Reviews

There is no doubt that the authors have compiled the most comprehensive IP manual that is available. This work is an excellent resource and a very effective tutorial guide for anyone who may participate in an IP value chain. -Richard F. Wilson, USDA-REE-ARS-NPS-CPPVS provides new insight into why economies have increasingly marginalized many aspects of nature and society. -Ecological Economics, March 2001 The validity of Manno's argument lies in his careful building of the relationship between commoditization and nonsustainable development. An insightful read for scholars as well as general readers. -J. Collins, University of Arkansas, in CHOICE Manno does a solid job of connecting the excesses of the commodity culture to contemporary concerns such as the oppression of women and the survival of indigenous peoples' cultures as economics books go, this one is generally quite accessible. o does a solid job of connecting the excesses of the commodity culture to contemporary concerns such as the oppression of women and the survival of indigenous peoples' cultures as economics books go, this one is generally quite accessible. -Barry Boyer, Dean of the University of Buffalo Law School, in Great Lakes United Promo Copy Boyer, Dean of the University of Buffalo Law School, in Great Lakes United Promo Copy
