Why aren't we doing more to save ourselves? Madness on the Brink of Eco-Apocalypse casts a penetrating light on the gravest environmental threats to our survival through the perspective of a deeply informed and passionate eco-worrior. Award-winning author Cheryl Leutjen draws from her experience as a geologist, environmental law attorney, and worried mom to expose the mad-ness of the human-caused destruction of Earth's life support systems. Leutjen's narrative is rich in scientific and factual evidence and masterfully woven with engaging anecdotes and sharp, laugh-out-loud humor, making even the most daunting issues resonate deeply with the reader. She doesn't just describe all the problems-she urges us to band together to challenge the entrenched systems that keep us trapped in a deadly web of plastics, toxic chemicals, and fossil fuels. An essential and entertaining read for anyone concerned about our future. "We've already hit the iceberg . . . Leutjen dares us to be awake and alert as we face this disaster, to understand our part in our global demise. Not for the faint of heart." Davina Kotulski, Ph.D.
