Overview

With breathtaking speed our species has undergone fundamental changes that have transformed us into what David Suzuki and Holly Dressel call a superspecies. As we enter the new millennium our impact on the ecological features of this planet will dominate our priorities and actions. Nevertheless, as we hurtle towards catastrophic breakdown of the earth's life support systems, social, political and economic leaders and scholars continue to ignore the central role of the environment in their decisions and actions. Naked Ape to Superspecies takes an unflinching look at where we are at this unprecedented moment in history. It reveals that a clear and present environmental danger is staring us in the face but there is good news. We still have time to avoid this collapse if we slow down and turn onto alternative roads, roads that will lead to a life still rich in opportunity, choice and quality. But to begin applying the brakes and turning aside we must see with clarity the path we're on now, how we got there, and what the other possibilities are. DAVID SUZUKI is an internationally renowned broadcaster and the author of numerous bestselling books including Metamorphosis, Wisdom of the Elders, Earth Time and The Sacred Balance. HOLLY DRESSEL is a journalist and researcher.
