Entrepeneur, adventurer and successful businessman Dick Smith turns his attention to the travails of climate change and the need to limit economic and population growth. Whioe the focus is on Australia, the issues are pretty much universal. Written in an easy and conversational style but with a lot of repetition, this modest volume sets out some issues to think about which potentially will have an enormous impact on the planet in the near future. Congratulations Dick - now where are all the show more other captains of industry? show less
