In Crisis of Control, Peter Scott lays out the stark choices and consequences facing us in clear, provocative, and sometimes humorous language. This book is for those with the courage to face unpleasant facts head-on: the stakes could not be higher. Yet there is hope, and Scott shows a path that might lead us through the crucible to a future of limitless promise.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"... lively writing and clear presentation of these important topics.
