Global Environmental Issues will meet the needs of upper-level students who want a course book that goes beyond the basic environmental factors of climate change, pollution etc to set out the complexity of environmental change as a product of natural biophysical change and human actions. Edited and authored by lecturers at Kingston University, all chapters will be written to a tight editorial briefing relating to approach, subject-matter and style, to ensure that consistency is maintained throughout. This book is intended to replace the successful Mannion, Environmental Issues in the 1990s, which is now OP.
