Описание: "The supreme reality of our time is . . . the vulnerability of our planet." When President John F. Kennedy sounded that alarm in 1963, the world couldn't anticipate the gravity of his warning. Today, as we confront the challenges of air pollution, climate changes, over-consumption, and dependence on fossil fuels, we look for guidance and inspiration in the words of great thinkers. This timely volume, printed on postconsumer recycled paper, presents some of the most important statements ever made about the world and its future. Hundreds of thought-provoking quotations on every aspect of green culture offer commentary from scientists, activists, writers, and public figures, including Henry David Thoreau, Kahlil Gibran, Mohandas Gandhi, Theodore Roosevelt, Jimmy Carter, Rachel Carson, Al Gore, and Ansel Adams. Organized by subject, their observations cover conservation, ecology, environmentalism, wilderness, global warming, pollution, nature, and more. These subjects demand everyone's attention, for, in the words if the philosopher and media theoretician Marshall McLuhan, "There are no passengers on Spaceship Earth. We are all crew."

Описание: I know only two tunes, said Ulysses S. Grant. One of them is Yankee Doodle and the other isn't. Jimmy Carter observed: Whatever starts in California unfortunately has an inclination to spread. And Warren Harding complained: The White House is a prison. I can't get away from the men who dog my footsteps. I am in jail. This entertaining, handy little book includes over 400 other memorable quotes, expressed by America's chief executives over the past two centuries, among them Chester Arthur's blunt, I may be President of the United States, but my private life is nobody's damn business, Calvin Coolidge's terse The chief business of America is business, Dwight Eisenhower's Farming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil, and you're a thousand miles from a cornfield, and George Herbert Walker Bush's Read my lips, no new taxes. From George Washington to Barack Obama, these presidential declarations will not only provide public speakers and students of American history with a wealth of useful material, they'll also delight general readers.
