Synopsis
The Global Environment offers a rare opportunity to survey the work and opinions of leading sociologists, economists and natural scientists as they face the challenge of uniting to determine "what should be done". Examples are taken from a wide variety of human activities (agriculture, energy, industry, ...) as well as natural physical processes. Each of these informative and clearly written essays is authored by a leading expert in this multidisciplinary field. The book thus provides necessary and stimulating reading for all those concerned about the preservation of a habitable global environment and should appeal to many general readers.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The ffiM Japan International Symposium Energy and Environment - Global Warming was held in the Keidanren Guesthouse at the foot of Mt. Fuji, from October 21 to 24, 1990. The symposium was conducted in the context of ffiM Japan's longstanding commitment to good corporate citizenship. On this beautiful planet with its inter-dependent waters, lands and atmo sphere, we consider that the problems relating to the global environment are the most serious that the human race will face in the near future. The symposium provided an opportunity for forty scientists and researchers, from a wide variety of international backgrounds, to address matters relating to the global environment in an international forum. Eighteen papers were presented followed by panel and group discussions, on which the concluding remarks and recommendations are based. We chose three types of papers to target different aspects of the condition of the global environment: the natural science component; the socio-economic component; and the energy component which links these two. On the first day the symposium began with a plenary speech by Dr. J. Kondo followed by three keynote speeches, each with a particular focus. The following day, six speakers offered papers relating to the previous day's keynote speeches. 268 pp. Englisch. Seller Inventory # 9783662010877
