The republication of Making a Killing by Iridescent Publishing marks the 20th anniversary of the Earth Summit (June 20-22), as some 50,000+ dignitaries, bureaucrats, scientists, nature managers, conservationists, business leaders, celebrities, and the world\u2019s press once again descend upon glamorous Rio de Janeiro for the UN\u2019s \u201cRio+20\u201d Earth Summit II \u2014 billed as a \u2018once in a lifetime opportunity\u2019 to save the planet.<\/p>\n

With elephant-hunting royalty again in the news, nature managers insisting that endangered species must be made to pay for their own conservation, sea levels on the rise and deserts on the march, the frenetic political escapism, corporate wheeling and dealing, and media frenzy that Making a Killing flayed back in 1996, are if anything even more acute today \u2014 and just as deserving of this satire\u2019s poison-tipped pen.<\/p>\n

For those without dedicated e-readers (Kindles, iPads etc.), Amazon also provides free applications so that Kindle books can be read on Macs and PCs, smartphones and tablets. These reader apps can be downloaded from Amazon here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
