Description The modern world is wondrous.
Its factories produce ten thousand cars every hour and ten trillion transistors every second.
We carry supercomputers in our pockets, and nearly a million people are in the air at any time.
In Civilization Critical, Darrin Qualman takes readers on a tour of the wonders of the 21st century.
But the great strength of our modern word is also its great weakness.
Our immense powers to turn resources and nature into products and waste.
