Something New Under The Sun: An Environmental History Of The Twentieth-Century World: An Environmental History of the World in the 20th Century - Brossura
Sinossi
Man's dream of control over nature is on the verge of becoming reality as we reshape ecosystems in accordance with our needs and exploit the earth's mineral resources ever more comprehensively and on an ever greater scale. The extent of man's dominion over his physical environment in this century has reached the stage where we are now directly responsible for the survival of life on the planet. McNeill traces the story of this so far unstoppable progress and considers its full toll as we enter a new century.

The Predator
Da: Book Haven, Wellington, WLG, Nuova Zelanda
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: Good. At top investment bank Bloomfield Weiss, they taught them to be winners, predators, killer deal-makers. On the bank's training programme in New York, Chris and Lenka had become part of a close-knit gang of ambitious trainees, working and playing hard. But when a failed affair sparked a confrontation during a drunken boat-trip, one of the gang died, leaving the rest to cover up the truth of the tragedy. Ten years later a helpless Chris watches Lenka's lifeblood soak into the snow of a Prague street - and his world falls apart. With his friend and business partner dead, Chris not only has to fight to keep his company afloat in the face of nervous investors, but must also discover who is behind Lenka's seemingly random - but coolly professional - murder. Then others are killed, and it looks like Chris could be next. Some tanning. 339 pages. Codice articolo 1574550
