The Nile on eBay   Wild Solutions: How Biodiversity Is Money in the Bank, Second Edition by Andrew J. Beattie, Paul R. Ehrlich In this fascinating and abundantly illustrated book, two eminent ecologists explain how the millions of species living on Earth2;some microscopic, some obscure, many threatened2;not only help keep us alive but also hold possibilities for previously unimagined products, medicines, and even industries. In an Afterword written especially for this edition, the authors consider the impact of two revolutions now taking place: the increasing rate at which we are discovering new species because of new technology available to us and the accelerating rate at which we are losing biological diversity. Also reviewed and summarized are many 0;new1; wild solutions, such as innovative approaches to the discovery of pharmaceuticals, the 0;lotus effect,1; the ever-growing importance of bacteria, molecular biomimetics, ecological restoration, and robotics.0;An easy read, generating a momentum of energy and excitement about the potential of the natural world to solve many of the problems that face us.1;2;E. J. Milner-Gulland, &quot;Nature&quot;0;Must-reading for everyone.1;2;Simon A. Levin, author of &quot;Fragile Dominion: Complexity and the Commons&quot;0;An engaging book clearly intended to impress upon a lay audience the practical value of biological diversity. . . .

Science Books & Films" Review Quote Winner of the 2001 National Outdoor Book Award in the Nature and Environment Category " Wild Solutions brilliantly regales the reader with the ingenuity and diversity of Nature, and with humanity's dependence on the fragile 'natural internet.' of our 'little-known planet.' It is a powerful imperative for the preservation of natural capital, so that we may continue to borrow upon it in improving our quality of life, and in maintaining our place on Earth. Must-reading for everyone."--Simon Levin, Princeton University "Wild Solutions reveals a living planet so rich in astonishing detail it reads like fiction.
