Earth Policy Reader, 1/e PB 01 Edition  (English, Paperback, BROWN)

In this book, The Earth Policy Reader, the author and his colleagues examine the economic costs of growing ecological deficits. In scores of countries, converging ecological deficits are undermining local economies on a scale that has no precedent. India, which has joined China as a member of the one-billion population club, is facing widespread aquifer depletion. However, the book also tracks progress in the development of the eco-economy. Perhaps the most promising trend is the shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. Written in a highly style, this book will be of interest to anybody concerned about the future habitability of the earth.
