habitats.

Wildlife and People
The Human Dimension of Wildlife Ecology
Gary G. Gray
Gray maintains that the most fruitful approach to wildlife ecology grants coequality to wild animal population biology, teh

Last Child in the Woods
Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder
Richard Louv
Today's kids are increasingly disconnected from the natural world. Instead of passing summer months hiking, swimming and telling
stories around the campfire, children these days are more likely to attend computer camps or weight-loss camps: as a result,
Louv says, they've come to think of nature as more of an abstraction than a reality.
Sustainable Urban Design
An Environmental Approach
Randall Thomas, Editor
The writers focus on the physical aspects of the urban environment - the buildings and their engineering systems, landscaping,
transport systems, energy, water and waste systems and successfully cover all the key elements in one volume together with
fully illustrated examples of best practice.
