The $140 book (edited by Jonathan M. Harris, Director of the Theory and Education Program and Neva R. Goodwin, Co-Director of the Global Development and Environment Institute at Tufts University, and published by Edward Elgar) is a bit hard to characterize. On the one hand (obviously) it is a technical overview of an arcane subject, written by specialists for specialists. On the other hand, it contains some extremely useful cal pieces, organized into an instructive pattern that makes a great deal of sense. One of these pieces is chapter 4, “The right to development in a climate constrained world,” which will not be unfamiliar to readers of this site.
