Lessons for Climate Change 

Adaptation from Better 

Management of Rivers 

Edited by Jamie Pittock 

Climate change is dramatically affecting freshwater 

supplies, particularly in the developing world. The papers 

in this volume present a powerful case for and exploration 

of different freshwater adaptation strategies in the face of 

global climatic change. 

The volume centers on six detailed case studies, from 

India, China, Mexico, Brazil, the lower Danube basin and Tanzania, written by 

experienced local academics and practitioners. They assess autonomous adaptation in 

the freshwater sector, drawing out key lessons about what motivated these societies 

to change, which factors led to more successful adaptation, and how interventions 

may best be sustained.

Social Participation in Water 

Governance and Management 

Critical and Global Perspectives 

Edited by Kate A. Berry and Eric Mollard 

Social participation in water management and governance 

recently became a reality in many economies and societies. 

Yet the dimensions in which power regulation, social equity 

and democracy-building are connected with participation 

has been only tangentially analyzed for the water sector. 

Within a wide variety of cases presented from around the 

world, the reader will find critical analyses of participation and an array of political 

ecological processes that influence water governance.

Out of the Mainstream 

Water Rights, Politics and Identity 

Edited by Rutgerd Boelens, David Getches and 

Armando Guevara Gil 

Water is not only a source of life and culture. It is also a 

source of power, conflicting interests and identity battles. 

Rights to materially access, culturally organize and 

politically control water resources are poorly understood by 

mainstream scientific approaches and hardly addressed by 

current normative frameworks. These issues become even 

more challenging when law and policy-makers and 

dominant power groups try to grasp, contain and handle them in multicultural 

societies. This book examines the multi-scale struggles for cultural justice and socioeconomic 

redistribution that arise as Latin American communities and user federations 

seek access to water resources and decision-making power regarding their control and 

management.

Reforming Institutions in Water 

Resource Management 

Policy and Performance for Sustainable 

Development 

Edited by Lin Crase and Vasant P. Gandhi 

As water scarcities increase, nations throughout the world 

are in search of better institutions to manage water 

resources. India has been making substantial efforts to 

develop its water management systems since 

independence and significant increases in irrigated 

agriculture have taken place through both public and 

private initiatives. However, scarcities are increasing and major problems presently 

confront the management of water resources and irrigated agriculture. Resolving 

these problems is crucial for the future. 

The main purpose of this book is to provide a new approach for the analysis and 

design of water institutions that govern the use and development of water resources, 

particularly for agriculture which is the largest user.

Science, Policy and Stakeholders 

in Water Management 

An Integrated Approach to River Basin 

Management 

Edited by Geoffrey Gooch and Per Stålnacke 

One of the major problems facing practitioners and 

scientists working with water management is how to 

integrate knowledge and experiences from scientific, policy 

and stakeholder perspectives. In this book, this sciencepolicy-stakeholder 

interface (SPSI) is examined both 

analytically and through the description of practical experiences from river basins in 

Europe, India and South-East Asia, which highlight issues associated with pollution, 

severely altered river flows and transboundary conflicts.

Edited by Pay Drechsel, Liqa Raschid-Sally, 

Mark Redwood, Akica Bahri and 

Christopher A. Scott 

In many countries, wastewater treatment systems are 

hardly functioning or have very low coverage, resulting in 

very poor quality water being used for irrigation and the 

cultivation of consumable produce. This can create significant risks to public health, 

particularly in expanding urban areas. 

Wastewater Irrigation and Health approaches this serious problem from a practical 

and realistic perspective, addressing the issues of health risk assessment and 

reduction in developing country settings.

Ocean Zoning 

Making Marine Management More Effective 

Tundi Agardy 

Our knowledge of the oceans is increasing rapidly, as more powerful tools for exploration 

and exploitation make it easier to locate valuable resources, such as fish stocks, oil and 

gas reserves, or sites for wind and hydropower schemes. Competition for space has 

intensified, affecting marine life and people’s livelihoods. Much has been written about 

marine protected areas in the past, but MPAs are only a small subset of spatial 

management tools available. MPAs and MPA networks are now looked at as starting 

points for more comprehensive spatial management, encompassed in the term ocean 

zoning. This logical scaling up from discreet piecemeal protected areas to larger and 

more systematic planning is happening around the world, but few are aware that we are 

entering a brave new world in ocean management with zoning at its core. 

