Three topics dominate discussions of the global environment:
pollution; the consequences of the affluent running ever faster
through finite resources; and the growing tensions between rich and
poor as a third of humanity continues to live and die in desperate
poverty. In this exceptional book Barbara Ward (co-author with Rene
Dubos of the bestselling Only One Earth) refused to see these
processes as inevitable. It describes new technologies for
recycling waste, for energy, for ?getting more or less?, linking
them to ordinary people's working lives. It also suggests a
strategy for meeting the basic needs of the disadvantaged, and
shows how the vast inequalities between countries can be reduced.
This perceptive survey of policies outlines a planetary bargain
between the world's nations that would guarantee individual freedom
from poverty and keep our shared biosphere in good working order.

With twenty educators contributing ideas piloted with children of
different abilities and backgrounds in their care, 'Good Grief'has
been designed to explore and demystify the experience of loss - in
different contexts - within the framework of the National
Curriculum. This second edition has been updated and revised, to
include a new chapter on the effects of disasters on children.
Suitable for all professionals, carers and parents, both books are
activity based. Good Grief 1 facilitates the use of children's own
experiences and encouraging improvisation and extension. Primarily
designed for mixed ability secondary and adult education, Good
Grief 2 will also be invaluable for many other statutory,
professional and community organisations.

An unofficial report commissioned by the Secretary-General of the
United Nations Conference on the Human Environment. Prepared with
the assistance of a 152-member committee of corresponding
consultants in 58 countries."[A] profoundly ethical, value-oriented
study . . . [points] to areas of concern for economists and
political scientists, philosophers and theologians." -P.J. Henriot,
America
Miss Barbara Ward is one of the ablest writers on public affairs o
four time. She writes clearly and informally from an admirably firm
background of training in economics and history and with a deep
commitment to the Western religious and ethical tradition a
commitment, however, not a dogmatic intolerance. These virtues come
out clearly in this brief but very compact book.
"Wondrously lucid, richly informed and trenchantly argued, tough-minded but never failing to assume that intelligence and will can move human society forward. . . . Miss Ward is at her scintillating best in analyzing just how difficult it is for the rich and the poor nations to reach rapport. . . . We could be a good deal more certain [of the future] if Americans would stop feeling overwhelmed by the world long enough to read this wise and inspiriting book." - Eric F. Goldman, New York Times Book Review, front-page review
"If, as I believe, there is more real security for Americans in understanding than in H-bombs, Barbara Ward has done us an inestimable service with this absoring, enlightening book. I strongly urge my fellow countrymen to read it, for they will find in it essential information on the state of the world and essential inspiration to do what needs to be done. The ideas presented here are stimulating and provocative and illuminating. The ideas are new and they make the news more understandable. And they suggest a policy for the West. A rewarding book . . . exceedingly important." - Adlai E. Stevenson
