State Of The World 2003 (Worldwatch Institute)
The 2003 release represents the 20th anniversary edition of Worldwatch's classic evaluation of the state of the world. The text argues that past successes-such as the elimination of smallpox and the encouraging drop in birth rates in many countries-prove that humanity is capable of redirecting itself in positive ways. Substantive chapters examine the disappearance of birds, links between population, women and biodiversity, efforts to combat malaria, energy technologies, mining dependence, urban issues, and engaging religion for sustainable development. For more information on the text and how to order it see: www.worldwatch.org/pubs/sow/2003/.
