Beyond Interdependence: The Meshing of the World's Economy and the Earth's Ecology
"Strikes a good balance between general observations and detailed examples.  Insight is offered into fundamental relationships--responsible for certain environmental problems--which may provide points of application for realistic solutions."--Environmental Politics"Ideally suited as a sophisticated introductory text to a subject matter of pressing importance in the post-Cold War would.  Written with clarity and moral passion, thoroughly researched, sound in judgment.  A clarion call to action without being hysterically alarmist."--John Farrenkopf, Northwestern University"Excellent addition to the new "New World Order" literature.  Well Written, succinct, easily readable.  Focuses on absolutely critical issues."--John W. Outland, University of Richmond"It is an important document which all students of global politics should study and critically assess for both teaching and research purposes."--Dr. A. Shiromas, Hillsdale College"One of the most comprehensive and convincing analyses of the emerging global environmental crisis....The most readable analysis of the subject...The cases that it makes for new forms of international action and institutional reform are insightful and convincing....Highlights the dimensions and import of what will undoubtedly be one of the most crucial issues on he international agenda over coming decades--and probably far beyond.  Because of the importance of the subject and the clarity of the book's insights it should be read by all officials and private citizens concerned with one of the great issues of our day--the management of the global ecology."--Mark W. Zacher, Director, Institute of International Relations, University of British Columbia"A brilliant synthesis of the economic and ecological challenge of the next decades....[The authors] make the most powerful case yet for immediate and abrupt political and economic action to stabilize global climate and bring the world into equilibrium....We can only hope that our political leaders are exposed early to this analysis and that the book will travel as widely and be as influential as it deserves to be and as people of the world require."--G.M. Woodwell, The Woods Hole Research Center"One of the most important books I have read in many years....The authors have an informed basis for their conclusions and recommendations that are impossible to ignore."--Journal of Economic Issues"This small book is a stepping stone between arguably two of the world's most significant environmental events....This book is a primer that builds on the awareness created by the World Commission on Environment and Development. It clearly lays out what must be achieved if the Earth Summit is to succeed....The book is definitely worth buying. It provides a good compilation of material proving the thesis that all nations are economically and ecologically linked. The emphasis of the book is on the policy and institutional reforms needed to address the issues."--Borealis: The Magazine for Canadian Parks and Wilderness"A useful and extremely accessible interpretation of the challenges facing those attending UNCED....The accessibility of the text makes it of particular interest to anyone wishing to know more about the practical implications of emerging environmental issues in the political arena."--Environment and Planning A
