Abstract: "Drawing on the arts, religion, and the full range of sciences, The Environment and Science is an invaluable resource for all those who wish to understand the most pressing scientific and environmental issues facing humankind. Of interest to students of the humanities and the sciences, this work explains in an accessible manner the complex interplay between scientific inquiry and public perceptions of the environment over the past 400 years. With scientists seemingly divided, many laypeople have struggled to understand environmental issues. Now this work aims to bridge the gap, and provide a guide based on classic scientific texts and the very latest research."--Jacket.
