内容説明

"Understanding Environmental Issues" asks: What is meant by the term "environment"?; Why are environmental questions so pressing?; and How can we make sense of environmental issues? The book begins with an investigation of an estuary and touches upon the issues of sea level change, over fishing, nuclear waste disposal, and management of biodiversity. Subsequent chapters take the topic of species extinction to introduce the concepts of time/space, values/power/action, and risk/uncertainty. It is part of the "OU Wiley Environment Series".
