Betting the Earth: How We Can Still Win the Biggest Gamble of all Time de John Charles Kunich J.D.

Betting the Earth: How We Can Still Win the Biggest Gamble of all Time: Our National Conversation, cartea 4

Autor John Charles Kunich J.D.
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 aug 2010 – vârsta ani
"Betting the Earth explores the uneasy parallels between our contemporary environmental challenges and our national fascination with gambling. How much should we bet on preserving biodiversity? Should we bet more on responding to climate change? where should we place each bet: on federal or state laws, on acquiring public or private preserves, on preventing environmental harms or saving places of special environmental significance? Like it or not, we must make such choices every day, and Betting the Earth helps us to understand how we do so."

Professor John Copeland Nagle, John N. Matthews Chair in Law, University of Notre Dame Law School

Recenzii

 
“Professor John Kunich gives us a simple, plain-English yet highly sophisticated decision matrix for analyzing climate change questions. This book is an easy read and, with so much at stake, it’s a must-read too.  Kunich explains why wagering the earth is unavoidable, but why an all-in bet is unthinkable.”  
 

“We often have to make major decisions based on probabilities and incomplete data. If you care about environmental decision-making, you should read John Kunich.”
 

“I have traveled the world and played in the highest stakes games, or so I thought. Dr. Kunich has shown me that the biggest gamble is all around me and right beneath my feet!”
 

“Despite my serious doubts about the crusade against global warming, I was extremely impressed by this book. We need objectivity, not the hard sell tactics of so many self-appointed experts. Professor Kunich helps readers to draw their own rational, evidence-based conclusions about this vital issue.”
