Journals on Population and Environment

 

Title: Organisation & Environment International Journal of   Ecosocial Research

Editor: John M. Jermier, University of South Florida Tampa

Publisher: Sage Publications

An important and timely journal.... To insure the survival of our species and other species, and to preserve a world which will be worth inheriting, we must act now.  As academics, we need a journal to address these challenges.

     Many of us concerned with environmental issues routinely extol the virtues--- and expound the necessity of  multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives on complex environmental issues. Organization & Environment takes this call seriously. Issue by issue, it is proving itself to be a top quality resource and the most genuinely wide-ranging environmentally- related journal around.
