摘要：Islands at Risk? Environments, Economies and Contemporary Change by John Connellprovides a wealth of information to readers on environmental and economic patterns ofdevelopment in small islands and small island states (SISIs). In the Introduction, Connelllays out his goals for this book. The first goal is to examine the extent to which islands areparticularly vulnerable; the second goal is to see whether this vulnerability is environmental,economic or social-political; and the last goal is to understand why and how islands and islandstates vary considerably. At the outset, Connell admits that in meeting the goals of the bookhe is limited by the absence of adequate data on SISIs. As a result, he uses a qualitative approach.
