Shrinking the Earth: The Rise and Decline of Natural AbundanceThe discovery of the Americas around 1500 AD was an extraordinary watershed in human experience. It gave rise to the modern period of human ecology, a phenomenon global in scope that set in motion profound changes in almost every society on earth. This new period, which saw the depletion of the lands of the New World, proved tragic for some, triumphant for others, and powerfully affecting for all.

The discovery of the Americas around 1500 AD was an extraordinary watershed in human experience. It gave rise to the modern period of human ecology, a phenomenon global in scope that set in motion profound changes in almost every society on earth. This new period, which saw the depletion of the lands of the New World, proved tragic for some, triumphant for others, and powerfully affecting for all. In this work, acclaimed environmental historian Donald Worster takes a global view in his examination of the ways in which complex issues of worldwide abundance and scarcity have shaped American society and behavior over three centuries. Looking at the limits nature imposes on human ambitions, he questions whether America today is in the midst of a shift from a culture of abundance to a culture of limits--and whether American consumption has become reliant on the global South. Worster engages with key political, economic, and environmental thinkers while presenting his own interpretation of the role of capitalism and government in issues of wealth, abundance, and scarcity. Acknowledging the earth's agency throughout human history, Shrinking the Earth offers a compelling explanation of how we have arrived where we are and a hopeful way forward on a planet that is no longer as large as it once was.Binding Type: Paperback

Great for sensitive skin!
Set name: Adult Tube - 3.4oz.
Great product! With sensitive skin this is wonderful without the white cast, grainy feel, and chemicals! Used on my kids and myself during softball days with no burns or rashes!!
We always have a hard time finding good sunscreen that I don’t stress about! This is one I will buy again!
Highly recommend!

The best!! So glad I took a chance and ordered
Set name: Adult Tube - 3.4oz.
This is the best natural sunscreen I have ever used and I am so excited to find one that is tallow-based and has none of the usual offenders. It goes on like a dream, leaves no white cast, and is not greasy or thick. It’s just perfect and I will always order and keep some on hand. Thank you!!

Great sunscreen with clean ingredients
Set name: Adult Tube - 3.4oz.
Really impressed with this sunscreen. It goes on smoothly, feels lightweight, and doesn’t leave a strong white cast like many mineral sunscreens. I like the natural ingredients and it kept my skin protected outdoors. Great quality and worth trying!

Life changing sunscreen
Set name: Adult Tube - 3.4oz.
When revamping all my skincare, AI recommended this for me as someone with rosacea and inflammation. I also can't stand to feel sticky from skin products. Not only does this not get sticky or greasy, my face looks visibly less red almost immediately after putting this on. I absolutely love it. I wear it every single day now on my face specifically. I'm also very prone to breakouts from products and this has been the best sunblock that doesn't make me breakout after wearing it while sweating.
