A Big Fix: Radical Solutions for Australia's Environmental Crisis is a 2005 book by Professor Ian Lowe, which argues that the warnings from environmental scientists are urgent and unequivocal. Professor Lowe suggests that resources are being used too quickly, environmental systems are being compromised, and society is being destabilised by the increasing gap between rich and poor. Lowe proposes several radical solutions. He advocates a fundamental change to our personal values and social institutions and provides a vision of a healthier society - one that is more humane, takes an eco-centric approach, adopts longer-term thinking, and respects natural systems.
Ian Lowe, AO, is a respected environmental scientist in Australia. He is professor emeritus of science, technology and society at Griffith University, and the president of the Australian Conservation Foundation.[ Other books by Ian Lowe include Reaction Time and Living in the Hothouse.
