Brown, Lester R.

State of the World 1999 : A Worldwatch Institute Report on Progress Toward a Sustainable Society. - New York; London : W. W. Norton & Company, 1999 - xix, 259 p., tabl., fig.

State of the World 1999 presents evidence of the birth of an entirely new economy, an Environmental Revolution that may be as sweeping as the Industrial Revolution that put us on our present unsustainable course. The authors argue that, far from being too costly to consider, the transition to an environmentally sustainable economy represents the greatest investment opportunity in history. In country after country, community after community, people are making the changes needed to shift from todays's fossil fuel-based, auto-centric, throwaway economy to a solar/hydrogen-powered, bicycle/rail-centered, reuse/recycle economy - an economy that will satisfy human needs while preserving the Earth's ecosystems.
