520    "Pick an environmental issue. Maybe air pollution, toxic 
       waste, or deforestation. These all seem like solid choices,
       but none of these is actually an environmental problem--at
       least, not at its heart. Deep down they're economic 
       problems. Nearly all the issues we classify as 
       environmental stem from defects in the DNA of America's 
       current market system. This is emphatically true of our 
       greatest environmental threat: global warming. With a 
       focus on climate change, journalist and author Robert S. 
       Devine reveals the fundamental flaws in the economy that 
       enable environmental degradation. True Value is a book 
       about economics, but it skips the equations and eases 
       through the jargon, opting instead for compelling stories 
       and surprising humor. Readers will encounter high-tech 
       narwhals, struggling coal workers, orbiting giant mirrors,
       the kids who are suing the U.S. government over climate 
       policy, and vanishing Alaskan towns"--|cProvided by
