Review
"It's a Matter of Survival" is the best piece of extended environmental journalism I've seen to date. Few specialists--the 'experts, '' myself included--would have tried for this much-needed panoramic view. It is an excellent book. -- E. O. Wilson
Suzuki's new book, "It's a Matter of Survival," co-written with Anita Gordon, is quite simply a call to arms in the eco-wars. Their premise: We may have as few as ten years left to ensure the planet's ecological survival. -- Gary Dunford "Toronto Sun"

Synopsis
Looks at the world around us and the ways in which we are polluting the planet. Our explosive population growth, our over-consumption of natural resources, our reckless polluting of the world, have created an unprecedented threat to civilization. Scientists tell us we have just one decade to avert disaster and salvage our children's future, that if we want to avert mass famine, disease and war, we must radically transform society and the ways in which the majority of the population live. This book explains how disaster can be averted and offers the reader options which need to be considered if the planet is to survive.
