Beyond the typical surveys of immediate threats, \u003cem\u003eUncommon Sense\u003c\/em\u003e delves instead into the shortcomings of the human mind for dealing with such big-picture, long-term problems as climate change, biodiversity loss, and the overcrowding of Earth by people, products, and pollutants. Only by acknowledging and exploring these shortcomings do we have a chance to correct them and work our way back onto sustainable footing, before it's too late for millions of people, thousands of species, and hundreds of cultures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Steady State Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/19\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781732993310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.33d","brand":"Peter Seidel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38213718343861,"sku":"9781732993310","price":10.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_c0c4a653-0489-4ccc-bbcc-ad3a6c1e5fec.jpg?v=1610442529","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/uncommon-sense-shortcomings-of-the-human-mind-for-handling-big-picture-long-term-challenges-9781732993310","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
