Editorial Reviews

Argues that environmental cooperation in Europe requires accounting for the many variations in economic, technical, and institutional resources among the countries; and a willingness of the resource-rich countries to shoulder a larger share of the burden. The 20 papers, from a conference in Vienna in November 1991, include discussions of overall political topics and perspective on and from the different countries and regions of eastern, western, Mediterranean, and Nordic Europe. No index and variable bibliographies. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
