Book
The big picture : reflections on science, humanity, and a quickly changing planet
"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.
