Trade Review"The subject is very important. Industrialized societies... are desperately in need of theoretical and practical frameworks that are sustainable as alternatives to the unsustainability of globalization... [The book] makes a significant contribution to the field of 'green' political science and the literature of bioregionalism." - Robert G. Macdonald, Environmental Studies, York University"
