Earth is teeming with animal and vegetal biodiversity. The planet's capacity to healthily feed its inhabitants is bar none. Our nest-egg's resources are incomparable. But, have we sabotaged our environment beyond the point of no return? Earth supplies us with every breath of air, freely. Water to quench our thirst. The sun for warmth. Seasons for plenteous harvests. Its landscapes for living and leisure. Its beauty for our serenity. Then, along comes humankind, greedy, leeching, pillaging, unscrupulous, slowly asphyxiating our very life-giver. We're draining it like a blood-sucking vampire taking the life out of its victim. Humanity sets up organizations, treaties, alliances, conferences for leaders and scientists. We aspire to peace and prosperity, playing the fiddle while Rome burns. We apply band-aids to what needs open-heart surgery. The survival of our planet and, consequently, our way of life is at stake. The doomsday clock is at 100 seconds to midnight. Will we pull off the rescue, and save our planet in one minute and forty seconds? Kristin, referring to The Explanation series, said, "one of a series of books that sets the stage for the secret to life." Be the eye-witness to the disturbing, destructive tendency of human nature and its counterpart, the uplifting, innovative solutions. Decide for yourself. Is the glass of peace and prosperity getting fuller or emptier? Buy Audit of the Universe, embark on the tour that leads to the secret of life.

Humans use 50 percent of the world's freshwater supply and consume 42 percent of its plant growth. We are liquidating animals and plants one hundred times faster than the natural rate of extinction. Such numbers should make it clear that our impact on the planet has been, and continues to be, extreme and detrimental. Yet even after decades of awareness of our environmental peril, there remains passionate disagreement over what the problems are and how they should be remedied. Much of the impasse stems from the fact that the problems are difficult to quantify. How do we assess the impact of habitat loss on various species, when we haven't even counted them all? And just what factors go into that 42 percent of biomass we are hungrily consuming? It is only through an understanding of the numbers that we will be able to break that impasse and come to agreement on which environmental issues are most critical and how they might best be addressed. Working on the front lines of conservation biology, Stuart Pimm is one of the pioneers whose work has put the "science" in environmental science. In this book, he appoints himself "investment banker of the global, biological accounts," checking the environmental statistics gathered by tireless scientists in work that is always painstaking and often heartbreaking. With wit, passion, and candor, he reveals the importance of understanding where these numbers come from and what they mean. To do so, he takes the reader on a globe-circling tour of our beautiful, but weary, planet from the volcanic mountains and rainforests of Hawai'i to the boreal forests of Siberia. At times, the view looks rather grim. Yet Pimm, ever the optimist, presents a world filled with mysterious beauty, the infinite variety of nature, and an urgent hope that through an understanding of our planet's environmental past and present, we will be inspired to save it from future extinction.

Take a globe-circling tour of our endangered planet with conservation biologist Stuart Pimmwho is taking stock and keeping score. We use 50 percent of the world's freshwater supply. We consume 42 percent of the world's plant growth. We are liquidating animals and plants 100 times faster than the natural rate of extinction. Such numbers should make it clear that the human impact on our planet has been, and continues to be, extreme and detrimental. Yet even after decades of awareness of our environmental peril, there remains passionate disagreement over what the problems are and how they should be remedied. Much of the impasse stems from the fact that the problems are difficult to quantify. How do we assess the impact of habitat loss on various species, when we haven't even counted them all? And just what factors go into that 42 percent of biomass we are hungrily consuming? It is only through an understanding of the numbers that we will be able to break that impasse and come to agreement. Working on the front lines of conservation biology, Stuart Pimm is one of the pioneers whose work has put the "science" in environmental science. In this book, he appoints himself "investment banker of the global, biological accounts," checking the numbers gathered by tireless scientists in work that is always painstaking and often heartbreaking. Pimm explains the numerical results in lucid prose. With wit, passion, and candor, he reveals the importance of understanding where those numbers come from and what they mean. To do so, he takes the reader on a globe-circling tour of our beautiful, but weary, planet. With Pimm as our indomitable guide, we travel from the volcanic mountains and rainforests of Hawaii to the boreal forests of Siberia. We see a blue whale off the Pacific coast of Mexico, where the blue oceans are slowly turning to barren deserts. We go birdwatching high up in the leafy canopy of the Amazon, from which we can see the hundreds of smoke plumes busily working at deforestation. At times, the view looks rather grim. But Pimm is no Cassandra; he never preaches or scolds. Ever optimistic, this book presents a world filled with mysterious beauty, the infinite variety of nature, and an urgent hope that through an understanding of our planet's environmental past and present, we will be inspired to save it from future extinction. "[T]his book is unashamedly optimistic. It is a celebration of our spectacular and fascinating world. I have made no attempt to restrain my joy as I encounter its natural history and its peoples. By the time you read the Epilogue you will know that our world is not doomed, it is not fatally wounded, but neither is it healthy. It needs attention. . . ." Stuart Pimm, from the Prologue

As well as being an integral part of compliance and regulatory requirements, audits are essential for assessing the success of processes, products, and systems-whether existing or newly implemented. They are also a vital tool for verifying objective evidence of processes and providing evidence for the reduction and elimination of any problem areas. To ensure maximum benefit for an organization, quality auditing should highlight examples of good practice, rather than simply identifying non-conformance, process issues, and corrective actions. This will allow other departments to share information and adjust their working practices, delivering continuous improvement as a result. This book is perfect for anyone charged with implementing a quality audit program or those performing the audit, this book is an ideal reference on the established techniques of quality auditing. This third edition serves as a guide to learning and applying the basics of quality auditing, and expands on the basic auditing principles by showing how the quality audit can be used to improve business performance. This new edition includes: - An expanded background and history of quality auditing - A general model for auditing any quality management system - Added information on process audits and the system-process-product relationship - Auditor competencies and qualifications - An explanation of audit reports and the role of the auditor after the report - New material on remedial and corrective action - Example audit procedures and a glossary of auditing terms