This book discusses the benefits of ocean zoning in theory, reviews progress made in 

zoning around the world through a wide range of case studies, and derives lessons learned 

to recommend a process by which future zoning can be maximally effective and efficient.

Transboundary Water 

Management 

Principles and Practice 

Edited by Anton Earle, Anders Jägerskog 

and Joakim Öjendal 

The upstream exploitation or diversion of groundwater 

or rivers can have devastating consequences for those 

living downstream, and transboundary rivers can 

provide a source of conflict between nations or states, 

particularly where water resources are scarce. 

This book is the first to bring together, in a concise and accessible way, all of the main 

topics to be considered when managing transboundary waters. It will raise the awareness 

of practitioners of the various issues needed to be taken into account when making water 

management decisions and provide a practically-based overview for advanced students.

This book, based on extensive collaborative research from 

the NeWater (New Approaches to Adaptive Water 

Management Under Uncertainty) project, explains the 

benefits, outcomes and lessons learned from adaptive 

water management (AWM). In essence, AWM is a way of 

responding to uncertainty by designing policy measures 

which are provisional and incremental, subject to subsequent modification in response 

to environmental change and other variables.

Contested Waterscapes in the 

Mekong Region 

Hydropower, Livelihoods and Governance 

Edited by François Molle, Tira Foran 

and Mira Käkönen 

The water resources of the Mekong river catchment area, 

from China, through Thailand, Cambodia and Laos to 

Vietnam, are increasingly contested. Governments, 

companies and banks are driving new investment in roads, 

dams, diversions, irrigation schemes, navigation facilities, 

power plants and other emblems of conventional 

“development”. Their plans and interventions pose multiple 

burdens and risks to the livelihoods of millions of people dependent on wetlands, 

floodplains, fisheries and aquatic resources. 

This book examines how large-scale infrastructure and development projects are 

proposed, justified and built, how such projects are contested and how specific 

governance regimes influence their outcome. It shows that diverse, and often 

antagonistic, ideologies and interests are contesting for legitimacy. The authors argue 

that the distribution of decision-making, political and discursive power influences how 

the waterscapes of the region will ultimately look and how benefits, costs and risks 

will be distributed. The book is part of the action-research of the M-POWER (Mekong 

Program on Water, Environment and Resilience) knowledge network.

Smog Check 

Science, Federalism, and the Politics of Clean Air 

Douglas S. Eisinger 

When a new federal regulatory program conflicts with an 

existing state-level system, whose approach should prevail? 

During the 1990s, the federal government sought to implement 

the Clean Air Act Amendments and resolve previous problems 

that it had with compliance. This led to an intense conflict 

between US EPA regulators and the state of California. The 

disagreement involved a federally mandated auto emissions 

program with centralized testing and California’s existing program that was implemented 

through local garages (service stations)—a program that was popularly called “Smog Check.” 

The debate over Smog Check ended when EPA finally granted California, and the rest of the 

nation, greater regulatory flexibility. Fundamental to the Smog Check controversy were 

questions about federal versus state authority as well as battles between colorful 

personalities. In his new book, Smog Check, Douglas S. Eisinger presents these struggles in 

fascinating, first-hand detail. Eisinger, an EPA official at the time of this conflict, probes deeply 

into the issues, explores broader questions and concludes with commentary from other former 

EPA officials who were witnesses or participants in the Smog Check controversy.

Integrated Water Resources Management 

in Practice 

Better Water Management for Development 

Edited by Roberto Lenton and Mike Muller 

The approach known as Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) is widely 

recognized as the best way forward, but is poorly understood, even within the water 

sector. Through case studies, from both developed and developing countries on five 

continents, this book illustrates how better water management, guided by the IWRM 

approach, has helped to meet a wide range of sustainable development goals.

