| Book review: Life on a Modern Planet: A Manifesto for Progress by Richard D. North | Bowling, A. 1996.
PSCF 48(4):274. CELD ID 13926Abstract North brings twenty years of environmental writing to this book. The book displays two major interests: the debunking of most of the hot button environmental issues in Parts I and II (pp. 2-186) and the rejection of some of the major attitudes and presuppositions of the environmental movement in Part III (pp. 187-309). In all topics, North gives a balanced presentation of scientific and other empirical evidence.
