Global Ecology

"Thirty years has proved this model prophetic; now, in it's newest iteration, we get one last challenge. May we pay more careful attention than in the past! We owe a great debt to the authors, including the late Donella Meadows, for whom this volume will serve as one of many fitting epitaphs."

"In 1972, The Limits to Growth was published as a clarion call to begin changing the way the world worked so we safely made it to 2050-2070. The authors were clear that the path of change needed to begin 'now' so we made a course correction within the next 30 years. Sadly, the message they wrote got badly misunderstood and by 30 years later, scores of critiques to the book claimed the authors warned that the world would run out of oil and other scare resources by 1990 or 2000. It is time for the world to re-read Limits to Growth! The message of 1972 is far more real and relevant in 2004 and we wasted a valuable 30 years of action plans by misreading the message of the first book."
