The War and Environment Reader

Description

While many books have examined the broader topic of military conflict, most neglect to focus on damage military violence inflicts on regional–and global–ecosystems. The War and Environment Reader provides a critical analysis of the devastating consequences of war on the environment with perspectives drawn from a wide array of diverse voices and global perspectives. The contributors include scores of writers and activists, many with first-hand field experience of war’s impacts on nature. Authors include: Medea Benjamin, Helen Caldicott, Marjorie Cohn, Daniel Ellsberg, Robert Fisk, Ann Jones, Michael Klare, Winona LaDuke, Jerry Mander, Margaret Mead, Vandana Shiva, David Swanson, Jody Williams and S. Brian Willson.
