    Tento autor je známý svou průkopnickou prací v oblasti udržitelného rozvoje. Již v 70. letech 20. století varoval před nebezpečími vyplývajícími z našeho nešetrného zacházení s přírodou, jako je nadměrný rybolov, odlesňování a dezertifikace půdy. Jeho spisy měly zásadní vliv na uvažování o problémech světové populace a zdrojů. Práce tohoto autora vyzývá k hlubokému zamyšlení nad naším vztahem k životnímu prostředí a k přijetí odpovědnosti za ochranu planety pro budoucí generace.

      "How to build a more just world and save the planet....We should all heed Brown's advice."―Bill ClintonIn this updated edition of the landmark Plan B, Lester Brown outlines a survival strategy for our early twenty-first-century civilization. The world faces many environmental trends of disruption and decline, including rising temperatures and spreading water shortage. In addition to these looming threats, we face the peaking of oil, annual population growth of 70 million, a widening global economic divide, and a growing list of failing states. The scale and complexity of issues facing our fast-forward world have no precedentWith Plan A, business as usual, we have neglected these issues overly long. In Plan B 3.0 , Lester R. Brown warns that the only effective response now is a World War II-type mobilization like that in the United States after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

    • Who Will Feed China?

      Wake-up Call for a Small Planet

      In an integrated world economy, China's rising food prices will become the world's rising food prices. China's land scarcity will become everyone's land scarcity. And water scarcity in China will affect the entire world. China's dependence on massive imports, like the collapse of the world's fisheries, will be a wake-up call that we are colliding with the earth's capacity to feed us. It could well lead us to redefine national security away from military preparedness and toward maintaining adequate food supplies.
