Description
Climate change, energy crises, environmental pressures, population stress, economic instability and inequity: is this a world on the brink of catastrophe? There’s reason to think so. Thomas Homer-Dixon discusses his new book which explains that these ’tectonic stresses’, massive and frightening though they are, are not the end of the story.
