Discovering Havana: In The Footsteps Of Hemingway

"This is an important book. Homer-Dixon moves the arguments about environmental scarcity and violent conflict forward a big step. I doubt if much will be written about the subjects in the next ten years that does not build on it, follow out some of its leads, or try to refute it." (Robert Jervis, Institute for War and Peace Studies, Columbia University)"Thomas Homer-Dixon has thought more deeply, reasoned more carefully, and written more coherently about the environment/scarcity/violence nexus than anyone else I know of. This is a brilliant book—must reading for anyone concerned about the human condition in the twenty-first century." (John P. Holdren, Center for Science and International Affairs, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University)
