The Getting of Wisdom (Homo sapientior). 330 $aThe book explores the central question facing humanity today: how can we best survive the ten great existential challenges that are now coming together to confront us? Besides describing these challenges from the latest scientific perspectives, it also outlines and integrates the solutions, both at global and individual level and concludes optimistically. This book brings together in one easy-to-read work the principal issues facing humanity. It is written for the two next generations who will have to deal with the compounding risks they inherit, and which flow from overpopulation, resource pressures and human nature. The author examines ten intersecting areas of activity (mass extinction, resource depletion, WMD, climate change, universal toxicity, food crises, population and urban expansion, pandemic disease, dangerous new technologies and self-delusion) which pose manifest risks to civilization and, potentially, to our species? long-term future. This isn?t a book just about problems. It is also about solutions. Every chapter concludes with clear conclusions and consensus advice on what needs to be done at global level ?but it also empowers individuals with what they can do for themselves to make a difference. Unlike other books, it offers integrated solutions across the areas of greatest risk. It explains why Homo sapiens is no longer an appropriate name for our species, and what should be done about it. 606 $aTwenty-first century$vForecasts 615 0$aTwenty-first century 676 $a303.490905 700 $aCribb$b Julian$0943960 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910440646803321 996 $aSurviving the 21st century$92527908 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02198nam 2200601Ia 450 001 9910791802703321 005 20230324215251.0 010 $a0-674-05917-4 024 7 $a10.4159/9780674059177 035 $a(CKB)2560000000071277 035 $a(OCoLC)705930348 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebrary10448658 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000471163 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12143374 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000471163 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10416359 035 $a(PQKB)10353310 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3300889 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3300889 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10448658 035 $a(DE-B1597)585453 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780674059177 035 $a(OCoLC)1301546759 035 $a(EXLCZ)992560000000071277 100 $a20100111d2010 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aMarriage and slavery in early Islam /$fKecia Ali 210 1$aCambridge, Mass. :$cHarvard University Press,$d2010. 215 $a1 online resource (viii, 262 pages) 300 $aBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph 311 0 $a0-674-05059-2 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $tFrontmatter --$tContents --$tAcknowledgments --$tIntroduction --$t1.
