Energy, Food, Environment: Realities, Myths, Opinions

Description

This book rigorously surveys recent developments in the fields of energy, food, and enviroment, peeling back many of the myths and fallacies that have grown up around them. The author examines the major controversies shrouding these elements and analyzes the environmental consequences of obtaining sufficient energy and food by taking a close look at the three key biogeochemical cycles--carbon, nitrogen, and sulphur--most affected by human action.
