Synopsis
The essays collected in World in Motion all address the same issue: The global paradox that modern prosperity has entailed extreme environmental degradation. Gary M. Kroll and Richard H. Robbins present readings covering all principal viewpoints on this matter, from the neoliberal belief that environmental and social problems can be fixed through a growing economy to the critics of globalization who equate growth with environmental degradation. This book asks an important question: Can we simply accelerate growth under the assumption that increased prosperity and new technologies will allow us to reverse environmental damage? Or do we need to transform our modes of living radically to maintain the health of the world around us?

Review
This reader belongs in every environmental studies classroom. It is an essential guide to the big issues, a key to understanding how our species has transformed the planet, and why that transformation may end up making the earth uninhabitable. (Richard Wilk, Indiana University)
This anthology will also be quite useful in a global environmental studies or an American environmental studies course seeking to understand and evaluate the impacts of American economic practices and globalization on the rest of the world. The book has a place outside the classroom as well as an effective primer on the number of crises that need to be challenged and some of the strategies for doing so. Specifically, it is definitely accessible to nonacademic readers. (Journal of World History)
