A Life on our Planet : My witness statement and my vision for the future By Sir David Attenborough Optimistic in places , but often heart-wrenching , David Attenborough ’ s Life on our Planet is an account of a remarkable life and career as one of the world ’ s most prolific and well-known natural history documentarians , where he also describes how he has witnessed our natural world change and decline .
This first-hand account from a person who has practically been everywhere and seen everything in the world of natural history delivers a dire warning of the inevitability of climate and biodiversity breakdown if we do not act now .
But there is hope ; Attenborough highlights the ways in which we can alter the course we are on , and if we take swift action , we can make things right .
Una vida en nuestro planeta : Mi declaración como testigo y mi visión del futuro Por Sir David Attenborough
Optimista en algunos puntos , pero a menudo desgarrador , La vida en nuestro planeta de David Attenborough es un relato de una vida y una carrera extraordinarias como uno de los documentalistas de historia natural más prolíficos y conocidos del mundo , donde también describe cómo ha sido testigo del cambio y el declive de nuestro mundo natural .
Este relato de primera mano de una persona que prácticamente ha estado en todas partes y lo ha visto todo en el mundo de la historia natural ofrece una advertencia funesta sobre la inevitabilidad del colapso del clima y la biodiversidad si no actuamos ahora .
Pero hay esperanza ; Attenborough subraya las formas en que podemos alterar el rumbo que llevamos y , si actuamos con rapidez , podemos arreglar las cosas .
The exhausted critique of José Manuel Naredo The lucidity with which Naredo dissects the lies around the environment is moving , but it also makes you stupefied and angry at how they manipulate us with bombastic terms that lack real meaning . The “ No-Concept ” show the suffocation of the ecological discourse , which has assumed these semantic traps with an alarming ingenuity to remain entangled in a paralysis that becomes more evident every moment . These rhetorics of emptiness are used — I used them until recently — with a lightness that is as unconscious as it is unfortunate . Words like “ Sustainable Development ”, “ Evil Neo-liberalism ” or “ Tyranny of the Markets ” come out of our mouths as defensive arguments to fight in favor of the environment to disappear into the air turned into pure smoke , something like the rhinoceros of the end from the movie “ James and the Giant Peach ”. it is an essential read . This book is an antidote to the strategies of deception and manipulation offered by José Manuel Naredo , perhaps the most lucid mind in ecological economics .
