Summary, etc. The basis of economic development is in the sustainable and productive use of natural resources for human welfare. In contrast to the widely held perception that there is a trade-off between economic development and environmental protection, the two can be and often are linked positively. While many early societies seem to have functioned under the assumption of limited resources, which must be managed for posterity, more recent societies, particularly during the Industrial Era, have been premised on the notion that development, progress, and human welfare are ultimately grounded in the control and exploitation of the natural environment.<br/><br/>The contributors to this volume explore the link between human welfare and the natural environment, document the human effects of specific environmental problems, and illustrate the implications for social work policy, practice, and education. The relationship between human welfare and the natural environment has been the subject of countless studies, yet, until recently, few social workers have directed their attention to this fundamental linkage. This book helps fill that gap.<br/><br/>Social work, which is fundamentally concerned with the betterment of the human condition, has been historically preoccupied with individuals and families in their social environment. Recognizing that many of the ills that befall our clientele are rooted in the relationships between people and families within their micro-environments, our field's best thinkers have too often limited their explorations of welfare to this sphere of human activity. In a broader orbit, others have also examined the linkages between the economy, social structure, and welfare. With human well-being as our central concern, a primary social work preoccupation has been the analysis of psychosocial factors.
