that was once a gap is now bridged by The Environmentalist.
This journal acts as a catalyst for environmental education,
identifying available educational opportunities, and providing
necessary guidelines and the missing framework for defining
the more viable management mechanisms useful to industry, governmental
policy-makers and environmental professionals. The Environmentalist
publishes the critical but constructive views of both industrialists
and ecologists, through challenging guest editorials, in-depth
articles, interviews and news and comments columns. The Environmentalist

interprets global environmental change to mean the outcome of

risk, and resilience, science policy, international development,
and health and well-being."
Global
Environmental Change. Part B, Environmental Hazards
"Environmental Hazards is an innovative, interdisciplinary
and international research journal addressing the human and
policy dimensions of hazards. The journal addresses the full
range of hazards events from extreme geological, hydrological,
atmospheric and biological events such as earthquakes, floods,
storms and epidemics to technological failures and malfunctions
such as industrial explosions, fires and toxic material releases.
Environmental Hazards will be the source of the new ideas in
hazards and risk research. With a genuinely international perspective,
this journal will highlight issues of human exposure, vulnerability,
awareness, response and risk. Well known conventional hazards
will receive extensive coverage but submissions about new forms
of hazard, emerging risk management institutions and the restructuring
of ideas about hazards - including their role in human affairs
- are particularly welcome."
