TEXT POSSIBILITIES
Lester R. Brown, Tough Choices: Facing the Challenge of Food Security. New York: Norton, 1996, 159pp., $10.95 paper, ISBN 0-393-31573-8
This seventh book in Worldwatch’s Environmental Alert Series explores impending food shortages as demand for food keeps increasing due continuing world population growth and rapid economic growth (especially in East Asia, while natural limits on agriculture and fisheries limit the availability of food.
(following texts were noted previously in the ESS Electronic Newsletter)
Tom Athanasiou, Divided Planet: The Ecology or Rich and Poor. Boston: Little, Brown and Co., 1996, 385pp., $24.95 cloth, ISBN
An engaging, but rather polemical exposé on the complex and multi-faceted ecology crisis that confronts humanity. It provides a hard hitting critique of the foibles of contemporary international efforts to address global environmental problems, which the author contents fail to address their underlying causes. The roots of the ecological crisis are seen the great inequalities between the rich and poor and the continuation of First World strategies of development and the international institutions that promote them, such as the World Bank and the international trading system. Radical social and economic changes are seen as the only way to avert disaster. (undergraduate)
Matthew Paterson, Global Warming and Global Politics. London and New York: Routledge, 1996, 238pp, $18.95; ISBN: 0-415-13872-8.
This book provides a rather detailed narrative of the rise of the climate on the international agenda and the negotiations both prior to and after adoption of the Framework Convention on Climate Change at the Earth Summit in 1992. It then analyzes the development of the climate change range from several perspectives: anarchy and state power, cooperation and institutions, science and politics, and global economy. (Graduate)
John Vogler and Mark F. Imber (eds.) The Environment & International Relations. New York: Routledge, 1996, 236pp., $16.95 paper, ISBN: 0-415-12215-5
A group of ten original articles by prominent British scholars, such as Peter Willetts, Mark Imber, Matthew Patterson, and Sonya Boehmer-Christiansen, who apply various theoretical perspectives used in the field of international relations to environmental issues of the day. Among these perspectives are international political economy, security, neorealism and neoinstitutionalism, social ecology, and gender. Other articles focus on international institutions and processes, such as the United Nations, environmental regimes, the law of the sea, international research enterprises, and the ITTO. (graduate)
J. Donald Hughes, Pan’s Travail: Environmental Problems of the Ancient Greeks and Romans, Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1994, 276pp, $15.95 paper, ISBN: 0-8018-5363-X
A detailed discussion of the impacts of ancient Greek and Roman civilizations on the environment of the Mediterranean basin, with emphasis on deforestation, overgrazing, erosion, depletion of wildlife, the decline of agriculture, the impacts of industrial technology, and the problems of cities. It concludes with an assessment of the environmental degradation as factors in the Greek and Roman civilizations and compares their environmental problems to those of other eras (undergraduate or graduate).
J.E. de Steiguer, Age of Environmentalism. New York: McGraw Hill, 1997, 202pp., ISBN: 0-07-060841-5.
This book traces the evolution of environmental thought by summarizing the theories of such well known figures as Rachel Carson, Kenneth Boulding, Lynn White, Paul Ehrlich, Garrett Hardin, Herman Daly, the MIT Team, and Arne Naess.
Helen Collinson, ed., Green Guerrillas: Environmental Conflicts and Initiatives in Latin America and the Caribbean. Nottingham: England: Russell Press, 1996, 250pp., $19, ISBN: 0-85345-980-0. (Distributed in the Monthly Review Press, 122 West 27th Street, New York, NY 10001)
This is a collection of 25 essays on the response groups of such as indigenous peoples, forest settlers, fishing communities, peasant farmers, flower workers, and shanty town residents in Latin America and the Caribbean, as their environments and ways of life are being impacted by modern, capitalistic forms of economic development.
Ans Kolk, Forests in International Environmental Politics: International Organizations, NGOs, and the Brazilian Amazon, Utrect, the Netherlands, International Books, 1996, 336pp, $29.95 paper. ISBN: 90-5727-002-1 (Distributed in the US through Login Publishers/Inbook, 1-800-243-0138)
Ostensibly this book is about Brazilian responses to threats to the Amazonian rainforest that have drawn international concern. More than half of the book, however, is taken up in substance-rich chapters on the political economy perspective to international environmental politics, forests as a international policy issue, the environmental relevance of the World Bank, and the dynamics of NGO mobilization on rainforests. Thus, it would be a strong candidate for courses on international environmental politics (graduate).

It also includes detailed chapters on international law pertaining to transboundary pollution, hazardous wastes, war and peace, biodiversity, decertification and deforestation, the oceans, atmosphere, Antarctica, and trade agreements. (advanced undergraduate or graduate)

OTHER BOOKS RECEIVED
Stephen C. Lonergan and David B. Brooks, Watershed: The Role of Fresh Water in the Israeili-Palestinian Conflict. Ottawa: International Development Research Center. 1994, $19.50 paper.
This is a carefully written analysis of water as a source of conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. It focuses on three emerging water-related crises: the quanity of water, the quality of water, and the distribution of water. It looks at the task of water management from both the Israeli and Palestinian perspectives as well as international legal principles that may be applied to shared rivers and aquifers. Finally, it explores a variety of approaches to resolving conflicts over water and offers specific recommendations on which seem to be the most promising.
