About this book

How successfully we tackle our environmental problems will depend on the next generation of environmental professionals - professionals who need to know where and how they can put their skills to work. For recent college graduates, volunteers, career counselors, career changers, and young professionals, this is the most complete source available on environmental career opportunities. Since the initial publication of The Complete Guide to Environmental Careers - which has sold more than 35,000 copies - the need for practical information on environmental career opportunities has grown tremendously. The New Complete Guide to Environmental Careers is an entirely revised and updated edition that provides readers with an invaluable overview of the entire spectrum of careers in the environmental field. While retaining the personal narratives and breadth of information that made The Complete Guide so valuable, The New Complete Guide features a new, easy-to-read format and includes more statistical data, more information about educational paths to specific careers, new and expanded case studies, and more in-depth analyses of environmental careers. In addition to individual chapters on a variety of fields, the book contains general job-hunting information, covering topics such as education, internships, volunteer programs, and career strategies. Established in 1972, the Environmental Careers Organization (formerly the CEIP Fund) is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting the environment through the promotion of careers, the development of professionals, and the inspiration of individual action. Over the past twenty years, ECO has launched more than 4,600 careers by providing paid, short-term environmental jobs at hundreds of agencies, corporations, consulting firms, and nonprofit organizations.

Applied ecology and environmental management

Edward I. Newman

"This book explains ways in which ecological science can be applied to solving some of the most crucial problems facing our world today. A major theme is how resources can be managed effectively and exploited in as near a sustainable manner as possible. The author draws together, in a single volume, major topics in environmental and resource management that traditionally have been dispersed amongst several different books. Applied Ecology starts with an analysis of our planet's basic natural resources - energy, water and soil; it moves on to the management of biological resources - fish, grazing lands and forests, and then to pest control and pollution; finally, the book tackles conservation and management of wild species and the restoration of ecological communities." "This book is aimed primarily at undergraduate students taking courses in applied ecology, environmental science, environmental management and natural resources management. The author has extensive experience as a university teacher. Like his lectures, this book is scientifically rigorous yet clear and easy to understand."--Jacket.
