Product Description
The past 50 years of worldwide population growth and construction has changed the way the world works. Global warming, hurricanes and tornadoes are on the rise along with sea levels. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are on the increase. Many say that this is just a natural cycle of the earth. This is not the case. These so called "natural disasters" are direct results of this never before seen "Super Civilization". We remove and move around the world, incalculable weight in the form of minerals, oil, coal, water and other elements. The "wobble" of the earth, has been increasing parallel to our construction efforts. Mother Earth, a perfectly balanced gyroscope, has to shift her tectonic plates to counteract any imbalances we cause resulting in more earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. This electric motor called earth, encounters the friction of the atmosphere as it revolves exactly once a day. By deforestation, we increase friction and cause this motor to heat up which changes climates. Cities change wind flow across the planets surface and add more heat resulting in more hurricanes and tornadoes. Along with logical and ground breaking explanations of recent disastrous world problems are solutions to ensure an ever advancing civilization.

Comment:
After reading Will Jansen's book, it is clear that we are still in the "Stone Age," as he put it, of construction. This magnificent view on the way we are destroying the earth that we inhabit, not so much by the gaseous pollution that scientists propose, but simply by the way we build our cities, among others, is truly revolutionary, yet so simple that we should be ashamed that we continue to do what we do. Jansen's book will definitely be used as a guide for professionals and conservationists in the field and classroom for generations to come.