Making the Most of the Water We Have 

The Soft Path Approach to Water Management 

Edited by David B. Brooks, Oliver M. Brandes and Stephen Gurman 

This book is the first to present and apply the water soft path approach. It has three 

aims: to bring to a wider audience the concept and the potential of water soft paths; 

to demonstrate that soft path analysis is analytical and practical, and not just “ecodreaming”; 

and to indicate that soft paths are not only conceptually attractive but that 

they can be made economically and politically feasible.

resource management, but they are unsure how to incorporate climate information into 

their management structures. This book offers a compendium of specific climate variability 

and adaptation strategies for water resource management. The book shows how to use 

climate data in decision support and/or managing water resources and what kind of data or 

information on climate change and variability are available and how they can be used 

within the water sector. The first part describes the general issues and the second part 

contains specific case studies, drawn from a wide range of contrasting countries.

Issues in Water Resource Policy 

Water Policy in the 

Netherlands 

Integrated Management in a Densely 

Populated Delta 

Edited by Stijn Reinhard and Henk Folmer 

The evolution of Dutch water governance, beginning 

with the creation of local “water boards” in the 

Middle Ages and growing into a complex 

infrastructure of polders, dams, and controlled 

waterways offers a compelling study of pitfalls and 

successes within one of the world’s most challenging 

regions for water management. Water Policy in the 

Netherlands traces the arc of water governance in the country, from technological 

innovations to prevent wide-scale flooding, to strategies focused primarily on improving 

water quality, to an integral water management approach which brings together 

perspectives from economics, hydrology, ecology, water law, and water technology. The 

contributions in this book demonstrate how both the technical and social sciences must 

play key roles in crafting policy in the face of serious environmental challenges 

including climate change, sea level rise and increasing soil subsidnce.

Taming the Anarchy 

Groundwater Governance in South Asia 

Tushaar Shah 

In 1947, India, Pakistan and Bangladesh emerged from the 

colonial era with the world’s largest centrally-managed 

canal irrigation infrastructure. However, as vividly 

illustrated by Tushaar Shah, the orderly irrigation economy 

that saved millions of rural poor from droughts and famines 

is now a vast atomistic system of widely dispersed tubewells 

that are drawing groundwater without permits or 

hindrances. Taming the Anarchy is about the development 

of this chaos and the prospects to bring it under control. It 

is about both the massive benefit that the irrigation economy has created and the illfare 

it threatens through depleted aquifrs and pollution.

Nature and Culture 

Rebuilding Lost Connections 

Edited by Sarah Pilgrim and Jules Pretty 

There is a growing recognition that the diversity of life 

comprises both biological and cultural diversity. But there 

remains a common disciplinary division between nature 

and culture, often exacerbated by our need to manage and 

control nature. A variety of environmental sub-disciplines 

have emerged to address this division, and some of these 

bridge the natural and social sciences. 

This book goes beyond divisive definitions and investigates the bridges linking 

biological and cultural diversity. The degree to which ecosystem diversity is linked to 

cultural diversity is only beginning to be understood, but it is precisely as our 

knowledge is advancing that both types of diversity are under even greater pressure. 

While conserving nature alongside human cultures presents unique challenges, this 

book forcefully shows that any hope for saving biological diversity is predicated on a 

concomitant effort to apprecate and protect cultural diversity.

Nature’s Spectacle 

The World’s First National Parks and Protected 

Places 

John Sheail 

National parks have always been an emotive and iconic 

symbol, ever since the first parks of the modern era were 

created in the mid-nineteenth century. This book, based on 

original archival research, delves deeply into their character 

and significance, and the larger context in which they first 

developed. The author identifies, describes and reflects 

upon what caused governments to intervene and establish, in that early modern 

period, what are today recognized to be national parks. 

The book’s historical reconstruction celebrates the deserved attractiveness of the parks as 

wilderness or “spectacle” to millions of visitors, but also emphasizes how there was 

nothing inevitable, self-sustaining or without cost in their magificence and accessibility.

