Future Environments of North America

This classic work in ecology brings together thirty-four ecologists, regional planners, economists, jurists, and conservationists to probe the exact nature of the pressures on the North American continent and explore the possibilities for solution. In individual articles and in six vigorous debates the contributors explore the limits of the strained balance between man and nature. They gauge the potential productivity of the various regions, evaluate ecological criteria in regional planning and trace the anatomy of the decision-making process as it affects our relationship to the environment.
