Synopsis
This is an examination of the factors that have shaped the history of ecological thought, from the Genesis myth through to the present day. It challenges basic assumptions of the Western world-view, exposing the flaws in a political and economic system that believes in unlimited economic growth.

Review
His accessible style means that Spowers is sure to reach a wide audience, and if Rising Tides cannot call the environmental waverers to action, nothing will. The comprehensive references make it an excellent resource. . . A manifesto for change, Rising Tides ought to be required reading or our politicians. * * Geographical Magazine * * Spowers is, I believe, on the side of the angels. His blueprint for the future at least demonstrates an attempt to offers solutions rather than just to damn the problems and problem makers. * * Sunday Times * * The book does present a concise and well-written history of the environmental movement, as well as a vivid and inspiring survey of where we are now. Spowers is not just 'a writer', he a very good writer, with a clear, compelling style and a passion to match and there is no doubt that what we need now, more than dubious 'qualifications' from the industry-sponsored houses of learning, is the kind of passion and vision that someone of Spower's calibre possesses in spades. -- John Burnside * * The Scotsman * *
