A Contract with the Earth A Bold Initative ... proof that we could all stand united across traditional political boundaries as we forge the new ground rules for encvironmental survival. by Newt Gingrich & Terry L. Maple 4 CDs - Unabridged - Approx. 4.5 Hours Tantor Audio - May, 2007 ISBN - 10: 1400104629 ISBN - 13: 978-1400104628 Focusing the environmental debate on the principle of common commitment, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and eminent conservationist Terry L. Maple present A Contract with the Earth. They declare a need for bipartisan environmentalism---a new era of environmental stewardship with principles that they believe most Americans will share.
While acknowledging that liberals and conservatives do not see eye to eye on many issues, Gingrich and Maple argue successfully that environmental stewardship is a mainstream value that transcends partisan politics. Their thoughtful approaches to our environmental challenges are based on three main premises: environmental leadership is integral to America's role in the world, technologically savvy environmental entrepreneurs can and should be the cornerstone of environmental solutions, and cooperation and incentives must be dramatically increased to achieve workable and broadly supported environmental solutions.
Gingrich and Maple believe that most people---regardless of how they categorize themselves politically---are weary of the legal and political conflicts that prevent individuals and communities from realizing the benefits of environmental conservation. The foundation of the book---a ten-point contract with the earth---promotes ingenuity over rhetoric as the way forward. Newt Gingrich, a college history professor and prolific author, was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1979 to 1999, serving four years as Speaker of the House starting in 1995. Time magazine’s 1995 Man of the Year, Gingrich is the author of a number of books, including Winning the Future and Rediscovering God in America Terry L. Maple is president and CEO of the Palm Beach Zoo and a professor of conservation and behavior at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Dr. Maple is a former president of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and coeditor of Ethics on the Ark. He was president and CEO of Zoo Atlanta from 1985 to 2003. Retail Price: $ 29.95
