In the 1970s, the Club of Rome launched the book "The Limits to Growth". Essential reading for all those concerned about the future of the planet, the book was translated into 37 languages. Now "The First Global Revolution" reviews global problems 20 years on, offering both a warning and an approach to a possible solution to world problems. Topics covered by this book include the need for the world to convert from a military to a civil economy, the containment of global warming and the recognition of the disastrous short-term effects of exploitation by First World countries of Third World poverty and need.
