Sinopsis:

Reseña del editor: The global trends documented in "Vital Signs 2001" - from the rapid increase in the use of wind power to the continued warming of the planet - will play a large role in determining the quality of our lives and our children's lives in this new century. This tenth volume in this series from the Worldwatch Institute shows in graphic form the key trends that often escape the attention of the news media and world leaders, trends that are often ignored by economic experts as they plan for the future. Written by the staff of the award-winning Worldwatch Institute, this book gives readers access to indicators that show social, economic, and environmental progress, or the lack of it. The data have been distilled into "vital signs" from thousands of documents from government, industry, scientific bodies, and international organizations.
