Upcoming
Books
The following books are under contract and are in preparation:
Green Planet, to be published by Rutgers University
Press February 28, 2009. This book explains, with factual passion, how
plants keep the Earth alive: they produce all the oxygen in the air,
regulate the greenhouse effect by removing carbon dioxide from the air,
create cool shade, allow water to penetrate the soil, prevent floods
and mudslides and soil erosion, produce all the food in the world,
create soil, create natural habitats and restore them after natural
disasters, and have influenced the course of human history. Stan
explains why we need to protect not just plants in general, but as many
species of plants as possible.
