Paths to a Green World: The Political Economy of the Global Environment
It's a fairly well-written textbook, and an acceptable introductory text to the political economy of the environment (as, I suppose, the title would suggest!). I do prefer textbooks which sound like they're written by real people rather than robots, but on the other hand, the sheer number of unnecessary clauses and conversational devices in this book drove me a bit nuts. Why so many non-defining clauses?!? (And now I know I've been teaching English too long).
I also found the text a little repetitive, despite the fact I read it over a couple of months. Nevertheless, I would recommend this book as a refresher on main ecological viewpoints re the economy.
