The environmental crisis / Miguel A. Santos.
"This resource features the latest information on the global environmental crisis in the twentieth century. Ideal for student research, it examines the main causes of environmental concern and the key players who raised the environmental consciousness of the public. Following a timeline of key events and a historical overview of the environmental crisis, topical essays examine each of the major areas of environmental concern: our vanishing wilderness, pollution, overpopulation, and how we can coexist with our environment without destroying it."--Jacket.
