Chlorofluorocarbons are known to be effective spray can
propellants, solvents and refrigerators and were often used in
deodorants, refrigerators and other goods. However, it was not
known at the beginning of their use, the complex reaction that CFCs
have on the earth's climate. Originally published in 1982, this
report explores early research into the effect that CFCs have on
the environment and provides guidance on how this emerging issue
should be dealt with. This title will be of interest to students of
Environmental Studies.

From Empty-World Economics to Full-World Economics Ecological
economics explores new ways of thinking about how we manage our
lives and our planet to achieve a sustainable, equitable, and
prosperous future. Ecological economics extends and integrates the
study and management of both "nature's household" and "humankind's
household"-An Introduction to Ecological Economics, Second Edition,
the first update and expansion of this classic text in 15 years,
describes new approaches to achieving a sustainable and desirable
human presence on Earth. Written by the top experts in the field,
it addresses the necessity for an innovative approach to integrated
environmental, social, and economic analysis and management, and
describes policies aimed at achieving our shared goals. Demands a
Departure from Business as Usual The book begins with a description
of prevailing interdependent environmental, economic, and social
issues and their underlying causes, and offers guidance on
designing policies and instruments capable of adequately coping
with these problems. It documents the historical development of the
disciplines of economics and ecology, and explores how they have
evolved so differently from a shared conceptual base. Structured
into four sections, it also presents various ideas and models in
their proper chronological context, details the fundamental
principles of ecological economics, and outlines prospects for the
future. What's New in the Second Edition: Includes several new
pieces and updates in each section Adds a series of independently
authored "boxes" to expand and update information in the current
text Addresses the historical development of economics and ecology
and the recent progress in integrating the study of humans and the
rest of nature Covers the basic concepts and applications of
ecological economics in language accessible to a broad audience An
Introduction to Ecological Economics, Second Edition can be used in
an introductory undergraduate or graduate course; requires no prior
knowledge of mathematics, economics, or ecology; provides a unified
understanding of natural and human-dominated ecosystems; and
reintegrates the market economy within society and the rest of
nature.
