Reviews
Every now and then, a book appears that bridges solitudes. Environmental Change and Globalization is such a book, bridging the thinking on two dominant processes of our time, globalization (greater economic, political and cultural integration across nations) and global environmental change (such as climate change). The result is a balanced and insightful analysis with some surprising conclusions. * Fikret Berkes, Professor and Canada Research Chair, Natural Resources Institute, University of Manitoba *
