What is meant by the term "environment"? Why are environmental questions so pressing? And, how can we make sense of environmental issues? Part of the "OU Wiley Environment Series", this book includes an investigation of an estuary and covers the issues of sea level change, over fishing, nuclear waste disposal, and management of biodiversity.
"Understanding Environmental Issues" asks: What is meant by the term "environment"?; Why are environmental questions so pressing?; and How can we make sense of environmental issues? The book begins with an investigation of an estuary and touches upon the issues of sea level change, over fishing, nuclear waste disposal, and management of biodiversity. Subsequent chapters take the topic of species extinction to introduce the concepts of time/space, values/power/action, and risk/uncertainty. It is part of the "OU Wiley Environment Series".

Introducing environmental issues: the environment of an estuary (Andrew Blowers and Sandy Smith). Are too many species going extinct? Environmental change in time and space (Joanna Freeland). Who cares? Values, power and action in environmental contests (Steve Hinchliffe and Chris Belshaw). What to do? How risk and uncertainty affect environmental responses (Nick Bingham and Roger Blackmore).
