Leslie Thatcher, Truthout, reviews "Flirting with Disaster," a book by Marc Gerstein with Michael Ellsberg: "I consider the book to be as essential as it is troubling: one reading really does suggest that humanity is doomed, given the disasters we are living through - such as the present economic meltdown and the planetary crisis due to greenhouse gas emissions - and the degree to which we are apparently hard-wired to misperceive, to bystand and to choose leaders who are of the go-along-to-get along ilk, but that is certainly not Dr. Gerstein's own outlook."
