A provocative look at a planet in crisis

The earth is now desperately vulnerable; so are we. This collection of original, stimulating mini-essays is about what is going wrong with our planet, and about the greatest challenge of our century: how to save the Earth for all of us.

Now in its fourth edition, The Little Earth Book covers issues as diverse as Water, Weapons of War, Inequality, Free Trade, Organics, Genes. It's new chapters feature:

Climate Change - alarming new findings on the dangers facing the world, and the action required
Understanding Islam - why it is at odds with corporate capitalism.
Civilised Values - why does the USA, committed to democracy and freedom at home, so readily intervene elsewhere?
Ending Tyranny - the American Founders fled tyranny. The tyranny of the US corporations is now under legal assault from one man.
Nanotechnology - manipulating atoms: is success for science good for society?
