This revised and updated edition of 'Introducing Environmental Politics' offers a wide range of information to help us understand the subject, from the Flood to present-day holes in the sky, from the earthworm to Agribiz and the photobiological reactor, from the vanishing topsoil of the Third World and the starvation diet of much of its population to the conspicuous consumption of the industrialised West, and a liberated Eastern Europe anxious to join in. The book presents a fascinating but disquieting portrait of our beleaguered earth, and points to the kinds of sustainable alternatives that might save it.
