Taking Sides: Clashing Views on Controversial Environmental Issues

by Theodore D. Goldfarb

This debate-style reader is designed to introduce students to controversies in environmental policy and science. The readings, which represent the arguments of leading environmentalists, scientists, and policymakers, reflect a variety of viewpoints and are staged as "pro" and "con" debates. Issues are organized around four core general philosophical and political issues, the environment and technology, disposing of wastes, and the environment and the future.
