Africa's
Vanishing Wildlife
Chris Stuart, Tilde Stuart
Arranged according to groups
of all Africa's animals. For each of the animals examined and photographed
(e.g., savanna elephants, black rhinoceros, or Ethiopian wolves),
vital statistics are included along with the number still surviving,
present dangers, and maps that illustrate how their populations
have decreased. Africa has the fastest growing earth human population,
and most of the problems facing its ecosystem are caused by humans:
overpopulation, disease, deforestation, desertification due to overgrazing,
and introduced species.The authors of this book, believe that the
only way to help the vanishing wildlife "is to increase economic
wealth and stability, which will lead to a drop in the birth rate.

Marine
Pollution
Chris
Frid, Martin Attrill, Robert Clark
This new edition provides
a balanced account of what wastes are discharged into the sea or
get there accidentally, what happens to them when they get there,
the effect they have on the marine environment, and the threats
they present to human health. As well as being completely updated,
case histories have been replaced by more recent ones, and the whole
book has been given a greater international emphasis. This new edition
has a new chapter to explain techniques for measuring change in
the marine environment, extended further reading, and more emphasis
on tropical seas. It is designed as an introductory text but no
particular knowledge is demanded of the reader; it can be used by
engineers, economists, lawyers, or environmentalists who need to
be informed about the effects of materials that are deliberately
or accidentally discharged into the sea.
