520			_aLife 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 struggles of peoples across the globe do matter: to those involved, to those inti mately and distantly responsible, and to the many who will, unless lasting solutions are found, sooner or later experience similar difficulties in their own lives. Topics discussed: ♦Local responses to economic development (cases from Indonesia and China) ♦ Conservation and conflict (cases from Africa) ◆ Gold mining in the Amazon and Wisconsin ◆Food, conflict, and justice (cases from the US and Honduras) ♦ Development, degradation, misery, and conflict (case studies in Cancun and Chiapas) ♦Post-war matters (Eritrea and South Africa)
