The Global
Casino
is
an
introduction to environmental issues which deals both with the workings of
the physical environment and the political, economic and social frameworks in which the issues
occur. Using examples from all over the world, the book highlights the underlying causes behind
environmental problems, the human actions which have made them issues, and the hopes for
solutions. It is a book about the human impact on the environment and the ways in which the
natural environment impacts human society.
The fifth edition has been fully revised and updated throughout, with new case studies,
figures,
and online resources such as downloadable figures and tables from the text and multiple choice
questions for students. New topics covered in extended boxed case studies include payment for
environmental services, ocean acidification, biofuels in Brazil, waste reduction through industrial
symbiosis, and the long-term impact of natural disasters on vulnerable groups. Other approaches
and concepts covered for the first time in this new edition include traditional ecological knowledge,
environmental justice, the resource curse and urban biodiversity. Eighteen chapters on key issues
follow three initial chapters which outline the background contexts of the physical and human
environments and the concept of sustainable development. Each chapter provides historical
context for key issues, outlines why they have arisen, and highlights areas of controversy and
uncertainty to appraise how issues can be resolved both technically and in political and economic
frameworks. Each chapter also contains an updated critical guide to further reading and websites,
as well as discussion points and essay questions. The text can be read in its entirety or individual
chapters adopted as standalone reading.
This is an essential resource for students of the environment, geography, earth sciences and
development studies. It provides comprehensive and inspirational coverage of all the major global
environmental issues of the day in a style that is clear and critical.
