As concern for the environment continues to grow, environmental science has become an interdisciplinary subject dealing with elements of ecology, chemistry, economies, engineering, biochemistry, politics and sociology. This valuable dictionary, now in its 3rd edition, includes over 4000 entries covered in depth with extensive cross-referencing to guide the reader, illustrations and more international case studies. This informative read is an indispensable reference to all those concerned with the world's environment. "This compilation is, indeed, a valuable addition to the environmental bookshelf, because of its comprehensiveness, clear presentation and up-to-date treatment. As a reference book the second edition is indispensable and of interest to a wide circle of researchers, students, personnel in all sorts of activities and the general public. The enormous effort by the author to seek information from a tremendous number of sources is to be applauded, bearing in mind the multi-disciplinary nature of environmental problems. Apart from a generous presentation of topics, the book contains many valuable figures and tables and a guide to further reading. I have nothing but praise for the author's dedication and hard work."
