Advances in environmental research from all over the world are documented in this loose collection of government studies and academic projects. Nova Science staff editors Rades and Tilesman (no credentials given) gather cutting-edge research on the tenuous and sometimes destructive relationship humans have with their surroundings, concentrating on such topics as pesticide poisoning in sub-Saharan Africa, the effects of power plants on the immediate environment and the acidification of boreal climate zones. Aimed at other researchers in the field, this book also provides data on negative environmental changes at the microscopic level.
