The Human Experiment: Two Years and Twenty Minutes Inside Biosphere 2 First edition
Jane Poynter
It's a story that has never been told ? until now. Imagine being sealed into a closed environment for two years ? cut off from the outside world with only seven other people ? enduring never-ending hunger, severely low levels of oxygen, and extremely difficult relationships. Crew members struggled to survive in Biosphere 2, where they swore nothing would go in or out ? no food or water, not even air ? all in the name of science. For the first time, biospherian Jane Poynter ? who lived and loved in the Biosphere ? is ready to share what really happened in there. She takes readers on a riveting, fast-paced trip through shattered lives, scientific discovery, cults, love, fears of insanity, and inspiring human endurance. The eight biospherians who closed themselves into the Biosphere emerged 730 days later? much wiser, thinner, and having done what many had said was impossible.
