Earthtalk

Rating:
Summary: Earthtalk- a critical examination of environmentalism.
Review: While its appeal to the general body of the population may be limited, those with a specific interest in the topic- students, environmentalists, etc.- will find Earthtalk a vital resource. The pressing concerns of environmental crises, while increasingly gaining media attention, tend to be "stealth" crises- slowly compounding, but equally destructive, harms too often superseded by the daily events of global politics. Earthtalk's scholarly, insightful essays provide the student of environmentalist philosophy with an excellent grounding on the topic- while the former reviewer, above, may critique its lack of popular appeal, it bears a pressing and a profound appeal to the student, the activist or, like myself, the genuinely interested novice.

Summary: No Stars for This Star
Review: While this book has some valid points, it is a dull dry affair with all the excitement of watching paint dry. Reading it made me jealous of illiterate people. My question is, do the editors REALLY think ANYONE would buy this book for $65? (not counting forcing their students to buy it...) All in all a good example of why i thank god i am no longer in college, and forced to read works like this by professors who enjoy torturing their students. Save your money.
