'The most authoritative guide to the state of the planet.' The Guardian 'The environmentalist's bible' Times Higher Education 'This is the definitive guide to culture and sustainability...If you're involved in transforming our world for the better, it is essential reading!' -Tim Jackson, author of Prosperity Without Growth 'Essential reading' The Good Book Guide 'If we continue to think of ourselves mostly as consumers, it's going to be very hard to bring our environmental troubles under control. But it's also going to be very hard to live the rounded and joyful lives that could be ours. This is a subversive volume in all the best ways!' Bill McKibben, author of Deep Economy and The End of Nature 'Worldwatch has taken on an ambitious agenda in this volume. No generation in history has achieved a cultural transformation as sweeping as the one called for here...it is hard not to be impressed with the book's boldness.' Muhammad Yunus, founder of the Grameen Bank 'This year's State of the World report is a cultural mindbomb exploding with devastating force. I hope it wakes a few people up.'
