A painfully difficult new year’s choice amongst a host of highly relevant titles covering a dizzying array of essential issues, but we gave it our best shot.
We’re obviously not under any illusion that that there are no really pertinent and up to date works on sustainability issues missing from this list. If you’d like to send us your own selection of candidates for the next time we issue a new list, the more books we receive that deserve consideration, the sooner we’ll issue a new and revised top 10.
