This is one of those relatively rare books - one that provides plenty of food for thought for a committed environmentalist and sustainability consultant to boot. And the book takes you through plenty of serious arguments in an engaging way. As with any book, there were some highlights - the early revelation of capturing carbon through burying charcoal was a real inspiration, and the section on slow travel was a delight to read. The demolition job on 'traditional' tourism was comprehensive, and the call to arms over ethical banking struck a good tone - why don't people tend to discuss money matters, even with close friends? There were one or two downsides - more careful editing should have eliminated the faintly ridiculous suggestion that ... Read More:

An enjoyable read that confirmed some of my preconceptions about what's good to do and what's not, and changed many others and hopefully habits (but let's not get ahead of ourselves!). It's very gentle in tone; for example, he doesn't say "this is completely bad for the environment", instead he says "this is not at all green!". Some of the advice I would question, for example hints at completely unproven stuff like mobiles killing bees, but I guess that's the whole point. There is no black and white on many environmental issues, nobody is completely in agreement. If you sit around splitting hairs about inconsistencies and hypocrisies then you go round in circles.
Are organic apples from overseas better than local but conventional ones? ... Read More: >>More Details |

This is a handsome book that contains the bare texts which comprise alot of the early situationist output. It presents them in a far superior way to the frequently adolescent Leaving the 20th Century - dividing the images from the articles and reproducing them in hi-quality. People (don't ask me who specifically!) often draw a distinction between the "artistic" and "political" phases of the situationist project - and the work collected in here would relate most closely to the former phase. This is fine by me as this is the stuff I am most interested in - and the opportunity to encounter some of these articles first hand is a boon! There are also some worthwhile secondary essays included - one about "counter-memory" being especially good and another ... Read More:

Megaprojects and Risk: An Anatomy of Ambitionby: Bent Flyvbjerg, Nils Bruzelius, Werner Rothengatter February 13, 2003 Search: environmental issues |
||

Finally, I have found a book that examines the risk profile as a result of misinformation. Though written with mega projects in mind, I’m sure that most of us working in projects can recognize the same problems occurring on minor projects. This book should be mandatory reading for politicians, project managers and other stakeholders on any given project. >>More Details |
