Managing the Environment for Sustainable Development series

'. . . this series of volumes is extremely worthwhile. . .'
- Hazel Greenwood, Place

The task of moving from the present degrading and destructive relationship between economy and environment to a state of sustainable development represents the most crucial challenge facing modern global society. Changing the way in which society manages the environment is perhaps the most direct route to a more sustainable future.

This major new series reproduces selected key articles defining the various facets of sustainable environmental management including risk, waste and coastal management, rural and urban planning and the ethical and philosophical dimensions of environmental management in general. Each authoritative selection is prepared by key commentators in the field to present the student and researcher with the most important articles within each theme. In addition newly commissioned overviews provide a comprehensive survey of the relevant literature while the pagination of the original articles is retained to facilitate ease of reference. These features combine to make the series an essential reference source.
