The Further Reading sections accompanying the essays have all been updated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEncyclopedia of Environmental Issues contains alphabetically arranged articles that range in length from 300 to 3,000 words. They cover a wide variety of topics, including endangered animal species, air pollution, national parks, environmental legislation, oil spills, alternative energy sources, and global climate change. In recognition of the fact that people spend an overwhelming proportion of their time in human-made environments, essays also cover such topics as sick building syndrome, noise pollution, smog, and urban planning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach essay begins with a category subhead and the definition of the topic, along with any relevant dates. A brief summary of the environmental significance of the topic follows. Each article of more than 300 words has a list of suggested further readings to aid students who are seeking resources for more in-depth information on the topic at hand. All articles are accompanied by cross-references to related articles in the set, and every article is signed by the academics and other experts who wrote them. The title also includes nearly numerous photographs, charts, graphs, tables, and maps that illuminate the events and concepts detailed in the essays.","brand":"Salem Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47157594620144,"sku":"2940014198653","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014198653_p0.jpg?v=1763602753","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014198653","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
