Praise for TNWW

"There is little question that there will be a 'next world war.' The only matter of dispute is whether it will be a bloody battle over the remaining pockets of essential resources on a degraded planet, or a war in which the world's nations rally together against ecological decline. Roy Woodbridge's book is a 'must read' for anyone not familiar with the dynamics that present us with this fatal choice and for everyone interested in the prospects for continued civilized life on Earth."
          -- William E. Rees,
             Professor, School of Community and Regional Planning,
             University of British Columbia.

"Woodbridge’s analysis of the ecological disaster directly ahead is astute.....(his) well-researchedbook addresses the major threat to our future...... It deserves to be widely read.” 
          -- Desmond Smith,
             Globe and Mail,

”Roy Woodbridge’s dizzying account of man’s impact on the environment ... merits a close and careful reading, particularly for its skilful spanning of disciplines. He employs credible political science, economics, and sociology to build airtight arguments for responding to current environmental conditions .....  Along the way, he avoids the worst of doom-and-gloom current affairs writing by offering practical alternatives and asking the reader to broadly consider the world we have built.”

-- Stephanie Farrington

"In The Next World War, Roy Woodbridge presents a cogent and compelling
argument to turn biocentrism on its head. Woodbridge's innovative analysis suggests we refocus the environmental agenda on the threat to all human societies from ecological decline. Having read his argument, I cannot but agree with him.'

“The Next World War offers a thoughtful and provocative model for how to meet the natural capital needs of growth without eroding the viability of global ecosystems”
