FA:: Losing Paradise, Threat to Animals & Environ.

Losing Paradise
The Growing Threat to Our Animals, Our Environment and Ourselves
Paul G. Irwin

In a world colored by quick sound bites and media spin, it often seems that
we are making great strides in cleaning up our air and water, preserving the
earth's natural treasures, and protecting our precious wildlife. But looks
can be deceiving. In truth, the last few decades of the twentieth century
saw an unprecedented assault by humans on nature and animals throughout the
world. Thus, instead of moving toward a better world, we are now facing a
tidal wave of ecological challenges that threatens to sweep away whatever
progress we have painfully achieved. In this book, Irwin goes beyond the
headlines to present a compelling and alarming look at what we have done --
and continue to do -- to wildlife, farm animals, to our environment, and to
ourselves. While the book shows us the damage we have done, presenting a
shocking picture of greed and recklessness, it also shows us the simple and
effective steps we can and must take to build a truly humane society and
reclaim our wondrous natural world. Illustrated with B&W photos.
