Vital Signs 2005
This annual volume distills the "vital signs" of our times, which often escape the attention of the media, world leaders, and economic experts, from thousands of government, industrial, and scientific documents. It tracks the major indicators that show social, economic, and environmental progress, or the lack thereof. Vital Signs 2005 presents up-to-the-minute information on environmental and sustainable development topics, such as climate change, world population, energy, transgenic crops, HIV/AIDS, trade, and Internet use. Each trend is presented in text and graphics, providing a thorough, well-documented, and accessible overview. Vital Signs is an excellent companion to Worldwatch's acclaimed State of the World series.

a compelling look into the future
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Lester Brown and the World Watch Institure have revisited Vital SIgns in 2005 (they skipped 2004) and with it, again capture the key trends shaping our quality of life and economy. This book is a requirement for anyone planning and hoping to benefit, rather than be in conflict with, worldwide trends. Specifically, business folk, insurance, and those investing in the future would clearly benefit. I also refer to it when planning my career, advising others or if Im presenting and it has information I can draw from.
