Cogent and well argued set of essays firmly set in the "Green tradition" but which are argued rationally, instead of emotionally - the emotional tone often a weakness found in many Green texts. A wide and salient set of topics are covered, including the economics of sustainable development, the world population crisis, energy conservation, the urban problem, holistic thinking, the impact of science and technology, and controlling pollution. For anyone interested in social, political and economic life now and in the next century this book is an obvious place to start.
