The field is designed to moderate, if not eliminate, the stresses we inflict upon the world's ecosystems. To do this effectively, a systems approach must be employed to maximize the sustainability of our efforts and improve the long-term health our environment. This book addresses the questions of how and why knowledge and understanding of the physical, chemical, and biological principles of the environment must be achieved for the effective development of biotechnology applications.
