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.
