Summary: Keys to the Future
Review: This book is critically important. Well obvious before September 11, but even more so afterwards, it is clear that we are subject to global problems such as climate change which must be addressed on a global level. National contributions are vital but they must add up to a greater whole.

In a brilliant analysis Simmons and his co-author examine a wide variety on efforts on global issues, identify what has worked and what hasn't.

This is a global civics lesson!
