• [amazonify]0231085869::text::::Space­ship Earth[/amazonify] (1966)

  Mix of sus­tain­abil­i­ty and Catholi­cism.

  In the world at large, the mil­lions will be born. The set­tle­ments will grow — in squalor and vio­lence, or in work and hope. The whole world — linked by its com­mu­ni­ca­tions, its air­lines, its hijack­ers and its ter­ror­ists — has real­ly only one choice: to become a place worth liv­ing in or face ‘the way to dusty death.’ And where else do peo­ple live save in their set­tle­ments? So where else is the sal­va­tion to begin?
