Review

"An essential contribution to the literature on environmental political theory, environmental politics, and political theory..." Elisabeth Ellis, Texas A&M University Perspectives on Politics

"This book takes head-on one of the biggest obstacles to making change: the idea that Americans will never sacrifice for environmental goals. The stubbornness of that one idea has discouraged individuals, environmental organizations, and governments from taking the bold steps necessary to address today's ecological crisis. With that false roadblock deconstructed and out of the way, the road to real change is wide open! A must-read for anyone who has been discouraged by the 'Americans will never sacrifice' myth." Annie Leonard, author of The Story of Stuff and Director, The Story of Stuff Project

"This is an excellent, thoughtful, and original book. I came to the material skeptically and came away from it convinced that this is indeed an important area to explore, and that much more can be made of the idea of sacrifice than would generally be assumed." Andrew Dobson, Keele University

"This is not your usual academic book! Innovative in its themes and fun to read, it challenges us to a new environmental politics that avoids the dead ends of both 'sacrifice isn't needed' and 'sacrifice isn't possible.' I highly recommend it." James Gustave Speth, author of The Bridge at the Edge of the World: Capitalism, the Environment, and Crossing from Crisis to Sustainability

"This lively and highly imaginative volume demonstrates how the controversial notion of environmental sacrifice can provide an exceptionally fruitful way of reflecting on many of the burning questions associated with the transition to a sustainable society. Essential reading for anyone interested in environmental politics." Robyn Eckersley, University of Melbourne
