Tipping the Balance

Meer over het boek

Illustrated with real-life case studies, this text considers how the environment has been managed in the past and how it can be managed more effectively in the future whilst balancing consumer needs against environmental resources. Two themes run through the book: that managing the environment requires a systematic and rational approach based on sound science rather than a series of knee-jerk responses to every issue that arises; and that individuals, through their informed actions, can make a significant difference.
