Wounded Planet reviews the key topics that global bioethics must address, including health, food and water. In many cases the description is overwhelmingly about social structure rather than biodiversity. Such discussions are fundamental but, although the book’s tagline starts ‘how declining biodiversity endangers health’, biodiversity was at times peripheral to discussions. Instead, the book is a call to reassess neoliberal values and challenge the promise of markets and technology to fix problems. Ten Have highlights the need to tackle problems at their root cause, and to ask what kind of world we want to live in and leave for future generations. ~ Dr Rebecca Nesbit
