In Time for Change, Network members point out the connections among the many economic, social, and environmental objectives that' must be combined to achieve
sustainable development. By explaining the inextricable links among issues as seemingly unrelated as energy, population growth, transportation, women's issues, industry, housing, and health care. Time for Change provides a useful context for anyone planning to participate in or follow the progress of the upcoming Earth summit. Vissza
