Contacts, including URLs, e-mail addresses, and phone and fax numbers allow you to access more detailed information.

Recenzje

"Finding the right environmental technology has often involved a blind crawl around the Internet, with chance rather than planning determining the outcome. Thanks to Dan Gottlieb, those days are over. This book provides a broad and comprehensive survey of resources, from government agencies to Internet sites, that should help every environmental professional, regardless of where they are working, do their job better and more efficiently."
-Brad Allenby, VP, AT&T Environment, Health & Safety
