Worlds Apart presents a cohesive set of essays by leading thinkers on the subject of globalization, offering a thoughtful overview of the major environmental issues related to globalization in a clear, reasoned style. Framed by Gus Speth鈥檚 introduction and conclusion, essays range from Jane Lubchenco鈥檚 discussion of the scientific indicators of global environmental change to Robert Kates鈥 examination of the prospect that our growing global interconnectedness could lead a transition to a more sustainable world to Vandana Shiva鈥檚 impassioned plea for a new 鈥渓iving democracy鈥 that counters the degrading, dehumanizing tendencies of the global economy. Other contributors include Maurice Strong on the Rio Earth Summit and the future course of environmentalism, Jos茅 Goldemberg on energy, Jerry Mander on the inherent destructiveness of the global economic system, Stephan Schmidheiny on the forestry industry, and Daniel Esty and Maria Ivanova on global environmental governance.

Edited by one of the world鈥檚 leading experts on international environmental issues, the book brings together the most respected thinkers and actors on the world stage to offer a compelling set of perspectives and a solid introduction to the social and environmental dimensions of globalization.
