Ever wonder how NASA studies/learns about how to live on the moon? By practicing on Earth in a Biodome. This is a live experiment with humans who agree to live inside a biophere for TWO YEARS!!! Nothing is brought into the environment and it is totally self sustaining. This book is complete with photographs of the scientist, plants,animals that lived there.A truly ecological wonder.
