"W. McLennan, Australian Statistician".
"... the second ABS compendium publication of environment statistics. The first, released in 1992, was titled Australia's environment, issues and facts" --Pref.
Includes tables.
Includes bibliographical references, and index.
The report presents statistical information on the relationship between human activities and the environment. The new organisational structure introduced for this edition is particularly suited to providing a sustainable development perspective on the subject. The chapters examine the influences of people on the environment, the influences of the economy on the environment, the influences of environmental processes on the economy and society. While much of the information on human activities is drawn from the databases of the ABS, the report also contains a variety of information from other agencies on characteristics of the natural environment.
