Opis

This book brings together some of the world's leading experts to discuss various techniques of management and amelioration of environmental problems. Individual chapters look at issues such as energy, agriculture, water shortages, pollution, health, and environmental business opportunities. While this book shows that there is lots of room for optimism, it also indicates that many environmental problems remain intractable and some are worsening.
