Book Synopsis The Soviet Environment by : John Massey Stewart
Download or read book The Soviet Environment written by John Massey Stewart and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-30 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, originally published in 1992, describes the Soviet environment at its crisis point in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Beolorussia and the Ukraine had, as a result of the Chernobyl accident, been declared ecological disaster zones and across the country as a whole as many as 20 per cent of the population lived in environmental danger areas and another 35-40 per cent in unsatisfactory conditions. According to a Supreme Soviet Environment Committee report of 1989, 80% of all illness in the USSR related either directly or indirectly to environmental problems. In this book, leading specialists from both the West and the Soviet Union present a comprehensive analysis of these problems. The contributors examine the aftermath of Chernobyl, the catastrophic causes and effects of the Aral Sea's shrinkage, the environmental issues and public unrest. The depth of analysis in this volume together with the breadth of topics addressed will ensure that it is read by students and specialists of the Soviet Union and environmental issues, as well as by all government officials, journalists and industrialists with an interest in the Soviet environment.

Book Synopsis The Environmental Heritage of Soviet Agriculture by : Bo Libert
Download or read book The Environmental Heritage of Soviet Agriculture written by Bo Libert and published by Cabi. This book was released on 1995 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The environmental problems, such as pollution and land degradation, of post-Soviet agriculture are indeed serious and represent a major obstacle to the expansion of food production in the new political and economic arena. This book provides a thorough review of these problems and also responds to several reports claiming that the situation is irremediable. Although environmental problems are severe, the author shows that they are not necessarily the key limiting factor in agricultural production in the short-term. Drawing on a range of personal interviews and statistics and on the social, economic and political literature, as well as information on crop production, soil and water use, and the environment, it is shown how a more sustainable future might be attained.

Book Synopsis Insects and Pollution by : K. Heliovaara
Download or read book Insects and Pollution written by K. Heliovaara and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-02-01 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Insects and Pollution provides a comprehensive overview of both the direct and indirect effects of pollution on insects and discusses the ecological and economic consequences of these changes. The book reviews studies on pollutant-induced changes in insects classified according to their trophic position, taxonomy, and developmental stage. These changes are considered on different spatial and temporal scales, in different climatic and vegetation zones, and in different habitats (with emphasis on coniferous forests). The book also describes the effects of a variety of pollutants on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Other topics considered include the effects of pollutants on insect physiology, ecology and evolution, and updating and synthesizing data. Insects and Pollution is the first book to combine entomological and ecotoxicological perspectives to address the far-ranging effects of pollution on insects. It is essential reading for entomologists, ecotoxicologists, conservation biologists, and other professionals in the environmental sciences.
Book Synopsis Smokestack Diplomacy by : Robert G. Darst
Download or read book Smokestack Diplomacy written by Robert G. Darst and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2001-01-02 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many environmental problems cross national boundaries and can be addressed only through international cooperation. In this book Robert Darst examines transnational efforts to promote environmental protection in the USSR and in five of its successor states—Russia, Ukraine, and the Baltic republics of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania—from the late 1960s to the present. The core of the book is a comparative study of three key issues: nuclear power safety, transboundary air pollution, and Baltic Sea pollution. Although expectations were high that the end of the Cold War and the breakup of the Soviet Union would lead to increased East-West environmental cooperation, the opposite has been true. Russia and the other successor states have generally agreed to address such problems only when paid to do so. Darst finds that post-Cold War environmental cooperation has been most successful when there is an overlap between the environmental and economic interests of the successor states and those of their Western neighbors, and when the foundation for cooperation was laid during the Cold War period. The book is based on extensive original field research, including interviews with diplomats, government officials, scientists, and environmental activists in the successor states and Western Europe. Its findings underscore the importance of the domestic and international political context in which international environmental policy making occurs. It also deepens our understanding of the opportunities and dangers of positive inducements as a tool of international environmental policy.
Book Synopsis Environmental Problems in East-Central Europe by : Frank Carter
Download or read book Environmental Problems in East-Central Europe written by Frank Carter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-09-26 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this new edition, the progress made in the last decade to solve the environmental problems described in the first edition is assessed. The attempts to bring environmental legislation into line with West European norms is also described. Environmental Problems of East-Central Europe looks at air and water pollution, modern farming, water supplies, waste management and landscape protection. These topics are placed within economic, social and political profiles, as spending on a clean environment must be reconciled with welfare spending and the safeguarding of jobs, European Union assistance, civil society and the work of environmental NGOs are also discussed. All of these matters are considered within the context of the wider geographical area and then by each individual country, including the previously communist states lying to the west of the Soviet Union (now with the former federal states of Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia broken up into seven different entities) and a review of the former Soviet Union with particular reference to the Baltic States. Environmental Problems in East-Central Europe provides a wealth of up-to-date reference material, with a vast amount of supporting literature on environmental conditions and the functioning of civil society and a map of each country. The environment is being taken seriously by them all, such is the influence of the Rio sustainability agenda in general and the EU environmental 'acquis' in particular. The book reveals that Eastern Europe is not a blighted area, but in some respects has a higher biodiversity than Western Europe. Although there is enormous waste and inefficiency in energy use, people actually consume relatively little and the East therefore has some lessons for the West in terms of managing on the bases of 'fair share' of the earth's resources.

Book Synopsis Systematics and Conservation Evaluation by : Peter L. Forey
Download or read book Systematics and Conservation Evaluation written by Peter L. Forey and published by Clarendon Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conservation of the Earth's diversity is one of the most important and daunting challenges faced by biologists and politicians alike. The challenge has been taken up and declarations of intent issued, but there remains the basic problem of defining what we are trying to conserve, and why. This collection of essays reflects the wide range of views that are held about what constitutes biodiversity; from its perception in terms of species numbers, categorization of landforms, or different ecological levels, to the view that biodiversity is a dynamic and socio-political necessity for our own survival. The problems of matching species numbers, species variety, and the systematic hierarchy to geographic areas which we may wish to save are also addressed. Given that we need to set priorities for conservation, it is suggested that the preservation of the systematic hierarchy - as the most complete representation of the evolutionary legacy - should be the goal of conservation, and ways are outlined by which this may be accomplished.
