Synopsis
The Aral Sea basin, located in the central Asian part of the former Soviet Union, is undergoing dramaticallly rapid and intense environmental change. Pervasive human misuse and overuse of its water, land and other critical natural resources have led to severe degredation of key ecological systems. This work analyzes the environmental, human and economic problems that have arisen and presents recommendations for future research need. The primary focus is on the drying of the Aral Sea, but related issues of diminished river flow, land and water pollution, and degredation, ecosystem deterioration and adverse effects on humans are also examined.

Hard Cover. Etat : Very Good. No Jacket. First Edition. Once the Aral Sea was the fourth-largest lake in the world, until its river sources were diverted by the USSR for agriculture; after the breakup of the Soviet Union, Uzbek programs depleted it further. Now it is a premier example of man-made climate crisis: by the time of publication, it had shrunk by half; it is now about a tenth its former size. The book publishes papers related to a 1994 NATO workshop in Tashkent exploring the problem, its effects, and ways to monitor the situation. Slim hardcover, as pictured; no jacket, as issued. Light wear with a little tanning, name label on free endsheet, minor crease to spine, tiny nicks to corners. Text clean; xii, 186 pages + 2 pages publisher's ad & environmental statement; index, figures, references, maps. Size: Octavo. N° de réf. du vendeur w0304
