Description:Easter Island is considered one of the most isolated places on the planet. There, in the midst of the South Pacific Ocean, on sixty-four square miles of rolling volcanic terrain, forty generations of human beings lived, loved, struggled and left behind a testament in massive stone statuary. In the process, islanders completely deforested a once burgeoning arboreal ecosystem and left behind a legacy of desolation for future generations to ponder. Are today's skyscrapers yesterday's Easter Island stone statues? The answer is in Blue Planet & Beyond. From anthropology to exobiology, Blue Planet & Beyond explores the connection between Easter Island's past and Earth Island's future. From ecological sustainability to colonial starships, this book probes the fundamental choices we must all make -- one way or another... Keywords:Listed in: |
