Review : Earthy business

Sustainable development is the solution to the conflict between ecology and
industry. What it is and how to achieve it are the central issues of The
Earthscan Reader in Business and the Environment (Earthscan, £19.95, ISBN
1 85383 301 0) edited by Richard Welford and Richard Starkey. Each chapter
explores a theme such as: how business culture must change, the flawed concept
of growth, what new technologies could achieve or how old ones could improve. A
fine assessment of a vital subject written for those already involved.
