Description: As an
introductory text aimed at those having little background knowledge of the
field and requiring only a modest background in science, Understanding our
Environment is unparalleled. This third edition enhances the standing of the
title by developing a more international approach. Bridging all the important
environmental media such as the atmosphere, fresh waters, oceans and solid
earth, it also emphasises the inter-linkages between these media.
The major human
and environmental impacts of pollution are summarised, and case studies are
included as illustrations of the measures needed for control. Worked examples
and questions are included to facilitate both teaching and learning of the
subject. This book will be essential reading for students in environmental
science and related areas, as well as scientists and engineers in industry,
public service and consultancy who require a basic understanding of
environmental processes.
