In this compilation of David Suzuki's latest thoughts and writings, the
renowned scientist, author, and broadcaster explores the myriad
environmental challenges the world faces and their interconnected
causes. In doing so, Suzuki shows that understanding the causes--and
recognizing that everything in nature, including us, is
interconnected--is crucial to restoring hope for a better future. The
solutions are there, he argues; we just need the will to act together to
bring about change.
Everything Under the Sun delves into such provocative topics as the
difference between human hunters and other predators, the lessons we
must learn from the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan and the
subsequent meltdown of the nuclear reactors, and our dependence on the
sun for all of our food and energy--indeed for our very lives. Suzuki
also considers the many positive steps people are making today.
Underpinning it all is the recognition that we are blessed to live on a
planet that gives us everything we require to live, under a sun that
gives us the energy we need to produce food and transport and modern
conveniences. But we must protect what we have if we want to survive and
prosper.
