Review
The Good Book Guide
Middleton's title is both innovative and appropriate ... Each chapter provides a convenient and accessible introduction to the issue in question.
Progress in Physical Geography
A book of such broad canvas, critical outlook and competitive price can be confidently recommended as a study aid for a wide range of courses in geography, environmental science and development studies.
Global Ecology and Biogeography Letters
This book...provides a concise introduction to each topic; there are abundant facts rather than general statements which impart rigour. It fulfils its objective as an introduction to environmental issues for A level and first year undergraduates in geography and environmental science. For those wanting to delve deeper, each chapter has web site recommendations...
...this book...(emphasizes) what messy mortals humans are and what risks they have taken withn the global casino.

Transactions of the IBG
Considerable advances in understanding and managing environmental issues have been made in recent years and, with the plethora of environment-related conventions, reports, initiatives and treaties that have appeared since the publication of the second edition in 1999, this third edition of The Global Casino is timely and has much to offer. It provides a comprehensive, undergraduate-level introduction to environmental problems and is packed with case studies and up-to-date information...the improved and re-organised lists of references and websites provide an excellent resource for researching topics further.
