About the Book

This debate-style reader is designed to introduce students to controversies in environmental policy and science. The readings, which represent the arguments of leading environmentalists, scientists, and policymakers, reflect a variety of viewpoints and are staged as "pro" and "con" debates. Issues are organised around four core areas: general philosophical and political issues, the environment and technology, disposing of wastes, and the environment and the future.

Table of Contents:
Part 1 General philosophical and political issues: issue 1 - should a price be put on the goods and services provided by the world's ecosystems?; issue 2 - does wilderness have intrinsic value?; issue 3 - is the US Endangered Species Act fundamentally sound?; issue 4 - is the precautionary principle a sound basis for environmental policy?; issue 5 - does environmental regulation unnecessarily limit private property rights?; issue 6 - should environmental policy attempt to cure environmental racism? issue 7 - is limiting population growth a key factor in protecting the global environment?; issue 8 - will pollution rights trading effectively control environmental problems? Part 2 The environment and technology: issue 9 - should pollution prevention and reduction be a focus of agricultural policy?; issue 10 - is biotechnology an environmentally sound way to increase food production?; issue 11 - do environmental hormone mimics pose a potentially serious health threat?; issue 12 - is the environmental protection agency's decision to tighten air quality standards for ozone and particulates justified? Part 3 Disposing of wastes: issue 13 - hazardous waste - should the "Polluter Pays" provision of superfund be weakened?; issue 14 - municipal waste - is recycling an environmentally and economically sound waste management strategy?; issue 15 - nuclear waste - should the United States continue to focus plans for permanent nuclear waste disposal exclusively at Yucca Mountain?; Part 4 The environment and the future: issue 16 - is sustainable development compatible with human welfare?; issue 17 - will voluntary action by industry reduce the need for future environmental regulation?; issue 18 - are aggressive international efforts needed to slow global warming?; issue 19 - are major changes needed to avert a global environmental crisis?
