Planet Guernsey - Towards a Sustainable Future by Andrew Casebow (editor)
Climate change is humanity's greatest challenge as it will radically affect the environment of our planet.
This booklet puts this massive global issue into a local context. It is happening on the island and the effects on our lives and the Bailiwick's environment can be seen all around us. We all live and cope with change in our lives and reacting to climate change will be a challenge. This publication shows how we can respond to that challenge.

Guernsey in the 21st Century: A View from the First Decade by Tony Gallienne
In the last forty years Guernsey has been transformed from a parish based community with a land based economy, to an international service-based economy. We have full employment, a secure and safe environment, and a fulfilling lifestyle. We are faced, though, with new challenges in this new century which threaten our cocoon of wellbeing, but also possibilities which will allow us to continue to enjoy the promise of a good life. This book is about trying to understand how we navigate through, trying to achieve the openness and tolerance of a modern society but retaining the stability and rootedness of a traditional community.
