As these chapters show in detail it may perpetuate precisely the dangers that we need to confront. Unless, that is, much more attention is paid to who precisely is deciding what kind of future we need to secure for which parts of humanity in a very unequal world. This book is a 'must read' for anyone concerned to secure ecological futures for more than just the rich and powerful few in the global system. -- Simon Dalby, Balsillie School of International Affairs Author InformationNick Buxton is Communications Manager for TNI.
