Blue Planet & Beyond: Easter Island, Earth & the Future of Humanity
Easter Island is considered one of the most isolated places on the planet. There, in
the midst of the South Pacific Ocean, on sixty-four square miles of rolling volcanic
terrain, forty generations of human beings lived, loved, struggled and left behind a
testament in massive stone statuary. In the process, islanders completely deforested a once
burgeoning arboreal ecosystem and left behind a legacy of desolation for future generations
to ponder.
Are today's skyscrapers yesterday's Easter Island stone statues?
The answer is in Blue Planet & Beyond.
From anthropology to exobiology, Blue Planet & Beyond explores the connection
between Easter Island's past and Earth Island's future. From ecological sustainability to
colonial starships, this book probes the fundamental choices we must all make -- one way
or another...
