Berkshire Encyclopedia of Sustainability Vol. 4

<i>Natural Resources and Sustainability</i> explores how human needs and desires, from sustenance and shelter to recreation and travel, have spurred the consumption of Earths material resources. Scientists, ecologists, and other expert authors present the historical impact of commercial activities (in industries as varied as fisheries, agriculture, energy, and mineral extraction), discuss the global distribution and use of renewable and nonrenewable resources, and focus on innovative approaches for the future. Readers will learn why renewal doesnt necessarily put a resource beyond harmand why the no-free-lunch adage applies to all natural resources.
