Summary

For many years a marginal concern confined to the science pages, the environmental debate is now firmly anchored in the mainstream. For every "green" point of view there exists a conflicting, skeptical position, leading to a bewildering hubbub of claim and counter-claim. Eco Logical!casts a considered, objective eye over today's most contentious environmental issues, including:Should we build more nuclear power plants?Has aviation been unfairly maligned? How can we enable developing nations to improve their standard of living, while curbing global greenhouse-gas emissions?For each subject, there's a succinct opening summary of the key arguments followed by a detailed examination of the subtleties of each position and a balanced conclusion that takes into account the merits of each case. For everyone concerned with the fate of planet Earth, here is the most telling information in a clear, unbiased text.
