Synopsis
Thoroughly revised and updated to include the latest research in the field, A Dictionary of Environment and Conservation provides over 9,000 alphabetically arranged entries on scientific and social aspects of the environment, including concise and authoritative information on key thinkers, treaties, movements, organizations, concepts, and theories. For the second edition, Allaby has added over 700 new entries, including "aerial plankton," "cyclone collector," "oasis," and "supertramp." The dictionary also features many useful appendices that provide sources of online data on the environment, international environment treaties, the Beaufort scale of wind strength, a geological time-scale, the chemical elements, and SI units. In addition, readers have access to recommended web links that are listed and regularly updated on a dedicated companion website. The book also includes line drawings to illustrate entries. Covering such key subjects as sustainable development, biodiversity, and environmental ethics, the dictionary provides state-of-the-art information for readers interested in environmental science, conservation studies, and related topics.

From Booklist
The second edition of this user-friendly title is updated with 800 new entries, expanding the work to more than 500 pages. The compact paperback format features a shaded book edge to indicate progress through the alphabet for quick page flipping. Each entry is concise in its information and easily understood—and, where relevant, includes diagrams, charts, or cross-references. The appendixes include online data sources, international treaties on environmental issues, and various scales and tables. Students will appreciate having access to this information in one convenient source. This affordable title is recommended for public and academic libraries. --Stephanie Charlefour
