Boersema, J. J., 1947- (Author). Reijnders, Lucas. (Added Author).

Summary:

"Principles of Environmental Sciences provides a comprehensive picture of the principles, concepts and methods that are applicable to problems originating from the interaction between the living and non-living environment and mankind. Both the analysis of such problems and the way solutions to environmental problems may work in specific societal contexts are addressed. Disciplinary approaches are discussed but there is a focus on multi- and interdisciplinary methods." "This book will be ideal as a course text for students, and will also be of interest to researchers and consultants in the environmental sciences."--Jacket.
