"This book is an attempt to document the impact of environmental concerns on general masses in recent years as expressed in many articles and documents published in recent decades that have modified conventional disciplines or led to new multidisciplinary arrangements, schools, and colleges. The studies presented describe environmental studies programs of both large and small colleges and universities, and encompass undergraduate general studies, varied graduate and professional programs, basic and applied research, and extension and continuing education. The main purpose of this book is to make people aware of the methods to avoid the hazards and harms of disasters." (jacket)
