<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In a scientific guide to the environment that will deeply embarrass the politically correct environmental activists, ten of the nation's premier environmental scholars explain precisely what is, and what is not, going wrong with the global ecology. Photos & illustrations. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In the 25 years since the first Earth Day in 1970, the environmental movement has spawned a new generation of scientists asking vital questions about the true state and fate of the planet. But, surprisingly, some of their answers -- and even the questions themselves -- contradict the movement's deepest beliefs. Why are reserves of oil, precious metals, and other natural resources more plentiful than ever before? Why has the population growth of the twentieth century brought <i>rising</i> standards of living for nearly all? In <i>The True State of the Planet</i> ten premier scholars shatter the myths of overpopulation, food, global warming, and pesticides, while redirecting environmentalists' concerns to the far more urgent problems of fisheries, fresh water, and third-world pollution -- and the political causes behind them.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Ronald Bailey</b> is producer of the national weekly public television series <i>Think Tank with Ben Wattenberg</i> and author of <i>Eco-Scam: The False Prophets of Ecological Apocalypse.</i>
