I've had this book for years, and I know I've read it before - but I picked it up in between novels and sort of got reading.
Unfortunately it's rather dated, but the ideas and information it puts forward are sound.
Written in 'graphic' form the book introduces the history and ideas behind Environmental Politics, who the main thinkers are (although written before Al Gore, George Monbiot and the more recent political green thinkers), and what might be done about some of the issues.
There doesn't seem to be an updated version available, which is a shame as this is a big, fast moving topic, and certainly an 'Introduction' book for the subject is well worth reading for anyone who gets lost in all the politics, compeating ideas and bad science out there.
But, don't turn to this book - 2000 is too long ago for the information to be of real value now.
Bought in Blackwells March 2003 (the receipt was still inside!)
