Editorial Reviews
Review
"This is a very interesting book. On the one hand its range of titles suggests little out of the ordinary. On the other hand its treatment of the subject matter and the very restrained use of language make it an ideal book to use for discussions on these issues. It doesn't try to preach neither does it over-simplify. Even though the text appears to be pitched at an older audience, lower secondary students would find the text accessible. For a good overview on the pros and cons of key current issues this book is hard to beat." TEGNews "University students, and indeed others, are shown how both the decisions that have been made - and the resulting failures and successes - and the choices that must now be faced if crucial problems are to be solved." Mervyn Richardson, International Journal of Environmental Studies --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
