Green Earth Guide: Traveling Naturally in Spain
by Dorian YatesSurveys by the International Ecotourism Society reveal that more than three-quarters of American travelers feel it is important not to damage the environment they are visiting.

The book rescues readers who are accustomed to a certain level of green consciousness at home but end up compromising their values on vacation. Author Yates shows how to make the most environmentally beneficial choices for basic needs--food, shelter, health, exercise--while enjoying sites of ecological, historical, and natural interest along the way.From the Trade Paperback edition.

The Green Revolution Revisited: Critique and Alternatives (Routledge Library Editions: Development)
by Bernhard GlaeserThe Green Revolution – the apparently miraculous increase in cereal crop yields achieved in the 1960s – came under severe criticism in the 1970s because of its demands for optimal irrigation, intensive use of fertilisers and pesticides; its damaging impact on social structures; and its monoculture approach. The early 1980s saw a concerted approach to many of these criticisms under the auspices of Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). This book, first published in 1987, analyses the recent achievements of the CGIAR and examines the Green Revolution concept in South America, Asia and Africa, from an ‘ecodevelopment’ standpoint, with particular regard to the plight of the rural poor. The work is characterised by a concern for the ecological and social dimensions of agricultural development,which puts the emphasis on culturally compatible, labour absorbing and environmentally sustainable food production which will serve the long term needs of developing countries.

The Greenwood Encyclopedia of Homes Through World History, Volume 3: The Industrial Revolution to Today, 1751 to the Present
by James SteeleSteele (author and educator, U. of Southern California) provides a comprehensive survey of the housing of significant cultures from throughout the world: the Americas, Africa, Asia and Australasia, East and Southeast Asia, and Europe and the Western Mediterranean. The three-volume set spans the development of housing from ancient times to the present. While the author discusses materials used and methods of construction, he also delves into how the housing of different societies reflects their belief systems, social orders, and cultures. From the relatively familiar stone structures of Macchu Picchu to the Chinese residential districts known as hutongs, the array of architectural styles and the considerations incorporated into their construction--such as environment, light, protection, and available materials--provide a fascinating journey through history. Organized in an encyclopedic format, the set is clearly written, informative, and well-illustrated. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
