Survey of environmental issues facing the world today . . .
OUR GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT, 4/e provides a broad, up-to-date survey of the major environmental issues facing the world today. It describes the ecological impact of various human activities combined with specific issues of personal and community health, emphasizing the interrelatedness of the two. A great strength is its ability to impart to readers a sense of how these environmental issues directly affect their own lives, as well as to make them aware of opportunities to participate in decision-making processes that will influence health and environmental quality in years to come. Beginning with rudimentary discussion of general ecological principles, the text focuses primarily on our present population-resources-population crisis and explains why human health and welfare depend on a successful resolution of these challenges. The presentation of materials is enhanced by 89 photographs while more than 85 maps, charts, and graphs will better enable readers to synthesize information and identify trends. CONTENTS: I.
