Bringing to light serious world environment issues, this thought-provoking and informative collection of essays and opinion pieces illustrates the topics--from politics and economics to culture and health--that have engaged the Australian community and will continue to do so into its uncertain future. While a sobering reminder of how little progress has been made, this is also an environmental and community wake-up call--through logic rather than fear-mongering--that will inspire people to make a difference.
