The Human Experiment: Two Years and Twenty Minutes Inside Biosphere 2
Description
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. Read more
