| Description: |
Planet in a bottle. Eden revisited. Laboratory under glass. The largest self-sustaining closed ecological system ever made. Biosphere 2 is many things to many people. From its half-acre farm to its coral reef to its emerald rainforest -this unique research facility has proven itself a marvel of human engineering and a testament to the human imagination. But what has this giant glass-and-steel greenhouse been to those most intimately involved with it? What was it really like sealed inside a giant laboratory for twenty-four months? In "Life under glass" crew members Abigail Alling and Mark Nelson with co-captain Sally Silverstone present the full account of those two remarkable years. Other crews will come and go, but no one else will face the risks, the uncertainties, and the challenges that this new breed of explorers did on Biosphere 2's maiden voyage. Here is the fascinating story of how it all appeared -living under glass. |
