One Man's Planet: Earth in Today's Political Culture

Alexandria, VA — The American Geological Institute’s (AGI) newest publication, “One Man’s Planet: Earth in Today’s Political Culture” by Stephen M. Testa is now available for the Kindle.

“One Man’s Planet” is a slightly off-centered geologist’s introduction to how politics, pop-culture and the earth sciences mix it up every day. It takes a humorous look at a myriad of issues that grace the news and drive political debates in local councils to large-scale international discourse. “One Man’s Planet” picks apart the rhetoric on all sides of these debates to explain how the science describes the issue. Tackling topics like climate, energy, water, and hazards, Stephen Testa channels Beanie Babies, Mad Max, and Shakespeare to examine the latest scientific understanding of these issues. The author weaves science, personalities, pop culture and politics into a very informative and entertaining tapestry of the planet today and the planet’s tomorrow. Come tour the Earth with Testa as your guide!
