Product Information
Science is vital in informing the increasingly urgent and complex environmental decisions that affect all our lives, from international agreements on action to limit climate change to decisions on growing genetically modified crops. It is clear, however, that many environmental decisions are taken in the face of scientific uncertainty or ignorance, and involve questions of politics and ethics that go beyond science. Science alone cannot answers such questions as Are the risks of nuclear power acceptable? and Why should we conserve wild species? Science and Environmental Decision Making explores the use and limitations of science in helping to answer environmental questions, emphasising the importance of ethics, politics and sociology in the decision making process. Starting with the question What is meant by a scientific explanation? , the first three chapters provide a simple introduction to the philosophy and sociology of science and the importance of these fields to environmental scientists. They explain the logic of testing ideas in science and look at some of the absolute limits of scientific explanation, showing how value judgements inevitably influence scientific work, before exploring commercial and political influences on science. Chapters 4-10 show how these themes are relevant in case studies ranging from genetic engineering in agriculture to conservation, marine eutrophication and the use of models, and radiation protection. Each chapter is written by a researcher active in the area and begins with an editorial introduction highlighting the major themes illustrated by the case study. Features * A guide to the role of science in environmental decision making linked to topical case studies * Provides a concise introduction to the philosophy and sociology of science * Reviews implications of scientific uncertainty for key issues such as climate change * Case studies include genetic engineering in agriculture, fisheries management and radiation protection * Themes include coping with environmental risk and the importance of values This book is aimed at students of ecology, environmental science, environmental management and geography. It will also be useful reading for sociology students who study how the science is applied.Dr Mark Huxham is a Lecturer in Environmental Biology at Napier University and Dr David Sumner is an Associate Lecturer at the Open University, UK. Case study chapters are written by a range of specialist contributors.

Thank you so much, 5 stars again!!!
- d***5 (488)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufArrived well packed and just as described - but without CD which should have been inside the outer cover. It was obviously an oversight by seller. I contacted seller who immediately gave me full refund - within 2 minutes of my email! - and told me to keep the book. This is exceptional service and went above and beyond what is expected. Thank You so much 👍Teeline for Journalists,Dawn Johnston (Nr. 132647011039)
