HAPPY EARTH DAY… I’m often asked by kids why I’m so passionate about the planet Earth, its resources, its critters, and its 8 billion human inhabitants. The answer is pretty straightforward. Our home – the planet Earth is unique. I mean it’s super unique in our solar system… and maybe […]
A closer look at history shows us that human civilization has very large patterns that are occasionally repeated. Right now, we are living in a pattern that we’ve seen before. In his new book, Fareed Zakaria does an excellent job of adding “context” to this particular revolution (and it – […]
