Kevin Bales is a social scientist, human rights activist, and journalist -- and he's also one of the world's leading experts on modern slavery. In his work he began to notice the connection between environmental decline and slavery: the two almost always went hand-in-hand, whether in the hellish gold mines of Ghana or the miraculously beautiful mangrove forests of Bangladesh. But why? He set off to find the answer on a fascinating and moving journey that took him into the lives of modern day slaves and along a supply chain that leads directly to the cell phones in our pockets. He found solutions that redeemed both the lives of the slaves in the world's most threatened places and the environments they live in. This is a clear-eyed, inspiring, and profoundly hopeful book that brings us dramatic stories from the world's environmental and human rights hotspots and offers solutions to our most pressing crises"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Slavery $x History $z Developing countries $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Slave labor $x Environmental aspects $z Developing countries. 650 0 $a Environmental degradation $z Developing countries. 650 0 $a Consumption (Economics) $x Environmental aspects. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Slavery. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Public Policy / Environmental Policy. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Developing Countries. $2 bisacsh 941 $a 18 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240202030135.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240111022348.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20230602010306.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909040401.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722052002.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204082331.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110064244.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213012824.0 952 $l SCPC074 $d 20170728025149.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20160412010319.0 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20160331012506.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20160323010711.0 952 $l HUAX887 $d 20160307113649.0 $m HUAX887 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20160304010943.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20160210011523.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20160203012905.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20160202094648.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20160202014139.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EC8D794AB8FE11E5951DB6E5DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
