Human health and security are directly linked to the environment, and we ignore this at our peril. This atlas highlights key issues for sustainable development and maps the ecological footprint of first world consumption.
Providing international comparative coverage of the ozone layer, pollution, air quality, cities, agriculture and many other environmental issues of major and international concern, this atlas includes information on hunger and malnutrition, the increasing rate of urbanization and energy consumption, ozone loss, acid rain, global warming and the destruction of rain forests. The atlas also shows gains that have been made – how campaign groups have spread and how the international conservation crusade has increased in momentum.
The series has been an invaluable addition to political literature, and I would not be without the complete set on my own shelves.
