Seven Wonders
Consider your way of life and the effect that you have on the planet, and ask yourself the following question: If everyone on Earth lived like you, what would the impact be on the natural world and its finite resources?

InSeven Wonders,Ryan informs readers of the extraordinary benefits of such familiar things as the bicycle, the ceiling fan, the clothesline, the condom, Thai food, the public library, and the ladybug - and how using them can help solve critical global problems such as air pollution, ozone layer depletion, and toxic pesticide runoff.

From his first conscious awakenings, he slowly and tenderly recounts the great Irish Diaspora and the impact of the war that drives so many to extreme poverty. The Irish education and religious systems are invoked early on and persist in framing the consciousness of Michael and his friend Little Paddy. Together, they grow up with an optimistic view of life, despite a background of squalor and the imponderable...
