'Global Nation deals extremely well with issues that no Australian environmental education can afford to ignore. There is no better reference currently available that relates economic globalisation to global ecological issues and Wiseman's book should be high priority professional reading for all teachers of current and prospective VCE subjects/units including Environmental Studies/Science, Geography and Environmental Economics.'
