‘Ecological Issues’ Series
A non-specialist? Find all you need in the Ecological Issues publications. 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.
