Will Big Business Destroy Our Planet? is an eye-opening exploration into the influence of transnational corporations on global ecological challenges. In this compelling book, author Peter Dauvergne delves into the intricate relationship between massive corporations like Walmart, Coca-Cola, BP, and Toyota, and the escalating environmental crisis. With corporate social responsibility (CSR) often touted as the panacea for sustainability, Dauvergne argues that this faith in big business is misguided. As these mighty entities flourish, their impact on planetary health intensifies, often more detrimental than beneficial. This critical analysis urges readers to reconsider the role of corporate giants in the fight against climate change and emphasizes the necessity of regulating their power to safeguard our future. This book shines a spotlight on the urgency of transforming corporate practices while advocating for real solutions to ensure a sustainable planet for generations to come. Engage in this essential discourse surrounding environmental sustainability, corporate responsibility, and the urgent need for change.

Description:
Walmart. Coca-Cola. BP. Toyota. The world economy runs on the profits of transnational corporations. Politicians need their backing. Non-profit organizations rely on their philanthropy. People look to their brands for meaning. And their power continues to rise. Can these companies, as so many are now hoping, provide the solutions to end the mounting global environmental crisis? Absolutely, the CEOs of big business are telling us: the commitment to corporate social responsibility will ensure it happens voluntarily. Peter Dauvergne challenges this claim, arguing instead that corporations are still doing far more to destroy than protect our planet. Trusting big business to lead sustainability is, he cautions, unwise ” perhaps even catastrophic. Planetary sustainability will require reining in the power of big business, starting now.

For the history buff or student - this is worth the purchase
Format: Hardcover
Detailed, individual maps and history on the battles of World War II. It isn’t too overwhelming for the student and is an enjoyable read for the history buff. Hardback so it will ensure lots of reading and reviews, durable pages too (not those thin, flimsy, easily tearable pages!) - this book will likely stand the test of our schooling years and beyond.

I wish I was an astronaut
Format: Hardcover
Fantastic book. A detailed history of Space Exploration beginning with the history of flight. The descriptions allowed me to visualize how it all began and how it continued to move forward through the years and into the future. The illustrations, concept art, and photography opened up a world of knowledge I did not possess. I really hope I can find more books of this caliper.
