Factfulness
Sustainability by Thomas Unnerstall is a book that is
succinctly summarized in the subtitle: What you should know about ecological
crises and resource consumption. In this book the author offers an x-ray of the
condition of our planet and does so with forensic clarity, illustrating how
energy consumption, exploitation of natural resources, and raw materials
deplete the environment. The author provides essential facts about
sustainability issues of our time, allowing readers a better understanding of
how human enterprise affects the health of the world. While the author examines
some of the urgent climate and environmental issues facing our planet he shows
readers how one-sided the mainstream media has been.
Thomas Unnerstall's book is extensively
researched, balanced, and deftly offers an objective examination of the current
ecological situation. Unlike the hype built around a frustrating, depressing
message of the world moving towards a gloomy future, this book highlights some
of the developments and steps that can make the future even brighter for
humanity. The author writes expertly about the sustainability of the western
economic system and way of life, understanding the world population and other
basic needs, handling raw materials and energy, and ecological hotspots. Factfulness Sustainability is hugely
informative and eye-opening and one of those books that will challenge readers
to form independent opinions on controversial issues like climate change and
global warming. Unnerstall distills the message in language that is popular and
conversational and writes with the simplicity of an expert who knows exactly
what he is talking about.
