Review:
"This book is more than a report. It is marvelously illustrated, bringing the world close in offering clear explanations and both despair and hope.
—Buzzworm: The Environmental Journal
"The authors do a superb job of placing today's environmental crisis into historical perspective... There is no lack of prescriptions for positive change here, from organic agriculture, renewable energy sources and recycling to a change in the power structure that would give local communities greater control over resources.
—San Francisco Examiner-Chronicle
