{"product_id":"9780984962051","title":"The Blueprint: Averting Global Collapse, Condensed Version","description":"This is a condensed version of a book with the same title. This version is less technical and sticking to the essentials. \u003cbr\u003eWe are faced with an impending calamity that threatens to bankrupt the planetary ecosystem and with it much of the manmade world. \u003cbr\u003eIn this book, Rirdan submits a plan that truly goes the distance: a highly detailed, planetary-wide blueprint that lays out a new course for our technological and industrial engines. It calls for sweeping adjustments in the way every person thinks and lives. \u003cbr\u003eRirdan takes existing key stressors-from climate change to land degradation to fossil fuel shortages-that are afflicting the planet, and offers solutions that put its survival at the center. \u003cbr\u003e The plan is grounded in over five hundred peer-reviewed articles, communication with scores of other top experts, advanced computations, and simulations. Rirdan offers immediately employable designs that lay down new paths for our economy, technology, industry, and politics. The plan includes renewables that in tandem can provide 24\/7 power for the entire electrical grid; a radically altered economy, based on regenerative management of existing resources; and the use of rotational, intensive grazing of livestock as part of the effort to rewild nature. Furthermore, the book illustrates why a carbon neutral economy is inadequate at this late stage and introduces a practical plan to capture hundreds of billions of tons of carbon from the air over the span of a few decades. \u003cbr\u003eThe author writes clearly and comprehensively, carefully exploring the logistics and infrastructure changes required in moving forward. \u003cbr\u003eThe Blueprint is a call to arms, an argument for remaking the world and reclaiming the future for our children.","brand":"Corinno Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49785310773488,"sku":"9780984962051","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780984962051","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
