''Whole Earth Discipline: An Ecopragmatist Manifesto'' is the sixth book by Stewart Brand, published by Viking Penguin in 2009. He sees Earth and people propelled by three transformations: climate change (global warming), urbanization and biotechnology.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.skeptic.com/past-lectures/whole-earth-discipline )〕 Brand tackles "touchy issues" like nuclear power, genetic engineering and geoengineering, "fully aware that many of the environmentalist readers he hopes to reach will start out disagreeing with him". ==Overview== Brand said in an interview with ''Seed'' magazine, "...I'd accumulated a set of contrarian views on some important environmental issues—specifically, cities, nuclear energy, genetic engineering, and geoengineering—and that it added up to a story worth telling." The author cites numerous other authors both in the recommended reading section〔Brand 2009, pp. 303–313〕 and in live lectures. In particular, book influences are ''Constant Battles'' by Steven A. LeBlanc with Katherine Register,〔Brand 2009, p. 2〕 ''Shadow Cities: A Billion Squatters, a New Urban World'' by Robert Neuwirth,〔Brand 2009, p. 37〕 and James Lovelock, the author of ''The Revenge of Gaia'' and ''The Vanishing Face of Gaia''.〔Brand 2009, p. 11〕 In an interview with American Public Media, Brand said, "...in (Earth Catalog ) I focused on individual empowerment, and in (Earth Discipline ) the focus is on the aggregate effects of humans on things like climate. And some of these issues are of such scale that you got to have the governments doing things like making carbon expensive. Or making coal expensive to burn and putting all that carbon into the atmosphere. And individuals can't do that, individual communities can't do that. It takes national governments."
