With six billion natives and an onslaught of problems, old Mother Earth has become a strange and agitated place. Save the whales. God's Last Offer sorts through the jumble of rumor, hyperbole, and indolence that colors environmental coverage of today.
Vast fires rage out of control in Brazil, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Mexico.
Floods overrun China, Bangladesh, and the American Midwest. These are not disparate events sent to test human heroism, but are instead interdependent symptoms of a planet in trouble. Ed Ayres identifies the dangerously intertwined megaphenomena that are altering life on Earth and may annihilate it if left unchecked. God's Last Offer goes beyond identifying these four destructive spikes to a public overwhelmed and underinformed. It exposes the sophisticated techniques used by the multi-nationals and other institutions of higher capitalism to perpetuate public indifference.
