World rescue

Nares Craig, Housmans Bookshop Publications, 52 pages, £1.50

Nares Craig's booklet provides basic data on the environmental problems facing the world. He argues that the struggle against environmental degradation cannot be separated from the struggle against poverty, and that anti-globalisation movements should make common cause with environmental activists.

The pamphlet provides useful facts about threats from water shortages to dirty energy and suggests that we urgently need a "world rescue".
