ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SERIES The current expansion of both public and
scientific interest in environ- mental issues has not been accompanied
by a commensurate production of adequate books, and those which are
available are widely variable in approach and depth. The Environmental
Management Series has been established with a view to co-ordinating a
series of volumes dealing with each topic within the field in some
depth. It is hoped that this Series will provide a uniform and quality
coverage and that, over a period of years, it will build up to form a
library of reference books covering most of the major topics within this
diverse field. It is envisaged that the books will be of single, or dual
authorship, or edited volumes as appropriate for respective topics. The
level of presentation will be advanced, the books being aimed primarily
at a research/consultancy readership. The coverage will include all
aspects of environmental science and engineering pertinent to manage-
ment and monitoring of the natural and man-modified environment, as well
as topics dealing with the political, t: conomic, legal and social con-
siderations pertaining to environmental management.
