Summary:

This reference offers an exploration and explanation of the primary issues related to environmental conservation and preservation and sustainability. Published in an encyclopedic format, entries include background on the issues, such as political, legal, scientific, economic, and international aspects--and points of contention on an array of topics from agribusiness to wind farms. Additional features include a glossary and a chronology. While the book would be useful for professionals in related fields, it also is accessible and would appeal to general interest readers who want to learn more about green issues.
