Dictionary of Environment and Development: People, Places, Ideas and Organizations.
Crump, Andy
As the linkage of environment and development issues moves increasingly to the forefront of international concerns, a variety of ideas and phrases from insiders in a number of fields are appearing in books and news reports. This concise reference offers readers a guide to these new terms. It covers ecological processes such as desertification, tropical diseases, financial and agricultural terms, international treaty organizations and acronyms, and environmental issues like forest loss, biodiversity, Antarctica, and the global warming debate.
