The little Earth book - JAMES BRUGES

Now in its fourth edition and newly updated, The Little Earth Book contains original and stimulating essays that reveal how desperately vulnerable planet earth is, and how the actions and apathy of mankind may continue to make matters even worse. Topics covered include Issues concerning water and cod fishing, the Kyoto Treaty, and third world debt, through to the international arms trade, farming and the widespread dependency on antibiotics. New chapters include features on topics as diverse as climate change, the growth of Islam and its impact on international relations, the rise of the multi-national corporation and moves towards globalisation, plus commentary on "Full Spectrum Dominance" -the officially stated US policy of dominating the world in military and economic terms. The end result is a fascinating and thought-provoking read.
