Life and Death Matters: Human Rights and the Environment at the End of the Millennium - Softcover
Life and Death Matters is a collection of stories, events, and experiences that provide a sense of what life is like for those who confront the environmental crises of our time. Barbara Johnston, editor and principal author of Who Pays the Price? once again puts her knowledge of human rights and environmental action to work to create a groundbreaking text, explicating how the life and death strugges of peoples across the globe do matter: To those involved, to those intimately and distantly responsible, and to the many who will, unless lasting solutions are found, sooner or later experience similar difficulties in their own lives.

Review:
The case studies of human rights violations that frame the arguments of the Johnston anthology are crucial to any contemporary practical understanding of or implementable solution to human environmental destruction.... And, given the rights-based nature of many contemporary institutional and governance structures, we will not resolve these issues of environmental justice without recognition of the kinds of environmental rights abuses and violations that the Johnston anthology documents. At the practical level of implementation, the human rights environmental perspective of Johnston's volume is necessary. (Karen J. Warren, (Macalester College) Signs: Journal of Women In Culture & Society)
