Vital Signs 2005-2006

This annual volume from the Worldwatch Institute gives prominence to key trends that too often escape the attention of the news media, world leaders and economic experts. By distilling 25 'vital signs' of our times from thousands of governmental, industrial and scientific sources, this book allows readers to track key indicators that show our social, economic and environmental progress, or the lack of it. Each trend is presented in both text and two colour graphics, providing a thorough, well-documented and very accessible overview.
