Like many of us, Mark Hertsgaard has long worried about the declining health of our environment. But in 1991, he decided to act on his concern and investigate the escalating crisis for himself. Traveling on his own dime, he embarked on an odyssey lasting most of the decade and spanning nineteen countries. Now, in Earth Odyssey, he reports on our environmental predicament through the eyes of the people who live it. From the gilded boardrooms of Paris to the traffic-clogged streets of Bangkok, we travel from the deep human past to our still unfolding future. Much of the story revolves around people like Zhenbing, Hertsgaard's charismatic interpreter in China, whose desire to escape poverty leaves him indifferent to his country's horrific air and water pollution. We also meet Garang, a proud Dinka tribesman whose response to Sudan's famine shows the difficulty of building an environmentally sustainable future without bridging the gap between rich and poor. Drawing on interviews with Václav Havel, Al Gore, Jacques Cousteau, and numerous other prominent figures, Hertsgaard offers fresh insight into such complex issues as humanity's growing addiction to the automobile, the insidious spread of nuclear technology, and the inevitable tension between unfettered capitalism and the health of the biosphere. Earth Odyssey is a vivid, passionate narrative about one man's journey around the world in search of the answer to the most important question of our time: Is the future of the human species at risk? Combining first-rate reportage with irresistible storytelling, Mark Hertsgaard has written an essential--and ultimately hopeful--book about the uncertain fate of humankind.

This book spells out in detail how the age of the Earth has been determined over the centuries. First — the 'biblical' age: how was the date of Creation 4004 BC figured out? A date which is so important even today ... it is the basis of claims made by millions that the Earth is only about 6000 years old. Next — the response of geologists (and Darwin) for a very old Earth. Then, Kelvin's calculation of how long it would take for a hot Earth to cool down to its present state. And finally, today's answer ('billions'), based on the properties of radioactive materials. So, how old is Planet Earth?Related Link(s)

It is 2065, and a year has passed since the people of Earth formally established relations with several extraterrestrial races. Appearances suggest that a new age of peace, economic prosperity, and enlightenment has begun. One group of aliens in particular, the Greys, are an advanced and peaceful race. Human journalist C. A. Wyatt is in the process of writing a book about the Greys’ odyssey from their home world, planet Zeta, to Earth and their crash landing near Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947. Their journey begins with the invasion of Zeta in 1944 by an aggressive alien species called Reptoids, just as the Greys’ spaceship, Zeta’s Hope, is about to be launched on an expedition to the uninhabited planet of Avalonia with fifty colonists—made up of both Greys and their human-like allies from planet Amigo. As crew of the ship voyages to various planets, they face a variety of problems, both internal and external, but eventually they set out to meet the humans of Earth, hoping for form a new alliance. But when those plans go awry, the fates of the Greys and of humanity will change forever. In this science fiction novel, set in 2065, aliens known as Greys recall their journey to Earth in the 1940s through interviews with a human journalist.
