Publisher Description

Uncover the Tragic Consequences of Environmental Negligence and the Inspiring Stories of Those Fighting Back


Over the last century, mankind has inflicted irreparable damage upon the environment through the unscrupulous greed of big business and our own willful ignorance. This Borrowed Earth presents the strikingly poignant accounts of infamous environmental disasters: Chernobyl, Bhopal, Exxon Valdez, Three Mile Island, Love Canal, Minamata, and others. Alongside these tragic tales are the extraordinary and inspirational stories of the countless men and women who fought bravely to protect the vulnerable communities and ecosystems at risk.


In this compelling work, Robert Emmet Hernan explores the far-reaching consequences of these ecological catastrophes, illuminating the urgent need for environmental conservation and responsible stewardship of our planet. This Borrowed Earth serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of our world and a clarion call to action for all who wish to preserve it for future generations.
