Reviews

In this fascinating book, Bradshaw and Ehrlich compare the environmental and social factors that have led to the degradation of the environment on the opposite sides of the earth--both countries with an origin in the British Isles, but the US with a much larger biocapacity and about fourteen times as many people. In lively and clear prose, the authors offer many cogent observations on the current plights of their respective countries and offer suggestions about how each could learn from the experiences of the other. Readers of this book will find both pleasure and enlightenment in following the intellectual and emotional journeys of its talented authors and will much practical wisdom in their recommendations and conclusions. --Peter H. Raven, president emeritus, Missouri Botanical Garden
