<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>How we can harness cutting-edge biology and manufacturing to fight waste and pollution.</b> <p/>In Nature, there is little chemical waste; nearly every atom is a resource to be utilized by organisms, ensuring that all the available matter remains in a perpetual cycle. By contrast, human systems of energy production and manufacturing are linear; the end product is waste. In <i>Brave Green World, </i> Chris Forman and Claire Asher show what our linear systems can learn from the efficient circularity of ecosystems. They offer an unblinkered yet realistic and positive vision of a future in which we can combine biology and manufacturing to solve our central problems of waste and pollution.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Humans are superb problem-solvers, and the authors make a convincing case that technology will mitigate at least some of the devastation we are inflicting on the Earth... An ingenious, if highly speculative, save-the-planet proposal that emphasizes science over politics. <i><b>- Kirkus Reviews <p/></b></i>Nothing is wasted in natural systems, yet humankind produces ever-increasing levels of waste. Scientists and science communicators Chris Forman and Claire Asher consider the cycles in nature and how our linear system -- production leading to waste -- can learn from the cyclical efficiency of ecosystems. <i><b>- Nature Climate Change</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Chris Forman is a physicist with a PhD in protein engineering, conducting research at Northwestern University into the organization of soft matter using experimental, theoretical, and computational approaches.
