Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Almost two-thirds of the 30 papers (all previously published are new to this third edition (previous eds.: 1972 & 1977), reflecting shifts in the focus of the field, in particular toward problems of the global environment; the ten papers carried over have withstood the test of time. Access to such source material is invaluable as the voices of the main contenders speak more provocatively than any textbook. An index should have been supplied.
