Over the course of half a century, Gilbert F. White's work has served to shape and, in several instances, establish many of the fields that have come to be known as the environmental sciences. In this collection of original essays, a companion volume to White's selected writings (volume I), leading scholars in areas such as water supply, environmental hazards, and natural resource management interpret changes in these fields since White's work and assess present and future problems. With volume 1, this collection presents a complete and cogent picture of Gilbert White's contribution and the work he inspired.

In Cultural Encounters with the Environment, a distinguished group of contributors offers a fresh and original view of contemporary geography. The authors explore the role of four traditional themes in the Onew cultural geographyO: the interplay between the evolution of particular biophysical niches and the activities of the culture groups that inhabit them; the diffusion of cultural traits; the establishment and definition of culture areas; and the distinctive mix of geographical characteristics that gives places their special character in relation to one another. By examining how cultural space is constructed; how environment is remade, understood, and imaged as a consequence; and how people lay claim to place, this volume establishes a compelling case for the importance of these enduring concepts to present and future trajectories in cultural geography.

First published in 1994. This book comprises a second edition of Human Geography, behavioural approaches, first published in 1984. The first edition attempted to synthesize the massive volume of geographical literature to have appeared mainly since 1960 concerned with both how people come to know the environment in which they live and with the way in which such knowledge influences subsequent ‘spatial behaviour’. As with the first edition, the rationale for, advantages of, and shortcomings with behavioural approaches are explored at length in both substantive chapters and in a number of detailed examinations of particular aspects of life in advanced Western society.

"There are a minimal number of research studies focusing on the perception of the residents in highly polluted neighborhoods. Furthermore, not many studies exist that use a qualitative approach to evaluate how local residents perceive their own neighborhood's pollution issues. By studying the Hegewisch neighborhood in Chicago, I have expanded the understanding of the different perspectives of pollutants in the local environment, and how those pollutants have impacted the experienced health and well-being of residents. The methodology of this research utilizes a qualitative case study approach and relies on resident interviews regarding the perceived effects of environmental issues on their community. The main concerns among the interviewees revolved around five different pollution issues existing in Hegewisch and its surrounding neighborhoods- petcoke, steel slag, landfills, manganese, and odor pollution. The findings of this study show the difference in perception between age groups as well as gender groups. Based on age, the majority of the older generation was more concerned with steel slag and landfills. The majority of the younger generation was more concerned with petcoke and manganese. General well-being and health issues are main concerns expressed among the majority of interviewees across the demographic group. The female participants were overwhelmingly more bothered by odor pollution than the male participants. In conclusion, the majority of interviewees agree that their quality of life is diminished due to a variety of pollutions in the Hegewisch neighborhood."--

As the world's population exceeds an incredible 6 billion people, governmentsâ€"and scientistsâ€"everywhere are concerned about the prospects for sustainable development. The science academies of the three most populous countries have joined forces in an unprecedented effort to understand the linkage between population growth and land-use change, and its implications for the future. By examining six sites ranging from agricultural to intensely urban to areas in transition, the multinational study panel asks how population growth and consumption directly cause land-use change, and explore the general nature of the forces driving the transformations. Growing Populations, Changing Landscapes explains how disparate government policies with unintended consequences and globalization effects that link local land-use changes to consumption patterns and labor policies in distant countries can be far more influential than simple numerical population increases. Recognizing the importance of these linkages can be a significant step toward more effective environmental management.
