Résumé
The volume presents the basic concepts of ecological study and focuses on the interlinkages between environment and economics. It covers a range of issues relating to conflicting paradigms of ecology and economics, components of the ecosystem, biogeochemical cycles, population, environment, and sustainability of economic development.
