Tools and Methods for Pollution Prevention
ISBN: 9780792359265 / Angielski / Miękka / 383 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Difficult ethical and political issues confront the application of scientific and technological solutions for preventing pollution from occurring.

Traditional methods, such as cost-benefit, are outmoded as they translate all these objectives into monetary costs, a materialistic approach. On the contrary, objectives have rather to stick to their own units, eventually...

Of the two billion added to the global population, 99 percent will be added to the urban areas of the world. Of this number, 95 percent will be in countries of the developing world. As most people will live in urban areas we had better work to build and organize them as both attractive and less resource consuming places....

At a time when polls suggest that a majority of young British people believe that the future will offer a worse quality of life than the present, it is becoming imperative that children are introduced to principles of sustainability through the educational system from an early age, and that these principles are regularly reinforced and built upon.

Sustainability the Environment and Urbanisation

It looks at the broad economic context behind the problems and covers the...

Management of Shared Groundwater Resources: The Israeli-Palestinian Case with an International Perspective
ISBN: 9780792372547 / Angielski / Twarda / 496 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Most of the world's freshwater resources in the liquid state (i.e. not in glaciers and polar caps) are underground. As the population grows and demand for water rises, reliance on groundwater increases. In many cases the groundwater underlies boundaries, or is part of a hydraulic system that crosses boundaries. In such cases there is always the danger that the 'prisoner's dilemma' will run its course and all parties will compete over who will pump the most water, ultimately destroying the storage potential to the detriment of future generations of all parties reliant on the groundwater. This...
