For two years, four men and four women lived and worked inside the structure, recycling their air, water, food, and wastes, and setting a world record for living in an isolated environment. In Life Under Glass crew members, Abigail Alling and Mark Nelson with co-captain Sally Silverstone present the full account of those two remarkable years. From the struggles of growing their own food, to learning how to help sustain their life-giving atmosphere, this is a rare glimpse into how a group of dedicated researchers managed to surprise the world and fulfill their dream. This second edition includes new material reflecting on the history and legacy of Biosphere 2 and the state of related scientific endeavors.
