Tim Jackson Provides A Credible Vision Of How Human Society Can Flourish ?1/2 Within The Ecological Limits Of A Finite Planet. Fulfilling This Vision Is Simply The Most Urgent Task Of Our Times. This Book Is A Substantially Revised And Updated Version Of Jackson's Controversial Study For The Sustainable Development Commission, An Advisory Body To The Uk Government.
