Sustainable Development
There is an excellent crop of new titles right across the 
subjects which we group together under Sustainable 
Development. Among these is the topic of aid, on which 
William Easterly passes compelling judgment in The White 
Man's Burden. In Fair Future, Wolfgang Sachs et al 
address the relationship between social justice and 
environmental sustainability, which will increasingly set the 
agenda of global politics. A particular example of this type 
conflict is analysed in David Standlea's Oil, Globalization, 
and the War for the Arctic Refuge. An excellent new 
manual on sustainable living is Alex Steffen's 
Worldchanging. The importance of water is reflected in 
several new titles, including Larbi Bouguerra's Water under 
Threat.
