether he's discussing how to reconcile economy with ecology, why a warmer world will result in more poison ivy, or why we might need to start eating jelly-fish for supper, David Suzuki points the direction we must go as a society."--Jacket.
