Summary
Summary
In 1984, the Conference on Environmental Quality, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the National Science Foundation, convend a series of panel meetings to discuss long-term environmental issues. Environmental Monitoring, Assessment, and Management is the result of that prestigious conference. Drawing on contributions from nationally recognized scientists and experts from industry and government, this collection of papers will help to redirect long-term environmental research and development.

Choice Review
This volume is based upon work supported by the Council on Environmental Quality and the National Science Foundation for the project on long-term environmental research and development. Rather than presenting exhaustive reviews of the literature or original empirical research, the chapters present a broad-brush view of what the future research needs are. The authors are highly qualified, and topics covered include development of databases, improving data analysis, the role of risk analysis, ecological modeling, the role of interdisciplinary research in natural resource management, and control of industrial pollution. The charts and bibliographies are useful; the printing is of high quality. The audience for this book may include both students and faculty who are seeking interesting topics for theses, dissertations, and research grant proposals; it should find a place in libraries serving advanced undergraduates in the environmental sciences.-M.T. Katzman, University of Texas at Dallas
