I have used The Principles of Environmental Management - The Greening of Business - to prepare lectures for my course in Environmental Management. I found this book to be very well organized to meet the needs of students who wished to pursue a career in environmental management. The book is broken into three parts. Part One opens with the basic concepts and environmental issues that plaque us today. It examines among other things social responsibilities and environmental ethics. My favorite chapter in this part deals with the policy-making process. Part Two examines major environmental problems such as Global Warming, Ozone problems, Air Pollution, Water Pollution etc. The nice thing about the book is that it looks at the global aspect of environmental problems - Nice because we are now more interdependent than ever before. In this same part, Buchholz looks at Third World problems such as Deforestation and Species Decimation. Part Three of the book tries to advance some solutions to the environmental problems we face. Excellent, is the real life case studies which have been put at the end of the book. An excellent piece of work.
