'Ecological Issues' Series
A non-specialist? Find all you need in the Ecological Issuespublications. These publications introduce the scientific evidence behind current ecological issues.
Each of the booklets deals with one topic and represents work by a specially convened group of experts working in that field.
The series grew out of concern within the Society that a lack of information could lead to contention rather than constructive action at the time when many ecological issues are being considered in economic, social and political domains.
