This series is dedicated to serving the growing community of
scholars and practitioners concerned with the principles and
applications of environ mental management. Each volume is a
thorough treatment of a specific topic of importance for proper
management practices. A fundamental ob jective of these books is to
help the reader discern and implement man's stewardship of our
environment and the world's renewable resources. For we must strive
to understand the relationship between man and nature, act to bring
harmony to it, and nurture an environment that is both stable and
productive. These objectives have often eluded us because the
pursuit of other in dividual and societal goals has diverted us
from a course of living in balance with the environment. At times,
therefore, the environmental manager may have to exert restrictive
control, which is usually best applied to man, not nature. Attempts
to alter or harness nature have often failed or backfired, as
exemplified by the results of imprudent use of herbicides,
fertilizers, water, and other agents. Each book in this series will
shed light on the fundamental and applied aspects of environmental
management. It is hoped that each will help solve a practical and
serious environmental problem. Robert S. DeSanto East Lyme,
Connecticut Acknowledgments Compilation of the materials reviewed
in this inventory was facilitated greatly by several staff members
of the Disaster Research Center, University of Delaware (formerly
at The Ohio State University) and the Natural Haz ards Research and
Applications Information Center, University of Colorado."
