Guide to a Green Planet

This is a remarkable collection featuring the views of 48 authors in eight departments of the University of Essex, and is a tribute to the forward thinking in that university. The pieces are short and to the point, covering the natural world, society and environment, food and land, water, soils, atmosphere and climate change, technologies, energies and wastes, international relations, policies and institutions. As a snapshot, the book fully lives up to its title and can be highly recommended. Readers who want more detail can follow up the references cited.
