"This book is a much-needed reminder that declining environmental integrity is not--and certainly need not be--an inexorable attribute of economic progress. Throughout the book the author dispels a number of closely related myths, such as that of steadily increasing scarcity of energy resources. Hollander provides a corrective to the simplistic and unbalanced treatment of environmental and natural resource topics one encounters all too often in the media and in public debate."--Joel Darmstadter, Resources for the Future; editor, "Global Development and the Environment: Perspectives on Sustainability
"This work is extremely important and makes a major contribution to the debate and decision-making surrounding efforts to eradicate poverty and protect the environment. In a uniquely balanced manner, Hollander adds tothe general understanding of how poverty and wealth contribute to sustainable management of natural resources."--Per Pinstrup-Andersen, author of "Seeds of Contention: World Hunger and the Global Controversy over GM Crops
"Jack Hollander puts forth two simple hypotheses. The first, explicit, is that environmental sustainability depends on extending prosperity to the developing world. The second, implicit, is that the sustainability of environmentalism depends on transparent and objective science. Both are well defended in Hollander's clear, well researched and timely book."--Richard S. Lindzen, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
