How best to address urgent environmental issues

Aptly edited by Dan Chiras (professor at the University of Denver where he teaches a course on sustainable public policy), Voices For The Earth is a compendium of insights and commentaries on how best to address the urgent environmental issues that we are faced with today both as individuals and as a society. After a lengthy and informative introduction, Voices For The Earth offers thirteen compelling essays by experienced, expert environmentalists and which are arranged into three major sections: "Signs of Distress/Signs of Hope: Creating a New Synthesis"; "Restructuring for Sustainability: Community, Economics, and Education"; Blueprint for Sustainability: Learning to Live and Prosper Within Limits". Voices For The Earth is a welcome and timely contribution to our national dialogue over environmental issues, and an essential addition to academic and community library environmental studies collections.
