Abstract

This updated second edition explores the nature and role of environmental manage­ment, covering key principles and practice, and offers a comprehensive and under­standable introduction, which points readers to further in-depth coverage. This new edition reflects the rapid expansion and evolution of the field and focuses much more strongly on sustainable development. There has also been extensive rearrangement to make the book more accessible to those unfamiliar with environmental management and lacking a science background and there is greater coverage of topics such as key resources under stress, environmental management tools and urban environmental management. Among the key themes covered are:

+ Sustainable development

+ Proactive approaches

+ The precautionary principle

+ Tthe ‘polluter-pays’ principle

+ The need for humans to be less vulnerable and more adaptable.
