Abstract

This book seeks to identify what it is which impedes our progress in tackling environmental problems, be it disagreement on problems, goals and solutions, lack of scientific knowledge or appropriate education. By identifying the nature and interaction of technological,, economic, social and political barriers it makes these barriers into clearer targets for action in the endeavour to achieve a better environment
