Epigraph (Motto/Zitat) |
Die Informationen stammen von der englischen "Wissenswertes"-Seite. Ändern, um den Eintrag der eigenen Sprache anzupassen. If some alien called me up..."Hello, this is Alpha, and we want to know what kind of life you have,"--I'd say, waterbased....Earth organisms figure out how to make do without almost anything else. The single nonnegotiable thing life requires is water. --Christopher McKay, NASA scientist, Omni, July 1992 | |

Die Informationen stammen von der englischen "Wissenswertes"-Seite. Ändern, um den Eintrag der eigenen Sprache anzupassen. I dedicate this to my best friends, Alice Richie Earle and Lewis Reade Earle, whose caring ethic is reflected on every page; to my irreverent, wonderfully tolerant and loving offspring, Elizabeth, Richie, and Gale; to my lifelong hero, Harold J. Humm; and to all who seek to understand and protect the wild ocean. | |

Introduction: Suppose the oceans dried up tomorrow. Why should I care? | |

If we fail, through inability to resolve thorny issues, or by default born of indifference, greed, or lack of knowledge, our kind might well be a passing short-term phenomenon, a mere three or four million-year blip in the ancient and ongoing saga of life on Earth.
