Alan Weisman's Countdown (Little Brown and Company) is a powerful investigation into the chances for humanity's future, from the author of The World without Us. In this long awaited follow-up, Weisman again shows that he is one of our most provocative journalists — revealing what may be the fastest and most acceptable, practical, and affordable way of returning our planet (and our presence on it) to balance. Countdown is a landmark work: devastating, urgent, and deeply hopeful.
