This is the first complete description of how long into the future pollutants, the exploitation of natural resources and the transformation of the landscape will affect the earth?s environment. It could take thousands of years for lakes polluted with mercury to recover. There are many other examples here of how traces of mankind?s effect on the environment will remain for an inconceivably long time. The longer the recovery takes, the more important it is that we limit the negative effect we are having on the environment now. Educational in tone with diagrams and photographs. Monitor inspires debate and is useful as a textbook and a general overview of current environmental problems. Also available in Swedish.
