“One of the things that I wanted to find out when I started working on the book—that's always fascinated me—I have great admiration for scientists and what they do. It is not just to find out what we know, but *how we know what we know*. I've always found that particularly fascinating. How do we know—how does anybody know—how much the Earth weighs, or what's going on in the middle of the planet, or how many millions of miles away Jupiter is, or any of that kind of thing? How do people figure that out?”
― Bill Bryson

“I used to think the top environmental problems were biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse, and climate change. But I was wrong. The top environmental problems are selfishness, greed, and apathy. To deal with those issues we need a spiritual and cultural transformation, and we scientists do not know how to do that.”
― Gus Speth
