He clarifies a point on preserving the dynamic  stability of minerals and life on Earth. 4) Shohei Yonemoto, a well-known  political scientist focusing on sustainability, explains environmental politics  and why the IPCC and UNFCCC framework were established based on precaution  principles. He puts forward a new concept called futurology, which considers  population and food problems from a Malthusian standpoint and incorporates them  into issues such as climate change and natural disasters. This book is written  and based on a very simple but concrete idea and provides the readers with a  chance to consider the shape of future Earth.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-07-18\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319405896\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-40590-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 115\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45587145195660,"sku":"9783319405896","price":53.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319405896_9041aa54-1e21-4771-a6eb-5def4caed49e.jpg?v=1775821140","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319405896","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
