You Are Here takes us to the hidden front lines of the war over natural resources and reveals how each of us can improve our planet without leaving home. A passionate and heartfelt call to care."" -- ""Bruce Feiler, author of Walking the Bible"" ""Kostigen takes readers on a whirlwind worldwide tour to expose the havoc being wreaked on the earth."" -- ""Cond� Nast Traveler"" ""Kostigen's quest for global perspective sees him scale every vantage point short of the moon and the results are jaw-dropping. Borneo, Alaska, Israel, China, India, and the Amazon--You Are Here has it all. This is a book of global significance."" -- ""Bradley Trevor Greive, author of The Blue Day Book"" ""Thomas Kostigen pulls no punches in this gut-wrenching book."" -- ""Maude Barlow, cofounder of the Blue Planet Project"""
