It discusses environmental issues as well as the techniques and infrastructure for their management at various levels: global, national and local. The examples range from global warming and ozone depletion to the management of water resources and indoor air pollution. The book stresses the interrelated and interdisciplinary nature of environment, discusses the concept of sustainable development, explores the role of non-governmental organisations, and evaluates the importance attributed by international and multilateral organisations to monitoring environmental aspects of development projects. It critically reviews various economic, social and regulatory policies which address environmental issues. The different disciplines of the two authors (a physical geographer and a public policy economist) help to maintain the balanced and interdisciplinary nature of the book. Written primarily for advanced undergraduates, this is a stimulating text for any environment related course. Written in simple language and avoiding unnecessary jargon the book explains clearly the technical aspects of environmental management. Profuse illustrations, a large number of examples from a range of geographical areas, boxed case studies and stimulating exercises make the book attractive and comprehensive. All these features make the book a unique teaching tool in environmental management in the developing world.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eBASIC TOOLS AND CONCEPTS.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Introduction to the Physical Environment.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e World Population: Distribution and Trends.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Economics of Environment: Concepts and Tools.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e MANAGING THE ENVIRONMENT.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Natural Vegetation as a Resource\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Land Use and Environmental Impact.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Development of Water Resources.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Energy and Development.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Changing Air Quality.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Urban Development and Environmental Modification.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Coastal Waters.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Techniques for Environmental Evaluation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e THE GLOBAL ISSUES.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The History of Current Environmental Awareness.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Current Global Events and Projected Effects.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Environmental Arrangements: Present and Future.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Global Governance for Environment.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Main Issues.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e References.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Earth sciences [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Earth sciences\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Earth%20sciences%20%5BRB%5D%22\"\u003eRB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52316739928344,"sku":"9780471983385","price":76.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471983385.jpg?v=1781823353","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/environment-and-the-developing-world-principles-policies-and-management-paperback-softback-9780471983385","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
