Green Political Thought: An Introduction 
用户评分: - Highly recommended. This book is aimed primarily at the academic reader. However, for those of us who take a practical interest in environmental issues, but find ourselves one day trying to explain exactly why people bother to use their cars less or why the natural world deserves respect, this is a valuable and very readable book. about the origins and theory of the movement which placed them on the agenda. The discussion of similarities and differences between Green and traditional politics was far more interesting than I would have expected - while the Greens are often seen as Left-wing, in some respects they have more similarilities to the Right. Frequent quotations and vignettes are neatly tied into a strong argument that Green politics is profoundly different from both. Dobson has clearly taken into account responses to the first edition. What is more, while I had the impression that sympathises with Green policies, this book is definitely a balanced discussion not a eulogy, so you don t have to be an ecologist to read it. Highly recommended!
