Reviews

Mark Roseland, Director, Community Economic Development Centre, and Professor of Geography, Simon Fraser University:
The subject of the book is critically important. What is really innovative here is the focus on health and sustainability and the attempt to find some common ground between the two. To my knowledge there have been few attempts to bridge this chasm.
