Conservation of Living Nature and Resources: Problems, Trends, and Prospects

(This book is based on our two books, published in the USS...)

This book is based on our two books, published in the USSR and translated in a number of other countries Conservation of living nature: problems and perspectives (1983) and The levels of conservation of living nature (1985). It differs from the vast majority of the numerous books on conservation and environment, which are mainly devoted either to specific problems of conservation of certain taxons, or to problems of conservation of prescribed regions, or to general issues of environmental conservation in toto, while the problems of the conservation of living nature are represented only to a small degree. Our book is one of the volumes - at present not numerous - that place a high value on the diversity ofliving nature as the basis for the existence and development of mankind on the Earth. Living nature, besides its own intrinsic value, at all times was, is now and will ever remain the sole, unique and indispensable resource and provider for mankind.

Biological Effects of Surfactants

(Understanding the role of aquatic biota and the impact of...)

Understanding the role of aquatic biota and the impact of pollution and chemical substances that enter aquatic ecosystems is crucial to the assessment, prevention, and remediation of damaged environments. Biological Effects of Surfactants synthesizes the most important findings from hundreds of articles and the author's current experiments on the biological effects of synthetic surfactants and detergents on individual organisms, populations, communities, and ecosystems. This book offers a new perspective of the hazards of pollution. The book draws upon concepts in hydrobiology, biogeochemical cycling, and the assimilative capacity of water-beyond the self-purification capabilities of bacteria and nutrient cycling-to examine the effects of anionic, non-ionic, and cationic surfactants as well as detergent mixtures on a wide range of organisms including bacteria, cyanobacteria, flagellates, algae, higher plants, and invertebrates. The author, a distinguished member of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, establishes new quantitative characteristics of the effects and presents study results reflecting newly discovered phenomena. While proposing and substantiating new priorities and approaches for testing, assessing, and characterizing the biological activities and hazards of substances, he illustrates how the data obtained can be used to develop effective environmental remediation and protection measures to improve water quality. Biological Effects of Surfactants lays an excellent foundation for scientists to explore how hazardous wastes are absorbed in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, determine what is required for remediation and restoring water quality, and design the best approach to counteract the toxic effects of manmade surfactants using biological methods, including phytoremediation.

Valuation of Ecological Resources: Integration of Ecology and Socioeconomics in Environmental Decision Making (Society of Enviromental Toxicology and Chemistry)

(Choosing the optimal management option requires environme...)

Choosing the optimal management option requires environmental risk managers and decision makers to evaluate diverse, and not always congruent, needs and interests of multiple stakeholders. Understanding the trade-offs of different options as well as their legal, economic, scientific, and technological implications is critical to performing accurate assessments and making sound decisions. Valuation of Ecological Resources: Integration of Ecology and Socioeconomics in Environmental Decision Making examines various alternatives for determining the “value” of complex ecological resources. The book discusses how ecology, sociology, and economics influence environmental management decisions. The book further explores the scientific underpinnings of ecological valuation and the roles of regulatory and legislative bodies in the decision-making process. A series of case studies demonstrates the utility of various information sets, tools, and analytical frameworks. Summarizes the conclusions reached by the Ecological Risk Assessment Advisory Group during special workshops conducted by the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) Written by leading experts from industry, academia, and environmental regulatory agencies, this new text is an excellent resource for self-study as well as for courses in industrial ecology, environmental management, ecological risk assessment, environmental policy, and strategies for sustainability and corporate responsibility.

Aprendo Ecología 3: Cartilla Ecológica (Spanish Edition)

(La educación ambiental se fundamenta en la formación de s...)

La educación ambiental se fundamenta en la formación de seres humanos con valores y actitudes que les permitan una activa y permanente participación en la conservación y protección de los recursos naturales. Desde este punto de vista se considera a la ecología como una ciencia que va encaminada al desarrollo de compromisos personales y sociales que lleven a proponer alternativas para cuidar el entorno y evitar los peligros que lo amenazan. La serie “APRENDO ECOLOGIA” pretende ser una herramienta de ayuda en este proceso de formación, y en ella se han reunido los estándares, competencias, contenidos y compromisos en la que maestros han dedicado su mejor esfuerzo, buscando entregar a la comunidad educativa un instrumento de apoyo para el proceso enseñanza-aprendizaje. La serie “APRENDO ECOLOGIA” tiene como propósito estimular en los estudiantes de la básica primaria la construcción de habilidades, actitudes y competencias científicas, y generar espacios de compromisos personales y con el entorno.
