Monique Mainguet Book order

Following the UNCED in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, this second edition delves into the critical environmental discussions and agreements that emerged from the conference. It examines the impact of global policies on sustainable development, highlighting the interplay between economic growth and ecological preservation. The book features updated insights, case studies, and analyses that reflect the ongoing challenges and progress in addressing environmental issues on an international scale.

At the intersection of environmental science and human biology, this book deals with dry ecosystems, the societies so affected, and the inventiveness of those living under such conditions. It also tries to answer the question of whether long-lasting development is possible in dry environments.
