A review of Worldwatch's State of the World 2005 edition.
"The 2005 edition of Worldwatchs authoritative State of the World series focuses on the links between environmental and social ills and global security...lets pause and celebrate a small step forward toward a reinvigorated environmental ethic one that focuses not just on the birds and the trees but on the larger systemic issues: the inequalities, injustices, and inefficiencies that lead to ecosystem disruption and the plight of the people both at home and around the world who suffer most when these systems are out of whack."
