I recently acquired Hervé Kempf's book, "How the Rich Are Destroying the Earth". I would recommend this work to anyone concerned about present galloping planetary degradation. In a reassuring bit of synchronicity, a day after I received Kempf's book, I ran across the following URL which, though in no way related to any sales promotion for the Kempf work, conveys in a way only photographs can that about which Kempf is writing.
The human species is destroying its only home in the Cosmos at an alarming rate, as the photographic imagery here attests.
