Environmental Science in Perspective
This book, requiring little background in science, examines environmental concerns in four broad energy, the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, and the biosphere. The authors provide scientific insight into such issues dwindling natural gas and petroleum resources; fission and fusion as energy sources; CO2 build-up and the green-house effect; automobile emission control; acid rain; toxic waste disposal; lead, mercury, and cadmium poisoning; and environmental links to cancer.
The book presents both sides of these controversial issues in view of the science and technology involved. It provides the reader with a balanced understanding of today’s environmental debates. (Problem sets are included and an answer manual is available.)
