Seven environmentalists recommend 'Top 10 Eco-reads' for the summer...
Two Earthscan book included in The Ecologist's Top Ten are:
Jonathon Porritt recommends State of the World 2010: Transforming Cultures from Consumerism to Sustainability (Earthscan 2009):

Tony Juniper recommends Prosperity Without Growth: Economics for a Finite Planet (Earthscan 2009):
"Prosperity Without Growth is a very accessible book - you don't have to be an economist to read it - and it paints a graphic picture of the scale of the challenge and the clear need for macro-economic change, as well as at other levels." Read more here>>
