Planet Earth: The Future
Planet Earth is the most spectacular look at our planet that has ever been broadcast. It has made millions of viewers aware of the breathtaking beauty and variety of life on our planet, and just as importantly how fragile that life can be.
The premise of Planet Earth - The Future is to identify environmental and conservation issues that surround some of the sequences in Planet Earth, and put these issues to leading commentators, including NGO's, politicians and religious leaders James Leape (WWF International), Jeffrey McNeely (World Conservation Union), and the Archbishop of Canterbury to name but a few of the 35 contributors.
We are living in destructive times, and our responsibility for the planet's stewardship is something none of us can afford to ignore. Comprised of transcripts from the series interviews, thoughtfully edited and abbreviated, this compelling and insightful book serves as a timely reminder of what needs to be done and what can be done to keep Planet Earth alive.

The book is taken from the BBC t.v. series. It is a collection of questions on the problems of climate change, biodiversity, wilderness preservation and various problems that face mankind.
The answers are given by environmentalists, biologists, social commentators and natural philosophers; e.g. Sir David Attenborough, Tony Juniper, Dr.James Lovelock, Jonathon Porritt, Clare Short MP, Dr Rowan Williams, Prof Eric Wilson and many more.

Very well organized. The book is divided into specific topics, which are explained simply and yet thoroughly through quotes taken from experts on climate and environment.
