Central to the concept of this book is the idea that environmental systems are complex, open systems. The approach that the authors take is to present the diversity of approaches to dealing with environmental complexity and to encourage readers to make comparisons between these approaches and between different disciplines. Now thoroughly revised and updated the second edition of this successful and well respected text book is an indispensible aid to all Environmental scientists Includes bibliographical references and index Print version record John Wiley and Sons Wiley Online Library UBCM All Obooks HTTP:URL=https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/book/10.1002/9781118351475 |
