Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

The answer to the question of what makes an environmental problem says the author is the incompatibility of the polluter's interests with the preservation of the environment. In this book he takes six, very different, examples as far apart as the Rhine and the Arctic, as Tennessee and the Gulf of Genoa, to illustrate his point. In doing so he shows up the very real dilemmas facing those who are fighting to improve matters - not just the well-known effects of pollution or degradation, but how environmental problems emerge and the complexity of the questions and range of participants in each case. These rivotting and true stories are essential reading for every environmentalist.
