Endangered Mexico: An Environment on the Edge

by Joel Simon

Endangered Mexico: An Environment on the Edge Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In this highly acclaimed book, now available in paperback, Joel Simon vividly describes the environmental crises facing Mexico today, from the smog-choked shantytowns of Mexico City to the decaying coral reefs off the island of Cancun to rural villages impoverished by the overuse of chemical fertilizers that ruined the land. Deftly combining historical research with extensive personal interviews, Simon describes the failed development policies that have caused such environmental destruction and reveals the crucial links between Mexico's environmental pollution and the social anti economic problems that threaten its political stability. Richly detailed and provocatively argued, Endangered Mexico transforms our understanding of the challenges Mexico currently faces.
