The Science of Liberty: Democracy, Reason, and the Laws of Nature
Product Description
In his most important book to date, award-winning author Timothy Ferris—”the best popular science writer in the English language today” (Christian Science Monitor)—makes a passionate case for science as the inspiration behind the rise of liberalism and democracy. Ferris argues that just as the scientific revolution rescued billions from poverty, fear, hunger, and disease, the Enlight-enment values it inspired has swelled the number of persons living in free and democratic societies from less than 1 percent of the world population four centuries ago to more than a third today. Ferris deftly investigates the evolution of these scientific and political revolutions, demonstrating that they are inextricably bound. He shows how science was integral to the American Revolution but misinterpreted in the French Revolution; reflects on the history of liberalism, stressing its widely underestimated and mutually beneficial relationship with science; and surveys … More >> Read more…

How do we play our hand in dealing with global climate change?
Due to uncertainties in projected climate changes and in how systems respond to those changes, adaptation options offer varying degrees of uncertainty,or risk if you will.
No-regret: Actions that make sense or are worthwhile regardless of additional or exacerbated impacts from climate change.
Opportunity: Actions that capitalize on observed or projected climatic changes. The proactive farmer who switches to a more adaptative crop, for example.
“Win-win”: Actions that provide adaptation benefits and meet other social, environmental, or economic objectives.
Low-regret: Measures with relatively low costs for which benefits under climate change scenarios are high, like factoring climate change into public land management policies.
