This book brings together some of the world's leading experts to discuss various techniques of management and amelioration of environmental problems. Individual chapters look at issues such as energy, agriculture, water shortages, pollution, health, and environmental business opportunities. While this book shows that there is lots of room for optimism, it also indicates that many environmental problems remain intractable and some are worsening.

Studies on Contemporary China series. "In the coming decades environmental issues will play an increasing role in China's economic development drive, internal politics, legal development, international relations, and regional development issues. While several books have appeared in the 1990s which describe tangible aspects of China's environmental degradation, this book concentrates on management of China's environment within various contexts and represents the state of thinking on the subject by some of the world's key experts in this field. It provides an international perspective on environmental problems in China which is often lacking. Chapters discuss environmental degradation in Chinese history, the organization of China's environmental protection network, the legal framework for environmental protection, agricultural land issues, water issues, biodiversity, energy, pollution, public health, and business opportunities for foreign firms. Wile this book shows that there is much room for optimism, it also indicates that many environmental problems remain intractable and some are worsening." Listing updated 2-1-2006.
