Review:

In this magnificent book on the progress toward a sustainable society, the Worldwatch Institute's research team argues that past successes prove that humanity is capable of redirecting itself in positive ways. They give a new and encouraging view to the state of the world; we are on the verge of similar successes that could lead to a sustainable human civilization. According to the book our challenges are still immense.

This book contains the most comprehensive, up-to-date and accessible summaries on the state of the global environment. It is an impressive catalogue of information and analyses!
