Economic Growth Versus the Environment by J Cherni

Judith A. Cherni presents a critical text of interdisciplinary research and a theoretical argued case for analyzing a physical/social problem with a political economic approach. The author identifies the convergence of global economic growth trends and the localization of environmental and health risks. Backed by scientific findings, she challenges the exclusive use of the natural sciences for explanation. Drawing also on participatory knowledge of local residents, she uses an original database of a large household survey in Houston, US.

'..general readers, undergraduate and graduate students, and researchers...will find this volume of some use.' - A.A. Batabyal, Choice

JUDITH A. CHERNI is Fellow Research Lecturer at the Department of the Environment and Technology, Imperial College, London. She has published book chapters and articles on globalization, modern risks, and local change.
