Condizione: Very Good. To remake our outmoded notions of economics--and to save the global environ ment--the Worldwatch Institute delivers a comprehensive, persuasive guide t o achieving a sustainable economy based on energy efficiency and reuse, rat her than waste, of resources. Using an analogy to the denial that ran rampa nt on the Titanic, the authors of the Institute's yearly State of the World series stress the urgent need to move away from a fossil-fuel economy in o rder to counteract global warming. ``Renewables'' are the key: Brown and hi s colleagues present tables demonstrating that wind and solar energy will c reate more jobs than coal and oil development will, and argue that the haza rds of nuclear waste and accident obviate the viability of nuclear power. ` `When it comes to solar technologies, today's political leaders, still capt ivated by coal and nuclear power, are akin to the steam engine's 18th-centu ry skeptics.'' The farming of rain forests' natural products (nuts, medicin es, rubber) could be substituted for clear-cutting; farming methods that pr event erosion, such as ``intercropping,'' could help feed a stable populati on (the authors argue that the earth, currently home to 5.4 billion people, cannot sustain more than 8 billion without catastrophic famine and disease ). ``Sustainable progress'' rather than standard economic growth would take into account equity for women, the poor, other species, and future generat ions. Indicators should be adjusted, the authors say, so that for every eco nomic gain that enhances GNP, such as the cutting and selling of trees, a d ebit--the destruction of that resource- -should be factored in.
