Forty years since the first UN Conference on the Human Environment was held in
Stockholm, how has the situation changed? We still have only one Earth but are
we caring for and maintaining it? This book, written by leaders in the field,
discusses the key environmental issues affecting the Earth today including
atmospheric science, the marine environment, waste management and a specific
chapter looking at changes in attitude to environmental issues.
Aimed at policy makers, students, environmental scientists and thinkers, this
title will be an important review bringing the reader right up to date with
current opinions and attitudes.