Arguments for Protected Areas 

Multiple Benefits for Conservation Use 

Sue Stolton and Nigel Dudley 

Most of today’s well-known protected areas (national parks and 

nature reserves) have been created mainly to protect wildlife 

and landscape values and currently cover over 10% of the 

world’s land surface and around 0.5% of the oceans. Retaining 

or expanding these areas in the future, however, will depend 

largely on showing their wider benefits for society. 

This book provides a concise and persuasive overview of 

the values of protected areas. As such it is a contribution to advocacy for new 

protected areas, can help secure existing protected areas and ensure that 

management is appropriate and well-informed. It examines a wide range of values 

that are maintained in protected wild and cultural landscapes, including food, water 

and materials, health, tourism, cultural and spiritual values; and buffering capacity 

against climate change and natural disasters. The book also considers the role of 

protected areas in poverty reduction strategies, their relationship with traditional and 

indigenous people and in fostering conflict resolution through peace parks initiatives.

uses and human development strategies are discussed that 

can help maintain resilient environments and societies at a country level. It explores how

and uniqueness of several countries’ food, water, and energy stories as a process to 

identify the links between resource uses and sustainability at a country level.

Sacred Natural Sites 

Conserving Nature and Culture 

Bas Verschuuren, Robert Wild, Jeffrey 

McNeely and Gonzalo Oviedo 

Sacred Natural Sites are the world’s oldest protected places. 

Some of the most prominent examples include Uluru (Ayer’s 

Rock, Australia), Mount Fuji (Japan), Sagarmatha/Chomolongma 

(Mt. Everest, Nepal and China), the River Ganges (India), the 

Sacred Groves of India, Lake Titicaca (Bolivia and Peru) and 

Mount Kilimanjaro (Tanzania ). This book focuses on some of these iconic sites but more on 

lesser known examples such as the Holy Hills (China), the Golden Mountains of Altai (Russia), 

Holy Island of Lindisfarne (UK) and the sacred lakes of the Niger Delta (Nigeria). Across a 

wide range of case studies from throughout the world, authors describe these sacred 

mountains, lakes, rivers, forests, groves, islands, seas and landscapes, and the species that 

live in them.

Community Rights, Conservation 

and Contested Land 

The Politics of Natural Resource Governance 

in Africa 

Edited by Fred Nelson 

Natural resource governance is central to the outcomes of 

biodiversity conservation efforts and to patterns of 

economic development, particularly in resource-dependent 

rural communities. 

This volume examines the dynamics of natural resource governance processes through a 

range of comparative case studies across east and southern Africa, in an effort to better 

understand the factors that account for the different outcomes of reform efforts in different 

contexts. These cases examine issues such as land tenure, tourism development, wildlife 

conservation, and participatory forest management, and are drawn from the work of both 

academicsand field practitioners from across the region.

The Earthscan Reader in Poverty 

and Biodiversity Conservation 

Edited by Dilys Roe and Joanna Elliott 

The role and value of biodiversity conservation in 

supporting the livelihoods of poor people has been widely 

debated during the last two or three decades. Within the 

last few years, however, the debate on the link between 

nature conservation and poverty reduction appears to have 

become more vociferous and, at times, acrimonious. 

This book is important because understanding the origins 

and evolution of this debate is critical to understanding and resolving the current 

claims and counter-claims that are being made, and moving beyond polarizing debate 

to constructive solutions.

Biocultural Diversity 

Conservation 

A Global Sourcebook 

Edited by Luisa Maffi and Ellen Woodley 

The field of biocultural diversity is emerging as a 

dynamic, integrative approach to understanding the 

links between nature and culture and the 

interrelationships between humans and the 

environment at scales from the global to the local. This 

book is a unique compendium and analysis of projects 

from all around the world that take an integrated 

“biocultural” approach to sustaining cultures and biodiversity. 

