A collection of essays that discuss social, cultural, and technological factors contributing to our environmental predicament.

Midwest Book Review June 2006
"Expertly compiled and co-edited by the team of environmental experts and activists Joseph C. Arcos, Mary F. Argus, and Frederick J. DiCarlo, Voices From The Gathering Storm: The Web Of Ecological-societal Crisis is an evocative and informative collection of important and timely essays pertaining to the often controversial subject of the global environment and its digressively deteriorating state. Knowledgeably covering a spectrum of our most dire environmental predicaments and offering practical suggestions for environmental change and improvement, Voices From The Gathering Storm explores with a remarkable understanding the principle debates and issues surrounding the ecological crisis as perceived from the expertise and vantage points of nineteen well distinguished and articulate contributors. An essential addition to personal and academic library Environmental Studies reading lists and reference collections, Voices From The Gathering Storm is very strongly recommended as a remarkable body of study on the need for proper care of Earth's ever-so fragile global environments and the impact of ecological crises upon human societies around the world."
