Produktinformationen zu „Global Environmental Issues (ePub)“
Global Environmental Issues, second edition builds on the
popularity of the first edition, viewing global environmental
problems as complex issues with a network of causes, influenced by
a range of actors with differing priorities. The book recognises
that science underpins much of what happens in society and
therefore it is important to be able to interpret the environmental
and social consequences of scientific developments. In addition to
discussing the main biophysical causes, the book illustrates how
socio-economic and political factors determine why and how people
use land, resources and technology, and how this in turn affects
natural resource management.
This edition includes new chapters on the politics of science,
International environmental regulation and treaties, environmental
issues in a globalised world and natural resource management.
Global Environmental Issues, second edition is essential
reading for upper level undergraduates and Masters students within
departments of Environmental Science and Geography.
* Includes case studies from around the world to provide a real
life context for the issues tackled in each chapter
* Considers both the results of human actions and natural
environmental change in order to provide balanced, in-depth
debate
* Includes coverage of contemporary 'hot topics' such as
biodiversity, globalization and sustainable development
* Chapters authored by experts in the field
* Includes new chapters on The politics of science, International
environmental regulation and treaties , Environmental issues in a
globalised world and Natural Resource Management
* Expanded sections include negotiating multilateral
environmental agreements, GM crops, biofuels and marine and
freshwater resources
