The Little Earth Book

A remarkable compilation with around 50 environmental, social and economic themes treated in an informative and lively fashion. These include cod, the ozone layer, water, weapons of war, Rio and Kyoto, economic growth, citizen's income, debt, the WTO, farming, superbugs, terminator seeds, population and patenting life. As it professes, the book is about new attitudes and a change of direction, not a catalogue of doom and gloom. It features good diagrams and useful facts to back up or illustrate its arguments. A vade mecum for a radical appraisal of our prospects.
