These are matters which affect us all. Politicians talk about them a great deal, often in fine ringing phrases, but the policies that are implemented usually seem both remote and ineffective. This book offers an alternative, a fresh look at the problems facing the contemporary world, and some new and quite different solutions, based on a clear appreciation of our relationship with the environment, and our mutual interdependence. The result is a stimulating book, that challenges accepted ideas about how the world should be organized, and suggests the possibility of a safe and more satisfying future for us all. Sandy Irvine and Alec Ponton are both active members of the Green Party. 'This is emphatically not just another book about the state of the environment. It is a hard-headed presentation of radical alternatives, based on a fundamental interpretation of the relationship between humankind and planet Earth.' Jonathon Porritt
