Author Dr. Ian Prattis opens Shattered Earth in the not too distant future with a futuristic analysis of Climate Change and "the inevitable fate provided by the suicide pact engineered by corrupt corporations for most of humanity."From there, the award-winning writer examines destructive environmental trends and practices and explores ways to protect and preserve planet Earth.Dr. Prattis employs a skillful blending of fiction, non-fiction and biographical narratives to effectively convey his message in a thought-provoking, reader-engaging manner.Shattered Earth provides both a big-picture look at our planet's environment in crisis along with a more individualistic-personal perspective, evident in his own experiences shared throughout this book.This is also particularly evident in my own favorite section of Shattered Earth: The enthralling Part Three - Hello Darkness, a superbly written collection of fictional short stories, exploring everything from a broken lover's loss of his self-created nurturing relationship-environment and subsequent encounter with a violent ocean environment, to a loner's strong desire to save his natural environment from being destroyed by big developer bulldozers, to an act of arson, to an old man braving an incredibly harsh environment to save the life of a child - small-picture stories of individuals engaged in environmental interaction.Shattered Earth is a joy to read with an underlying message that we need to treat ourselves, our neighbours and our planet with much more care and concern - if you weren't an environmentalist on starting this book, you will be by the time you finish reading it.
