Back cover: A Child's Perception
of War by Aysel
Jahangirova, 13. Note the tanks and missiles on the shoulders
of the grieving woman.
For the first time in
history, an English-language publication dedicates an entire
issue to the ecological problems of Azerbaijan. Major environmental
problems are identified, beginning with the lack of a safe water
supply, to oil pollution, deforestation, chemical emission from
factories, the rising level of the Caspian Sea and more. See
"Overview"
for ten major areas
of environmental concerns.
