The Real World Coalition is an alliance of 32 pressure groups, from Alarm UK
to the World Wide Fund for Nature. In The Politics of the Real World by Michael
Jacobs (Earthscan, £6.99, ISBN 1 85383 350 9), they explain why they have
formed an alliance, and how we can get poverty, sustainability and social
justice back on the political agenda. An invigorating read.
