Customer Reviews

Excellent selection of articles and essays.

This book has been edited skillfully. It contains highly readable articles and essays, especially on population issues.

Highly recommended work of journalism

As one of those whose writing is included in this anthology, I must say that I feel very proud indeed. My partisanship aside, I speak as a veteran journalist and author: this is a must-read work of journalism--especially for young journalists and general audiences.

Splendid collection on reportage on the human condition

I have always found The Earth Times to be a wonderful newspaper covering such critical issues as population, the environment and sustainable human development. This book now gathers together some of the finest articles that have appeared in the newspaper over the last decade. It is highly recommended reading for diplomats, policymakers, students, teachers--everyone who has a stake in the way we live and how our common future is being shaped.

Excellent choice of reportage and opinion

I have read The Earth Times for almost a decade now--ever since it was started--and have always been impressed by the newspaper's imaginative coverage of global and local environmental issues. Now some of the best reporting has been put into an anthology, and I must say that the advance copy I received was a sheer delight--a book to savor.

Wonderful anthology on environment, population, development

This book is a remarkable collection of writings from The Earth Times, a newspaper focusing on the human environment. Contributors include such well-known names as President Clinton, A. M. Rosenthal, Tom Wicker, Seymour Topping, Soon-Young Yoon, Klaus Schwab (founder and president of the World Economic Forum), Flora Lewis, Frank Vogl, and others. There are also voices from the grassroots, especially in developing countries. "All of Us: Births and a Better Life--Population, Development and Environment in a Globalized World," highlights the central challenges facing our world community: how to ensure environmental security and also promote economic growth. It brings to life the daily drama of development, and underscores that globalization must not leave behind victims in its wake--that we all have a collective responsibility to build a common future. This is must reading for general audiences and specialists alike, and the book should be especially useful to students and teachers.
