The Environment Dictionary (Hardcover)

This dictionary is not flashy with colour illustrations and layouts but, in this handy, one-volume size, it may be the best and most useful of environmental reference works. The level is suitable for adult or university students, and there are good references under most selections for further reading. Black-and-white diagrams and photographs give helpful directions. Everything is explained clearly, with good cross references, and a detailed name and subject index. Guaranteed to become well worn. (Kirkus UK)

This dictionary provides a source of information on all aspects of the environment. It covers all the basic scientific terms and concepts along with the socio-economic, cultural, historical and political elements which impact on the environment. This dictionary provides the broad, balanced, interdisciplinary approach required to consider environmental issues worldwide. Designed for a wide range of readers, this dictionary is up-to-date and easy to read.

The references and further reading sections are drawn from a wide range of accessible sources - from newspaper articles and popular magazines, to academic texts and journals - and provide easy access to further study a
