Opis

Methods of environmental management, and especially the tools of environmental management, are increasingly being relied upon world-wide to deliver a degree of sustainability in all human activities. A thorough understanding of the nature, capabilities and limitations of the tools to be applied as well as the conditions under which they can be best applied, is essential for students, researchers and practitioners within the field of environmental management. This three-volume text presents research and practical applications in the field. Spanning the four main aspects of environmental management; instruments, compartments, sectors and ecosystems, the text contains over 60 contributions from leading specialists in each field and offers a major source of contemporary international research and application within environmental management in practice.