The book shows how biocultural diversity conservation is done in practice, using a 

diversity of approaches adapted to a variety of contexts. It reviews the theory of 

biocultural diversity and why it is relevant for conservation, presents and analyzes the 

projects, draws lessons learned, offers recommendations and proposes next steps for 

the further development of this approach, and considers the role of biocultural 

diversity in relation to the future of susainability.

Conserving Data in the 

Conservation Reserve 

How a Regulatory Program Runs on 

Imperfect Information 

James T. Hamilton 

Enrolling over 30 million acres, the U.S. Conservation 

Reserve Program (CRP) is the largest conservation program 

in the United States. Under the guidelines of the CRP, the 

federal government pays farmers to stop farming their land 

in the hopes of achieving a variety of conservation goals, 

including the reduction of soil erosion, improvement of water quality, and creation of 

wildlife habitat. In Conserving Data in the Conservation Reserve, James T. 

Hamilton explores the role of information in the policy cycle as it relates to the CRP. 

The author asks how the creation and distribution of information about what is going 

on across these millions of enrolled acres has influenced the development of the 

program itself. 

Conserving Data in the Conservation Reserve brings together and analyzes these 

various streams of information, drawing upon original interviews with regulators, new 

data from Freedom of Information Act requests, and regulatory filings. Using the CRP 

as a launch point, Hamilton explores the role of information, including “hidden 

information,” in the design and implemenation of regulatory policy.

Ethno-Ornithology 

Birds and Indigenous People, Culture and 

Society 

Edited by Sonia Tidemann and Andrew Gosler 

An African proverb states that when a knowledgeable old 

person dies, a whole library disappears. In that light, this 

book presents knowledge that is new or has not been 

readily available until now because it has not previously 

been captured or reported by indigenous people. 

Indigenous knowledge that embraces ornithology takes in 

whole social dimensions that are inter-linked with 

environmental ethos, conservation and management for sustainability. In contrast, 

western approaches have tended to reduce knowledge to elemental and material 

references. This book also looks at the significance of indigenous knowledge of birds 

and their cultural significance, and how these can assist in framng research methods 

of western scientists working in related areas.

Invasive and Introduced Plants 

and Animals 

Human Perceptions, Attitudes and 

Approaches to Management 

Edited by Ian D. Rotherham and 

Robert Lambert 

This book addresses the broader context of invasive and 

exotic species, in terms of the perceived threats and 

environmental concerns which surround alien species and 

ecological invasions. As a result of unprecedented scales 

of environmental change, combined with rapid 

globalization, the mixing of cultures and diversity, and fears over biosecurity and 

bioterrorism, the known impacts of particular invasions have been catastrophic. 

However, as several chapters show, reactions to some exotic species, and the 

justifications for interventions in certain situations, rest uncomfortably with social 

reactions to ethnic cleansing and persecution perpetrated across the globe. The role of 

democracy in deciding and determining environmental policy is another emerging 

issue. In an increasingly multicultural society, this raises huge questions of ethics and 

choice. At the same time, in order to redress major ecological losses, the science of 

reintroduction of native species has also come to the forefront, and is widely accepted 

by many in nature conservation. However, with questions of where and when, and 

with what species or even species analogues, reintroductions are acceptable, the 

topic is hotly debated. Again, it is shown that manydecisions are based on values and 

perceptions rather than objective science.

Confronting Biopiracy 

Challenges, Cases and International 

Debates 

Daniel F. Robinson 

“Biopiracy” refers either to the unauthorized extraction of 

biological resources, such as plants with medicinal 

properties, and associated traditional knowledge from 

indigenous peoples and local communities, or to the 

patenting of spurious “inventions” based on such 

knowledge or resources without compensation. Biopiracy 

cases continue to emerge in the media and public eye, yet 

they remain the source of considerable disagreement, confusion, controversy and 

grief. The aim of this book is to provide the most detailed, coherent analysis of the 

issue of biopiracy to date. 

The book synthesizes the rise of the issue and increasing use of the term by activists 

and negotiators in the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the Convention on 

Biological Diversity (CBD), to form a critical nderstanding of the themes, implications 

and politics of biopiracy.

