  This international anthology on Green thought provides a thorough introduction to the different approaches environmental visionaries cover in examining our lives as social beings in the natural world.

“The Green Reader is a treasury of the thinking that can spare people from the New World Disorder toward which we are now headed.”
— David R. Brower

“With Ecology at the center, we are thinking about a new economics, new political strategies, a “green” philosophy. Count this good Green Reader as a Green guidebook of classics assembled here with the hope it will help us find the way home.”
— Wes Jackson

“The Green Reader should be required reading for anyone concerned with the current environmental crisis that is affecting us all.”
— Frederic Sutherland

“Green politics is more than nature conservation. It begins with environmental problems but it does not end with them. It seeks the reasons for environmental degradation and finds them in the politics and economics of growth — precisely the politics and economics pursued by virtually every society on the planet.”
— Andrew Dobson

Among the writers represented are Rachel Carson, E.F. Schumacher, Kirkpatrick Sale, Aldous Huxley, Aldo Leopold, Brian Tokar, Vandana Shiva, and Denis Owen.
