    Book description

    The Fragile Environment explores the impact of the human species on its environment and deals with such topical and urgent questions as the death of forests, acid rain and pollution, desertification, the greenhouse effect and other disruptions to the global climate. The eight contributors, all international authorities, address themselves to a broad general readership.

    Reviews

    ‘I doubt if there are many better short guides to the debate. Written by scientists for laymen, the book gives you not only the technical essentials but the perspective of people who really understand the problems and whose advice will influence the answers.’
