Europe's Environment: The Dobris Assessment Gov Docs Section 2

This book is awesome!! If you are looking for anything pertaining to Europe, look here first. It covers environmental problems relating to air, inland waters, the seas, soil, landscapes, nature and wildlife, the urban environment, human health, population production and consumption, exploitation of natural resources, emissions, waste, noise and radiation, chemicals and genetically modified organisms, natural and technological hazards, energy industry, transport, agriculture, forestry, fishing and aquaculture, tourism and recreation, and households. It breaks everything down as pressures and human related activities, and then describes the problems and consequences of each action.

One of the appendixes, (it is attached) lists each category and the information strengths and weaknesses. This book is a great place to get started and to find out basic causes of environmental problems!!
