Green Fuse - An Ecological Odyssey

"John Harte is one of the nation's great scientific treasures. The Green Fuse demonstrates his broad understanding of ecology and the scientific method. More important, this work reveals his uncommon gift for translating complex scientific concepts into language that can be understood by all. His keen narrative describes how ecologists are coming to understand global environmental ills throughout the world. And his moving prose about the beauty and wonder of our fragile world allows all of us to understand more fully what is at stake."—Undersecretary for Global Affairs Timothy E. Wirth, Department of State
