In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

This book series springs from public awareness of and concern about the effects of technology on the environment. Its purpose is to publish the most informative and provocative work emerging from research and reflection, work that will place these issues in an historical context, define the current nature of the debates, and anticipate the direction of future arguments about the complex relationships between technology and the environment. The scope of the series is broad, as befits its subject. No single academic discipline embraces all of the knowledge needed to explore the manifold ways in which technology and the environment work with and against each other. Volumes in the series will examine the subject from multiple perspectives based in the natural sciences, the social sciences, and the humanities. These studies are meant to stimulate, clarify, and influence the debates taking place in the classroom, on the floors of legislatures, and at international conferences. Addressed not only to scholars and policymakers, but also to a wider audience, the books in this series speak to a public that seeks to understand how its world will be changed, for ill and for good, by the impact of technology on the environment. xi Series Preface This page intentionally left blank ...
