Excellent. One of the clearest and most sobering analyses I've ever seen of the environmental, social, and economic damage done by tourism...This is a necessary book. * Philip Pullman * Well written, entertaining and hugely important. * Zac Goldsmith * Hickman is very persuasive and travels with heart and brain fully engaged to reveal the environmental havoc wreaked by the exponential growth in international travel. -- Barbara Gunnell * New Statesman * Persuasive and sobering . . . a page-turner unlikely to be found poolside. * Financial Times * A project [Hickman] pursues intelligently and thoroughly . . . Other writers might have contented themselves with aloof tut-tutting. What makes The Final Call absorbing as well as persuasive is that Hickman illuminatingly talks to people ranging from fishermen and bar girls to developers and activists. * Guardian *
