Opis

Despite the optimism of 1992's "Earth Summit" the politics of environmental sustainable development have reached an impasse. Why do issues of environmental protection continue to take a back seat to economic competition, particularly in the international realm? Living With Nature argues that in order to answer this question we must view the debate about environmental sustainability in terms of the basic cultural and political questions underpinning the dynamics of the environmental crisis.

Recenzje

Sometimes, at most once a year, a book is published that shocks you and at the same time brings about a new order in your head. After reading you wonder how you ever could think differently. living with nature is such a book.
