A broad introduction to waste and its management
Myra J. Hird’s overview maps waste across its forms, major producers and systems of management, from local practices to regional and global approaches. It also examines how those approaches can contribute to the creation of further waste, connecting disposal and management choices with environmental and human-health concerns. The wide-ranging scope makes the subject legible as both a practical issue and an ecological one.
Based on publisher information and book metadata.
