Description and Table of Contents
Description
A guide to all the main environmental issues, this book spells out how things have gone wrong and what we can do to clean up the mess. The author confronts each of the main environmental and social problems the world is now facing - hunger, poverty, pollution, population explosion, land degradation and the loss of habitats and species. The author often challenges received wisdom, for example in his accounts of consumption, population control, famine and poverty. It gives suggestions for positive action, recommends who to contact, what to read and where to go if you want to do more. Miles Litvinoff is the co-editor of "The Greening of Aid".
