ABOUT THIS BOOK
Environmental Restoration is the product of a ground-breaking conference on ecological restoration, held in January 1988 at the University of California, Berkeley. It offers an overview from the nation's leading experts of the most current techniques of restoration, including examples of the complex and subtle biological interactions we must understand to ensure success.
Chapters cover restoration of agricultural lands, barrens, coastal ecosystems, prairies, and range lands. Additional sections address temperate forests and watersheds, mined lands, soil bioengineering, urban issues including waste treatment and solid, toxic, and radioactive waste management. The book also covers restoration of aquatic systems, includes chapters on strategic planning and land acquisition, and provides examples of successful projects.
AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY
John J. Berger, executive director of "Restoring The Earth", is a graduate of Stanford University with a master's degree in energy and resources from the University of California, Berkeley. He has written on restoration and other science topics for Audubon, Omni, Sierra, The Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe, and has published with Knopft, Random House, Doubleday, and Ramparts Press. John Berger previously founded and directed two nonprofit organizations: Alternative Features Service, Inc.; and the ongoing Nuclear Information and Resource Service of Washington, D.C. Founded in 1978, this nonprofit group provides information and services on alternative energy to citizen energy groups and to the media, while monitoring developments in nuclear power regulation and siting.
