Bankrupt Earth Robert Donato

An unsettling email, from an environmentalist friend, arrives on Robert Donato's computer during the Covid-19 pandemic. Its receipt and Donato's reply set off a discussion chain that shockingly reveals how and why the Earth itself is in danger of going bankrupt. As the picture unfolds, it's clear that there are tough environmental and socioeconomic choices ahead for civilization as we know it. "Rarely has so much wisdom been packed into so few pages. For anyone who wants to understand humanity's relationship with Earth, our irreplaceable home, and to imagine a better future, this remarkable little book is a great place to start."Charles Alexander, Former Science Editor, Time Magazine
