Whole Earth Discipline: An Ecopragmatist Manifesto by Stewart Brand

5.0

I especially enjoyed 'Whole Earth Discipline' because it highlighted just how diverse geography is as a subject. Although primarily focusing on ecological issues and solutions, Brand touched upon a variety of topics meaning there was something for everyone. A chapter I found particularly interesting was the debate over nuclear power. Not knowing much about nuclear power beforehand, I realised when reading this book that my preconceived ideas of nuclear had been extremely one-sided. 'Whole Earth Discipline' has allowed me to gain a new perspective on the matter and consider the argument that nuclear power may have the potential to satisfy energy demands without increasing carbon emissions.

I think this is a book that everyone who lives on the planet should read.
