Biosequestration and Ecological Diversity

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Lucidly and succinctly, Wayne Allan White guides the reader through the scientific complexities of climate change and its environmental impacts. Although with a sense of urgency about the serious ecological threats at hand, his conviction that something can and should be done about these problems animates the work. ... This illuminating work will be accessible to a wide range of readers interested in climate change and the emergent ecological crisis."-Robert J. Antonio, The University of Kansas, Lawrence, USA

"... both a solemn reminder of the trouble we're in and a hopeful treatise on sustainable possibilities that await us when we decide to act. Well-crafted and empirically rich, this superb book gives us an intelligent assessment of the ecological and social conditions that constitute the all too real problem of climate change." -Michael Carolan, Chair, Department of Sociology, Colorado State University, USA, and author of The Real Cost of Cheap Food

"... shines a spotlight on a topic that has not received sufficient attention in the growing literature on global climate change-the extent to which land management practices can reduce concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The picture is a frightening one-the book starts with a concise and informative summary of recent scientific findings which indicate that global warming is not only ubiquitous but accelerating. But the author also provides a way forward by documenting the ways in which greenhouse gases can be removed from the atmosphere through restorative land management practices. ... The author's ability to make a complicated subject accessible to the general reader makes for a great blueprint for combating climate change." -Eric Hanley, University of Kansas, Lawrence, USA

"Wayne's book is an important voice in support of a rising global conscious
