From naked ape to superspecies humanity and the global eco-crisis

Summary: "David Suzuki and Holly Dressel show us how human mismanagement threatens the health of our children and the safety of our food supply, throwing into sharp relief the worldwide dynamics of trade, finance, culture and science. With fresh examples and analyses throughout and a completely new introductory chapter, they further explore the alarming rise of globalization and the ever-burgeoning escalation of multinational corporate power, while shedding greater light on the pitfalls and problems of biotechnology." "But this book isn't just a catalogue of how humans are relentlessly damaging the planet's air, soil and water and precipitating biodiversity collapse; it's also a clarion call to action that highlights how individuals everywhere - from anti-globalization protesters to farmers challenging the pervasiveness of industrially manipulated seeds and foods - are trying to alter the perilous course we seem to have set for ourselves."--BOOK JACKET.
