内容説明

Understanding and solving the pressing environmental problems that face us today requires application of the best scientific knowledge available. Currently most enviromental managers are using books that focus on what is known about scientific methods, techniques, models and data that might be helpful. However, as environmental problems become ever more complex, it is questionable to what extent scientific knowledge is adequate or appropriate as a basis for making environmental decisions. Managers need to be aware that scientific results are based on probabilities rather than definitives. This book takes a case-study approach, with contributions from leading names in the field
