See my longer review. The easiest and most sensible book for the general reader.

The manifesto that is being made manifest in World Index of Social and Environmental Responsibility (WISER)

Corporations privatize profit and externalize "true cost" in terms of wasted and consumed resources and generated pollution, toxins, and disease. Only those corporations that go Green will survie.

The major leap forward in economics.

The latest work from a man who has published State of the World for over a decade.

Worthy of integration.

Nothing the EU and US do will matter unless we also get Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Iran, Russia, Venezuela, and Wild Cards like South Africa and Turkey to buy in to our solutions, which must of necessity be more intelligence and moral than those to date.

Helpful as a distillation of the broader literature.

One of a handful of "solutions" books.

Possibly useful, but as you can see from the Earth Intelligence Network approach, an "integrated" approach demands that the ten threats, twelve policies, and eight challengers all be addressed at once, and all policies harmonized.

This could be the most important book on the list because the entire world is moving toward cities. We need to do two things: 1) redesign cities as we either rebuild them or abandon them; and 2) make all rural areas slef-sustaining in energy and agriculure.

I like this concept.

Diversity is fundamental to both sustainability and prosperity of the Earth.

Useful, building on Herman Daly's pioneering work in Ecological Economics.

This impresses me. See also 1491, a book recommended by Paul Hawkins. The indigenous peoples know vastly more than the "modern" people about how to keep the Earth alive and healthy.

Seriously cool book.

Helpful.

Useful additional perspective.

Best psychological treatment.

Important. We simply have no grip on the toxins we are disseminating.
