内容説明

Winner of the CHOICE AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC BOOK IN 1996 'The Global Casino' is a comprehensive and stimulating introduction to environmental issues. Using worldwide examples, Nick Middleton highlights the underlying causes behind environmental problems, the human actions that have made them issues, and the hope for solutions. Completely revised and updated to include the latest research findings and a range of new case studies, this new edition has reorganised the issues chapters, beginning with those linked to specific environments before covering more generic issues. In addition to a glossary of key terms, and expanded further reading sections, the text now also includes a critical guide to key web sites and topics for discussion.
