The Pear: A Biography - Paperback

by Dean Smith (Author)

From the author of Modern Tribal Development and Exploring the Details, follow a carbon atom, a water molecule, and a unit of energy through their tale of becoming The Pear, which addresses the issues of human behavior based on three distinguished bodies of knowledge: physics, evolution, and economics.

Employing a whimsical perspective of a molecule's life within the geology, chemistry, and biology of life, The Pear grows thru the season. Surrounding a discussion of Owens Valley's (California) characteristics, the ideas of managing energy and matter are applied to our Human Diaspora across 200,000 years to conquer the planet and current energy management issues surrounding climate change.
