Garden Planet: The Present Phase Change of The Human Species
ISBN: 9781420823875 / Angielski / Twarda / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ktke's new book brilliantly integrates the best contemporary research into a compelling argument on the inevitable collapse of the consumer empire.

The solution offered is not wedded to "high tech" fantasies that will invite further mindless consumption of scarce resources. The author carefully outlines a new culture based on self-sufficient eco-villages, a concept that is gathering momentum and...
