Mann Chats in the Stacks book talk: Earth: A Tenant's Manual, 2012-09-20

In “Earth: A Tenant’s Manual,” distinguished geologist Frank H. T. Rhodes, President Emeritus of Cornell University, provides a sweeping, accessible, and informed guide to the home we all share, showing us how we might best preserve the Earth’s livability for ourselves and future generations. Having published widely on subjects of geology and education, in his newest book, Dr. Rhodes offers a comprehensive look at the structure of the planet, an analysis of how it is being depleted, and a road map for sustainability. In a Chats in the Stacks book talk at Mann Library in September 2012, Dr. Rhodes highlights the main points raised, and discusses how new resources, new priorities and policies, and new knowledge can lead us to a sustainable future.
