Inhalt:
Daniel Callahan examines global problems—obesity, anthropogenic climate change, wasting illnesses, ecological degradation, and global famine—and shines a light on the institutions, practices, and actors that block major change. Only through well-crafted political, regulatory, industrial, and cultural counterstrategies can we change enough minds to check these threats. Big thinking on issues that are usually evaluated separately, this book is sure to scramble partisan divides and provoke unusual, heated debate.
