Recensioner i media

'Murray and Cook make it clear that China is increasingly becoming dominant in determining the success or failure of regional, at the very least, and very possibly global efforts to deal with the ecological devastation caused by rapid economic growth ... [they] do an excellent job of showing that the battle to change this will be long and hard for the Chinese, as it is for us all.' - Journal of Contemporary Asia
