　　Lester Brown’s World on the Edge sounds an environmental alarm that extends far beyond polar bear count estimates and mildly disturbing temperature warnings.

However, Brown is no grim alarmist: This United National Environment Prize winner writes convincingly about measures that we need to take to avoid calamities that could affect almost every American household.
