In 1972, three scientists from MIT created a computer model that analyzed global resource consumption and production. Their results shocked the world and created stirring conversation about global 'overshoot, ' or resource use beyond the carrying capacity of the planet. Now, preeminent environmental scientists Donnella Meadows, Jorgen Randers, and Dennis Meadows have teamed up again to update and expand their original findings in "The Limits to Growth: The 30 Year Global Update."Meadows, Randers, and Meadows are international environmental leaders recognized for their groundbreaking research into early signs of wear on the planet. Citing climate change as the most tangible example of our current overshoot, the scientists now provide us with an updated scenario and a plan to reduce our needs to meet the carrying capacity of the planet.Over the past three decades, population growth and global warming have forged on with a striking semblance to the scenarios laid out by the World3 computer model in the original "Limits to Growth." While Meadows, Randers, and Meadows do not make a practice of predicting future environmental degradation, they offer an analysis of present and future trends in resource use, and assess a variety of possible outcomes.In many ways, the message contained in "Limits to Growth: The 30-Year Update" is a warning. Overshoot cannot be sustained without collapse. But, as the authors are careful to point out, there is reason to believe that humanity can still reverse some of its damage to Earth if it takes appropriate measures to reduce inefficiency and waste.Written in refreshingly accessible prose, "Limits to Growth: The 30-Year Update" is a long anticipated revival of some of the original voices in the growing chorus of sustainability. "Limits to Growth: The 30 Year Update" is a work of stunning intelligence that will expose for humanity the hazy but critical line between human growth and human development.

评分这本书是4年前看的,当时我还是一个唯理主义者,崇尚理性控制,不满意自发形成的秩序,而且这本书又有着一种悲天怜人的环保主义在里面,所以很容易就接受了书中的结论。 本书的批判对象是市场经济,通过一堆令人目眩的公式推理,得出了资源即将耗尽的结论,建议采取的措施就是...
评分以工程思维来理解人类社会,这是从上个世纪就开始宏大工程,虽然最初的成就不那么令人满意,还有点耸人听闻的感觉,但是随着各学科理论以及现实技术的发展,这项技术逐渐有了成体系的手段和方法。 实际上这正是严肃的数学家和物理学家开始步入我们社会舆论的一种主要方式,他们...
