Meer over het boek

Natural ecosystems play a crucial role in maintaining biospheric equilibrium, yet their decline by 43% over the past century has contributed significantly to the current global crisis. Ignoring the fundamental laws governing all living things could lead humanity toward ecological catastrophe. This work explores the ecological, demographic, economic, and socio-psychological aspects of the global crisis while outlining the immutable laws that dictate life in the biosphere. The authors, highly qualified in their fields, delve into the causes of humanity's conflict with the environment. V. Danilov-Danilian, an Associate of the Russian Academy of Sciences and former Minister of the Environment, specializes in nature management economics, sustainable development theory, and ecology. K. Losev, a professor at Moscow State University, is the chief researcher and head of a division at VINITI. I. Reyf, a journalist focused on ecology and global development, rounds out the team. Collectively, they have published extensive research on topics such as glaciology, hydrology, environmental studies, global change, and sustainable development, providing a comprehensive understanding of the pressing issues facing our planet.
