Description: A finalist in the Indie Excellence 2007 Book Awards, Take Back the Earth may be Swiatek's most important book. Wise men have stated that the earth does not belong to us. Yet, governments and corporations have acted as though there were no end to the resources of the land or in the oceans. Over the last half century, our planet has been besieged by the disasters of Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, Bhopal, Love Canal, the Exxon Valdez, Katrina and the list seems to never end. Unless we take action now, we'll have no place to live. Fortunately, we have the ingenuity to come up with solutions and Take Back the Earth.
