About this title

Synopsis

In clear, non-technical language, this book explains how the world's environment works and how it is affected by human activity. Readers can go behind the headlines to find out what's really happening in climate change, energy use, pollution, access to clean air and water, biodiversity, and food production as they explore the problems, the potential solutions, and the role of careful and informed stewardship in moving toward a sustainable future.

Concise, readable, and comprehensive, this account of environmental issues communicates a new wisdom for a modern world.
