'This is a useful text to make students recognise the interconnectedness that underlies conservation, agriculture and environmental management with economics, ethics and politics. Although he cannot cover all aspects of sustainability Morse provides enough in this volume, from food miles to evidence based policy making, to challenge any ecologist, economist or even policy maker to think more broadly.'
