About the Book

Chapters: Biosphere 2, Roy Walford, Neemo, Controlled Ecological Life Support System, Biohome, Bios-3, Taber Maccallum, Jane Poynter. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 48. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge.
