A multitude of immediate needs, however, compete for the staggering sums required to save the environment, and the reduction of consumption which must accompany such expenditures holds little popular appeal. The decisions, therefore, must ultimately be political ones--but what choices are governments to make?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere is the essence of what Professors Harold and Margaret Sprout term \"the statesmen's dilemma.\" These noted scholars examine the dilemma in detail, exploring a wide range of points of view and developing a reasoned philosophical stance of their own. \u003cbr\u003eWhile their account of what is happening to the world and what we are doing about it is a gloomy one, it is notable that the authors do not entirely despair of man's future. In an epilogue they propose a number of measures which, with luck, might enable coming generations to inherit a share of the earth's bounty. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Context of Environmental Politics\u003c\/i\u003e is the first volume of \"The Third Century Series,\" a group of books exploring the major issues and challenges confronting the United States as it enters its third century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eHarold and Margaret Sprout\u003c\/b\u003e are research associates in the Center of International Studies of Princeton University.
