Nick Middleton returns to pit himself against the four most extreme environments on the planet in this paperback edition of the successful Surviving Extremes. The intrepid Oxford don, explorer and author of Going to Extremes is back, and he's set himself a challenge to cope with the worst that nature can throw at him in Surviving Extremes. Travelling to four of the most extreme natural environments: swamps, deserts, jungles and arctic wastelands, the question is, can he pick up enough tips from the indigenous people to hack it at the very edge of human existence, or will his mid latitude sensibilities forever let him down? This is Nick's account of how he had to put his body and mind to the test in a unique survival experiment. - The hardcover edition of the book, and its predecessor, Going to Exremes have currently sold over 20,000 copies.

The Global Casino: An Introduction to Environmental Issues

This text offers an introduction to environment issues which deals both with the working of the physical environment and the political, economic and social frameworks in which the issues occur. Using examples from all over the world, the book highlights the underlying causes behind environmental problems, the human actions which have made them issues, and the hopes for solutions. It is concerned with the human impact on the environment and the ways in which the natural environment impacts society. 18 chapters on key issues follow two initial chapters which outline the background contexts to the physical and human environments, and the book finishes with a chapter on conservation and sustainable development. Each chapter sets the issue within an historical context, outlines why the issue has arisen, highlights areas of controversy and uncertainty, and appraises how problems begin and can be resolved both technically and in political and economic frameworks.
