Author David Peaty sounds the alarm and offers radical advice about problems humanity has been tackling.
Urgent tasks facing humankind—environment, energy, natural resources, food—are discussed in essays that also offer possible solutions, such as “permaculture” and “responsible tourism.”
The author has been writing about global issues for many years, and has returned once again with these satisfying reads of 1,000 to 1,200 words.
Comprehension questions are aimed at training high-level reading ability.
