In his fourth book, Federico Paolini presents a series of essays ranging from the uses of natural resources, to environmental problems caused by means of transport, to issues concerning environmental politics and the dynamics of the environment movement. Paolini concludes the book with a forecast about the environmental problems that will emerge in the public debate of the twenty-first century"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Urbanization $x History. $z Italy $x History. 651 0 $a Italy $x History. $x History. 650 7 $a Ecology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901476 650 7 $a Urbanization $x Environmental aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01162728 651 7 $a Italy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204565 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a History of the urban environment 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200806022922.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=68EA1AE8BC2911EAAC3CDF0297128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
