Riassunto

Evaluates the sustainability of current energy and mineral use, in terms of resource availability, the environmental impacts of extraction, processing and disposal of the emergence of political pressure groups and parties opposed to current practices. Minerals and energy are dealt with together through three stages. First, overall patterns of supply and demand are outlined. Then the impacts of current practices, from the local impacts of mining, through the regional and sometimes international impacts of processing and dumping with their effects on air pollution and on water bodies. Finally, proposals for amelioration are examined, ranging from land reclamation, controls on emissions and waste management to alternative energy and mineral recycling. Analysis of environmental politics shows some movement from scattered reaction against particularly offensive parts of energy or mineral cycles, through, more systematic green parties in some countries and towards increasing international recognition of a need for new policies.

Descrizione libreria

We are a family run online bookshop based in Wales at the western edge of the Brecon Beacons National park and have been selling books online since October 2004. I have always had a love of books and it eventually got to the stage where my own book collection began to take over the family home! I reluctantly decided to sell a few of my own books on Amazon and was astonished at how quickly they sold. I was hooked and decided to start buying and selling books as a small part-time business from my spare bedroom. The business rapidly expanded, taking over the spare bedroom and my garage, swiftly followed by a spare bedroom in my mother's house and her garage! I acquired a small industrial unit in February 2007 and took the plunge to go full-time in March 2007, closely followed by my wife in September 2007. In October 2007 we moved in to larger premises and also took on our first members of staff to assist with the ever increasing workload. Our aim is to ensure that the people who buy our books enjoy the same service that we would hope for when purchasing a book ourselves. To that end, we endeavour to give all our books accurate descriptions, price them accordingly and dispatch swiftly and safely. All orders are dispatched within one working day, Monday to Friday. We will endeavour to answer all queries by email within 24 hours.
