'This is a valuable guide for policy makers, lobbyists, researchers and students wishing to stay current on the vast array of organisations and individuals involved in the global environmental movement. In this age of increasing globalisation, the ability to network and lobby effectively is greatly facilitated by the existence of such a comprehensive guide. Congratulations on this important and timely work of reference: MAURICE STRONG Chairman, Earth Council Senior Adviser to the President of the World Bank Secretary-General, UNCHE (Stockholm, 1972) and UNCED (Rio, 1992) 'Environment and conservation have become so important today that a guide such as this, edited by someone with the credibility of Nicholas Polunin, will play a very useful role.' Professor JOSE GOLDEMBERG Rector, University of Silo Paulo Former Minister of Education and of Environment, Brazil 'Environmentalists come in all shapes, sizes and disciplines, and this diversity makes them hard to locate in standard works of reference (in which relatively few are represented). This unique volume fills a major gap and will be an invaluable handbook both for people like myself, working in the field, and others who need to find out about various varieties of 'green people'.' Sir MARTIN W HOLDGATE President, Zoological Society of London Former Director-General, IUCN 'This will be a unique and invaluable aid for any person concerned with environmental action in the international arena. The editor has himself exercised a highly productive leadership there over many years: GILBERT F WHITE Gustavson Distinguished Professor of Geography Emeritus, University of Colorado at Boulder.

The environment, and the movement that grew up to protect it, is under attack—concerted and purposeful. Yet the need for solutions to pressing environmental problems grows more urgent each day. Teresa Heinz Kerry and Senator John Kerry describe how these issues unite people across party and ideological lines. From the San Juan Basin to the Gulf of Mexico to the South Bronx, from mothers on Cape Cod to Colorado ranchers, they found a vibrant coalition of people and communities deploying ingenuity, technology, and sheer will power to save the world they know and love. Now, in this passionate and personal book, Senator John Kerry and Teresa Heinz Kerry shine the spotlight on an inspiring crosssection of these new environmental pioneers. The book combines intensive research with keenly observed personal experiences to present a portrait of Americans devoted to the natural diversity and spectacular uniqueness of our country. It also includes an extensive guide on where and how readers can get involved.

Earth's ecosystems - forests, wetlands, coral reefs, and the like - are among humanity's most precious assets, offering such vital services as climate control and water purification. So why are they being rapidly destroyed? A major reason is that protecting them has been seen as largely a charitable venture, and philanthropy isn't up to the job. Increasing numbers of environmentally minded people are therefore trying to harness a more potent force - self-interest - to preserve our environmental endowment. Theirs is the quest portrayed in The New Economy of Nature. In this timely and provocative book, Gretchen Daily, one of the world's leading ecologists, and Katherine Ellison, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, give us an informative look at a new "new economy" that recognizes the full value of natural systems and the potential profits in protecting them."--BOOK JACKET.

Will humans adapt their ways of life to conserve the natural systems upon which their future and the living world depend? There is no simple answer to the question of whether we as humans can adapt our lifestyles in the pursuit of an environmentally sound world. Inadequate information is a limiting factor, and unforeseen events make uncertainty inevitable. Even so, choices made today can narrow or expand future options. A critical task for society today is to reverse trends that narrow these options, a task in which science plays a vital role. In his thought-provoking book, Dr. Caldwell attempts to address this issue with an integrated analysis of the interrelationships among science, the environmental movement, and public policy. Special emphasis is given to the interactions of environmentalism and science in generating public and international environmental policies.

This book analyzes critical topics that include the importance of conservation and the immediate and long-term threats posed to our air, forests, oceans, and even the soil beneath our feet, which, interestingly, contains in one tablespoon more organisms than all humans on Earth. Readers also learn how people are putting grey water to use (some water that flows down our drains) and how one young man developed a system to clean up half the garbage in the oceans within five years. Also included is an insightful "Myths and Facts" section, along with "10 Great Questions to Ask Your Science Teacher."
