Contemporary debates over such central global issues as climate change, biodiversity and food security often come down to facts about resource use. Yet too often the role of natural resources is ignored or masked in partisan verbiage from various sides of the political spectrum. Are We Running Out? addresses this gap with a factually rich, dispassionate analysis that seeks to answer a simple question. What is the current state of professional knowledge about different types of resources? Avoiding the easy answers, Bryan weaves together ideas from a host of disciplines. The result is something unique: a magisterial survey of the global environmental conundrum which humanity has created for itself. No reader can come away from these pages without having gained a richer sense of this conundrum. Nor can they remain unmoved by Bryan's urgent call to action.
