Index. Nature is known.. Ecology? Balances among humans, plants, animals, water, soil, atmosphere, and energy? Therefore, basics are here. If violated, what happens? What is in store? Man never saw his earth until 1969. But yet to realize, it is fragile. Good man wages a virtual war on bad men as the greatest common good think globally, act locally- tanks, coasts, pesticides, policies, gender and what not pestilence stealeth in darkness! Unseen causes and invisible effects, seen later gene-based diseases-cancers, birth defects and heritable diseases. Why? Science turns sub-local and personal therefore an iota of real education and early literature on nature.
