Strongly grounded in the scientific method and evidence, The Environment: Science, Issues, and Solutions presents an organized, accessible, building block approach that introduces the principles of ecology. This book examines the effects of technology use and the unprecedented economic growth and development that has tipped the natural balance of the environment, resulting in serious local, regional, and global environmental problems. This comprehensive text explores the need for interrelated long-term solutions for the prevention and mitigation of environmental problems.

Ecology and Coal Resource Development, Volume One covers the proceedings of the International Congress for Energy and the Ecosystem, held at the University of North Dakota Grand Forks, North Dakota on June 12-16, 1978. The book focuses on the factors and considerations involved in the interrelation of ecology and coal resource development. The selection first tackles the U.S. coal development policy, coal''s response to the challenge in the national energy plan, coal utilization and supply, and the role of the Office of Surface Mining on combining energy and the environment. The book then examines the assessment of the effects of alternative public policies on western coal development; opencast coal mining and the environment in the United Kingdom; mining ecology and environmental problems of coal mining in Australia; and mining, dewatering, and environmental effects. The manuscript takes a look at combating pollution created by coal-burning generating plants in Yugoslavia; policy aspects of energy resource development on Indian lands; interactive computerized planning of surface coal mining operations; and simulation models for surface coal mine planning. The selection is a dependable reference material for scientists and researchers interested in the marriage of ecology and coal resource development.
