Concise and accessible, The Middle Path: Avoiding Environmental Catastrophe lays out the current state of research into climate change and considers what must be done if environmental catastrophe is to be avoided. Lambin takes a remarkably balanced approach, free of ideological prejudice, and the result is a surprisingly optimistic take on our prospects. Large-scale systems like the earth’s environment naturally tend toward equilibrium, and Lambin presents a batch of solutions, both global and local, that exploit that tendency. Taken together, they give humanity a real shot at averting this potentially fatal crisis.
