Publisher's Notes
First Line: "Imagine for a moment a world where cities have become peaceful and serene because cars and buses are whisper quiet, vehicles exhaust only water vapor, and parks and greenways have replaced unneeded urban freeways."
Industry Reviews
"[E]xceedingly useful, a landmark of sorts..."
McKibben
"[This book] is so informative and provocative--and so unfashionably optimistic about the future of the planet--that I wonder why everyone in public life is not reading it and arguing over the implications....NATURAL CAPITALISM poses an intelligent challenge to lazy assumptions on both sides of the political divide and ought to jump-start a reinvigorated environmental debate."
