Title: Breakfast of Biodiversity: The Truth About Rain Forest Destruction by John Vandermeer, Vandana Shiva, Ivette Perfecto ISBN: 0-935028-66-8 Publisher: Food First Books Pub. Date: June, 1995 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $16.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.75 (4 reviews)
Rating: 4
Summary: thought-provoking
Comment: Wonderfully researched, if sometimes dryly written. If you like this book, then you'll likely find something interesting in the coffee-table book, Costa Rica: The Last Country the Gods Made.
The essays, " New Conservation in the Costa Rican Parks System" and "House Made of Rain" touch on many of the things discussed in Vandermeer's text.
Rating: 5
Summary: Great explanation of political ecology
Comment: As a professional in the environmental area in Central America, I applaud Vandermeer and Perfecto's explanations of the workings of man in the humid tropical forests of our region. These are not easy issues, yet they manage to leave the reader with a sense of the urgency without oversimplifying or becoming preachy. This book is best for someone who is really interested in the political ramifications of US policy in the tropics, or for someone interested in working in the environment overseas.
Rating: 5
Summary: Great examination of rain forest destruction
Comment: I was drawn to this book because of the foreword by Vandana Shiva. I kept reading it. It does a good job of looking at several of the different variables causing rain forest destruction and keys in on land and food as major factors. Clear and easily read. Not to long or overly verbose.
