This is a great resource to clarify those environmental terms you may come across, as well as more in depth ideas in this area. It is arranged alphabetically and very easy to use, with clear language and type. It is good for writing letters about ecological issues, as well as a useful reference book to understand the issues we are seeing progressively more in the media.

Sub-titled 'Why environmental scientists can't predict the future', this book is a devastating survey of the consequnces of relying on quantative mathematic modelling to make environmental predictions.
The bulk of the book is a series of case studies covering the collapse of the Grand banks fishery (once the world greatest fish supply), Yucca mountain proposed nuclear waste repository, the rise in sea level, predictions of beach geology, open cast mine pollution predictions, and invasive plants.
The results make for a terrifying indictment of our attempts to predict futre events from mathematical model of past events. Time and again the models have been proved wrong, but with fudge factors added to get the politically ... Read More:
