Written from a sustainable perspective, this readable, yet rigorous, book provides comprehensive coverage of a variety of local, regional, national, and global resource and environmental issues from population growth to wetlands to agriculture to global air pollution. It emphasizes practical, cost-effective, sustainable solutions to these problems that make sense from social, economic, and environmental perspectives. Overall increased emphasis on international and global issues (includes many examples from Canada). New information on Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing—integrated GIS Remote Sensing boxed information appears throughout, including 12 case studies. Expanded coverage of ecosystem management and watershed management, global climate change, ozone depletion, wetlands protection, and policy—including new international treaties, new federal laws, and more. The friendly, approachable writing style makes the book accessible to a wide range of readers—from those who want an introduction in natural resource conservation and natural resource management to professionals in this field.

Pearson College Div

This text for introductory resource conservation courses covers important principles of ecology and resource management. The authors describe the operating principles of a sustainable society, but maintain that these principles must be complimented by a change in attitudes that leads people to rethink their position in the ecosystem, and seek cooperation with, rather than domination of, nature. They discuss national and international environmental problems, and legislative, technological, and methodological solutions. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
