Книга "Альтернативная экологическая оценка риска" Лоуренса В. Танненбаума - это критический обзор текущих практик в области экологической оценки риска и предложение альтернатив, которые поддерживаются установленной наукой и глубоким наблюдением. Автор надеется, что такой подход откроет путь к большему пониманию того, что должна включать в себя адекватная и полезная экологическая оценка для загрязненных участков. Он демонстрирует, что в большинстве случаев текущие практики не предоставляют оценку экологического риска, и более того, что стремление оценить экологический риск на обычных опасных отходах является излишним занятием. (Он утверждает, например, что практики часто игнорируют масштаб, задает вопрос, почему животные, такие как олени, регулярно оцениваются на участках площадью 5 акров, и оспаривает используемые сейчас экотоксикологические данные). Книга предназначена для студентов и профессионалов в области экологии, экотоксикологии, оценки рисков для здоровья и окружающей среды.
Book Review: Alternative Ecological Risk Assessment (Hardcover) by Lawrence V.Tannenbaum
Environmental science and public health lie at the forefront of research interests today, fueled by a growing awareness of the interlinks between air we breathe, water we drink, and food we eat. With a range of new options and regulations popping up, it's quite remarkable how difficult it can be for informed decision-makers to discern what is happening—and what they should be doing—in the sphere of pollution prevention and cleanup operation.
In her book, Alternative Ecological Risk Assessment: Defending the Earth through Holistic Assessment of Environmental Wastes (Hardcover), Lawrence V. TANENBAUM—spending such an effort on producing a clear guidebook for today's greens and protective agencies calls their attention to several challenges all around us today. The entries are written through a simple yet powerful medium, making it perfectly suited for both the literature-savvy individual as well as those new to the subject matter. But first, let's take a closer look at TANENBAUMS superbly edited book.
TANNENBAUM produces a well-organized, highlyさせた、気軽と、参考文書の中核的に位置づけていることは、振る舞い方も読みやすい表現も同時に現在の保健環境に対する解決策を考えさせることもあります。Good guide to proper evaluation methods, differentiating various assessments, and proposing alternative methods with an eye to protecting the environment and human health focuses TOTALLY ON HOW ECOLOGICAL AND RISK ASSESSMENT COMPONENTS CAN PERFORM BETTER. Sticking to common sense and myth-busting techniques dominate throughout most chapters, with her challenging views frequently being followed up by scientific references to back up each opinion. Look forward to reading fellow climate change researchers and decision makers share this book with guidance at their fingertips.

Описание книги от Lawrence V. Tannenbaum
In Alternative Ecological Risk Assessment the author, Lawrence V. Tannenbaum, provides a critical review of current practices in the ecological risk assessment field and proposes alternatives that are supported by established science and keen observation. It is hoped that this approach will pave the way to a greater understanding of what appropriate and useful ecological assessment for contaminated sites should entail. He demonstrates that in most cases current practices do not provide for an assessment of ecological risk, and moreover, that endeavoring to assess ecological risk is actually an unnecessary undertaking at conventional hazardous waste sites. (He states, for example, that the concept of scale is often ignored by practitioners, questions why animals like deer are routinely assessed at 5-acre sites, and challenges the ecotoxicology data currently used.) The book is aimed at students and professionals in the fields of environmental science, ecology, ecotoxicology, and health risk assessment.
