About this content
For thousands of years, we humans have been struggling against nature. Under a White Sky (2021) explores the problems that come about when we win that fight – and how scientists, engineers, and others are trying to fix them. From the quaint to the grandiose, from the quirky to the terrifying, it’s our responsibility to explore all available remedies for the deep damage we’ve wrought.
