Dictionary of Environmental Technology

As concern about the environment has grown, so has the whole academic discipline, embracing such previously disparate areas as ecology, economics, engineering, biochemistry, politics and sociology. This dictionary aims to provide both the student and the general reader with a working knowledge of the scientific and technical terminology associated with environmental studies. The book contains tables and diagrams, a list of useful addresses and a guide to further reading. It aims to both stimulate and inform those concerned with the world's environmental crisis.
