For ecologists it will bridge the gap to economics. For practitioners in environmental economics and management it will be a major reference book. It probably contains the largest collection available of expressions and basic equations that are used in environmental sciences. Applying these expressions as \"rules-of-thumb\" will give participants in a decision-making process a common platform for discussion and arbitration. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo make the text comfortable to read, the book is organized in disciplines, but it also includes 13 applications that draw on all subjects in the book, and where cross-references are extensively used. The applications that range from siting of paper mills to wilderness management show how a range of topics in economics, social sciences and ecology are interrelated when decisions have to be made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe third chapter is called \"Getting started\". It shows how to carry out a complete environmental screening study in one day, much like the computer manuals that get you going from the first day. We believe that raising a platform for environmental decision-making puts issues into their right perspective, it is fun, and it lets an individual contribute to society’s understanding of the environment in a very short while.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2006-10-12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781402040733\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4020-5067-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 496\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47381659811980,"sku":"9781402040733","price":161.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781402040733.jpg?v=1775747082","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781402040733","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
