Description

Environmental Management: A Multidisciplinary Approach is a comprehensive academic textbook that explores the complex interrelationship between human development and ecological sustainability through an interdisciplinary lens. Authored by Ijeoma Georgiana Ayuba, Chineme Christabel Ifuwe, and Ache Stella Achuenu, this volume integrates perspectives from environmental science, urban planning, geoinformatics, architecture, environmental health, and geography to present a unified framework for addressing contemporary environmental challenges.

The book covers a wide spectrum of topics, from foundational ecological principles and climate change science to geospatial technologies, urban resilience, sustainable architecture, environmental ethics, and environmental law. Each chapter is enriched with visual aids such as infographics, flowcharts, and case studies—most notably from the Global South, including Nigeria’s Niger Delta and Eko Atlantic City—providing both global and context-specific relevance.

Designed for students, educators, policymakers, researchers, and practitioners, this textbook not only delves into the theory and evolution of environmental management but also offers practical tools, policy frameworks, and real-world applications. It emphasizes integrated planning, environmental justice, participatory governance, and the use of innovative technologies like GIS and remote sensing.
