Synopses & Reviews
Recognizing that many undergraduate courses on global environmental ills, though well intentioned, erode students' sense of the possible, this collection of essays (all by teacher-scholars in the field) draws students and teachers of global environmental politics into classroom conversation about the overwhelming nature of global environmental threats, the tenuous and sometimes counterproductive links between knowledge and power, and ways of acting powerfully in the world in service of "sustainability." Contributors: Matthew Auer, William Ayers, Ken Conca, Geoffrey Dabelko, Barbara Welling Hall, Lamont Hempel, Frances Moore Lappe, Michael Maniates, Richard Matthew, Thomas Princen, Nancy Quirk, Karl Steyaert, Peter Taylor, Paul Wapner, and Howard Warshwsky.
