商品描述内容简介First it was honeymoons in Spain, then long-weekends in Prague before budget mini-breaks to Los Angeles became available. But at the rate we're going, by 2050 the UK aviation industry will account for between half and all of the UK's acceptable carbon emissions. The world is already teetering on the edge of catastrophic climate change. Any increase in fuel-hungry transport around the globe could alone be enough to tip us over the edge, melting the wax in civilisation's wings as we fatally over-reach ourselves. This is the Icarus Complex. A world seduced by counterproductive and fatally flawed ambitions, and blind to the beauty and real wealth which are destroyed in their pursuit. Andrew Simms shows us a world where travel can be low and slow and where we can learn to live comfortably at a lower altitude.作者简介Andrew Simms is Policy Director of nef (the new economics foundation), an award winning UK think-and-do tank, and is on the board of Greenpeace UK.

In a series of groundbreaking reports on 'Ghost Town Britain' and 'Clone Town Britain', Andrew also coined the new terms and changed the debate on the impact of mass retailing. He lives in London with his wife, daughter and bicycle. He is one of four legal owners of a small patch of land that lies in the path of the proposed new runway at Heathrow.
