Abstract	Depicting how people in nine countries can improve their lives while living within their environmental means is the primary aim of this book. Chapter 1 highlights the division of earth's people into the haves and the have nots and describes the inequity of so few having so much of the available resources. Chapter 2 examines the problem of how international development banks finance programs that destroy the land rather than underwrite programs that ensure the land for future generations. Chapter 3 details the development project of a Buddhist monk in Sri Lanka. The efforts of UNESCO and the Integrated Project in Arid Lands (IPAL) to combat desertification in Kenya are described in chapter 4. Chapter 5 discusses the fishing industry of the Solomon Islands, and the creation of the Urban Self-Management Community of Villa el Salvador (CUAVES) as a governing system for the impoverished sections in Villa el Salvador, Peru is the topic of chapter 6. Chapter 7 discusses rural peoples in China, and organic farming in England is the subject of chapter 8. Chapter 9 details the poisoning of the water system in San Jose, California by an electronics company, and chapter 10 outlines the work of women in providing for their children in Zimbabwe. A bibliography and resources are provided. (SM)
