内容説明
There are many recruits to the environmental research ranks every year. Each brings their own perspectives and their own commitment to change academic and practical debates. In the face of this diversity of perspectives, the disciplinary approaches which have directed research for many years are recombining. "Perspectives on the Environment" broadens the often insular approaches to environmental issues and encourages the development of more robust and comprehensive research strategies to address environmental problems. The book is a collection of current interdisciplinary research. It is divided into four parts, each of which is centred upon a substantive environmental theme rather than a disciplinary or theoretical perspective. Research on the themes of green ideology, environmental regulation and policy, form the first three parts of the book. The fourth part offers contrasting case studies on air pollution in the USA and former USSR. With the fragility of funding for various types of research, this book strengthens the increasing foundations of interdisciplinary research so that it is not disadvantaged in the academic competition for recognition.
It illustrates the strengths of this type of study and urges other researchers to appreciate what interdisciplinary environmental research can offer the academic community.
