Uno de los problemas más acuciantes a los que se enfrenta cualquier sociedad desarrollada, es el de la generación de residuos. En líneas generales se podría establecer una relación dramáticamente directa entre la generación de residuos y el nivel de desarrollo de cualquier país. La sociedad en general, y los agentes económicos y sociales que en ella participan en particular, se enfrentan a legislaciones cada vez más estrictas y complejas que es necesario conocer en profundidad, para poder desarrollar sus funciones dentro de un contexto de armonía con el Medio Ambiente. La Unión Europea, cada uno de sus Estados Miembros, las Comunidades Autónomas y aún los Ayuntamientos, cada día más sensibilizados ante el problema de los residuos, emiten leyes, decretos o normas de muy compleja armonización, que demandan la utilización de herramientas jurídico-técnicas cuyo conocimiento se hace día a día más necesario. El libro es precisamente una de esas herramientas "de última generación" que Carmen Bautista Parejo ha elaborado brillantemente. Es un libro destinado a convertirse en elemento de consulta imprescindible para todos los interesados en temas medioambientales. Un libro de cabecera para el especialista, pero también una guía clara y amena para el estudiante o el lector simplemente preocupado. Carmen Bautista, Profesora de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, une a su sólida formación como Bióloga una larga experiencia como jurista especializada en temas medioambientales. Una síntesis que ha producido decenas de libros, conferencias y artículos sobre estos temas, que le han convertido en uno de los más prolijos y prestigiosos autores internacionales en esta materia.

Food production remains the highest agricultural priority, subject to the constraint that it be done in harmony with nature, or at least with minimum environmental pollution. The amount of fertilizer applied can be controlled using modern application techniques, including soil and crop management, guaranteeing higher economic profit and lower environmental cost. It is in such a context that the present book addresses the efficient and rational use of mineral and organic fertilizers while preserving environmental quality. The book discusses the impact on surface and groundwaters, soils and crops, and experience of nitrate leaching, denitrification, ammonia volatilization, heavy metal pollution, agricultural and urban waste management, and international and national legislation. Audience: Agronomists, environmentalists, soil and food chemists, ecologists, policy makers, and managers in the fertilizer industry concerned with the trend of public opinion.

The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

Reflecting a global trend, scores of countries have affirmed that their citizens are entitled to healthy air, water, and land and that their constitution should guarantee certain environmental rights. This book examines the increasing recognition that the environment is a proper subject for protection in constitutional texts and for vindication by constitutional courts. This phenomenon, which the authors call environmental constitutionalism, represents the confluence of constitutional law, international law, human rights, and environmental law. National apex and constitutional courts are exhibiting a growing interest in environmental rights, and as courts become more aware of what their peers are doing, this momentum is likely to increase. This book explains why such provisions came into being, how they are expressed, and the extent to which they have been, and might be, enforced judicially. It is a singular resource for evaluating the content of and hope for constitutional environmental rights.
