Synopsis
"A compelling portrait of the future and vividly relates the big challenges facing the world now."--Jared Diamond, New York Times bestselling author of Collapse and Guns, Germs, and Steel
The world's population is exploding, wild species are vanishing, and our environment is degrading. What kind of world are we leaving for our children and grandchildren? Just who will flourish--and who will fail--in our evolving world? Combining the lessons of geography and history with state-of-the-art model projections and analytical data, Guggenheim fellow Laurence C. Smith predicts how the eight nations of the Arctic Rim (including the United States) will become increasingly powerful while the nations around the equator struggle for survival. Like Bjorn Lomborg's The Skeptical Environmentalist, The World in 2050 is as credible as it is controversial, projecting the looming benefits as well as the problems of climate change."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

Condition: Como nuevo. : En 'El Mundo en 2050', Laurence C. Smith, becario de Guggenheim, combina geografía e historia con proyecciones de modelos de última generación y datos analíticos para predecir cómo las ocho naciones del borde ártico (incluido Estados Unidos) se volverán cada vez más poderosas, mientras que las naciones alrededor del ecuador lucharán por sobrevivir. Este libro, comparable a 'El ecologista escéptico' de Bjorn Lomborg, proyecta tanto los beneficios inminentes como los problemas del cambio climático, ofreciendo una visión provocadora y bien fundamentada del futuro que nos espera. Smith presenta un retrato convincente de los desafíos que enfrenta el mundo actual y ofrece una perspectiva fascinante sobre el futuro de la civilización.