Genetic Resources, Traditional 

Knowledge and the Law 

Solutions for Access and Benefit Sharing 

Edited by Evanson C. Kamau and Gerd Winter 

The need to regulate access to genetic resources and 

ensure a fair and equitable sharing of any resulting 

benefits was at the core of the development of the 

Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). The CBD 

established a series of principles and requirements around 

access and benefit sharing (ABS) in order to increase 

transparency and equity in the international flow of 

genetic resources, yet few countries have been able to 

effectively implement them and ABS negotiations are often paralyzed by complex 

challenges. This book not only examines these complex challenges, but offers 

workable, policy-oriented solutions. International contributors cover theoretical 

approaches, new significant national legislation, the concpt of traditional knowledge, 

provider and user country measures and common solutions.

Biochar for Environmental 

Management 

Science and Technology 

Edited by Johannes Lehmann 

and Stephen Joseph 

Biomass-derived black carbon, charcoal or “biochar”, as it 

is nowadays called, can be used as a soil amendment to 

improve nutrient retention and availability and therefore 

increase crop yields. Such a use of biochar is a significant 

advance over conventional organic matter management, 

as the biochar is more stable in soil and is better able to 

retain nutrients. This book is the first to synthesize the 

expanding research literature on this topic. This is all the more important at this 

juncture in the development of a biochar technology, as it requires an interdisciplinary 

approach involving engineering, environmental sciences, agricultural sciences, 

economics and policy. The book provides a comprehensive oveview of current 

knowledge of the science and technology of biochar.

Conservation 

Four volume set 

Edited by William M. Adams 

This four-volume set brings together a series of papers fundamental to understanding 

the social, political, cultural and scientific dimensions of conservation. Each volume 

is introduced by a new review essay, which both sets the scope for the collection 

and advances analytical understanding of conservation issues. 

Volume I covers the historical development of conservation ideas and reviews the 

diverse contemporary philosophical, ethical, cultural and practical arguments for 

conservation. Volume II addresses the core issue of conservation: the maintenance 

of living diversity in the face of human demands on the biosphere. Volume III 

explores the overlaps and conflicts between conservation and development, and 

“win–win” solutions to conflicts between the two, including ideas of sustainable 

development. Volume IV presents work on conservation as an essentially political 

process, drawing chiefly on social science and, in particular, political ecolog and 

environmental history.

Nature’s Matrix 

Linking Agriculture, Conservation and Food Sovereignty 

Ivette Perfecto, John Vandermeer and Angus Wright 

The subject of Nature’s Matrix is conservation of biodiversity, but it differs from 

other books by proposing a radically new approach based on recent advances in the 

science of ecology plus certain political realities. 

The analysis is based on the linking of three key political issues that are intimately 

related, yet often treated in isolation. The first is the crisis of biodiversity loss. The 

second has to do with food and agriculture and the third is the political unrest in rural 

areas. This book shows how these three issues are interrelated in complex ways, 

focusing on the need to understand that interrelatonship for the generation of 

effective conservation programs.

Prosperity Without Growth 

Economics for a Finite Planet 

Tim Jackson 

“…a challenge to mainstream economic thinking 

that is both accessible and robustly argued.” 

—Financial Times (U.S. Edition) 

The modern economy is reliant on economic growth for 

stability. When growth falters, politicians panic, 

businesses fail, people lose jobs, and recession looms. 

Tim Jackson argues, however, that continual growth is 

just not possible, not sustainable—to believe so is ignoring our knowledge of the 

finite resource base and fragile ecology in which we live. 

The book starts with a compelling analysis of the consequences of the relentless pursuit of 

economic growth and material goods. It illustrates why a return to business as usual after 

the current financial crisis is not an option. Prosperity for a few founded on ecological 

destruction and persistent social injustice is no foundation for a civilized society. 

The current economic crisis presents a unique opportunity to invest in change and a 

future that delivers lasting prosperity for the predicted 9 billion people who will 

inhabit the earth in 2050. The author—a leading expert and advisor to the UK 

government—concludes by outlining pathways towards a sustainable economy. It 

involves radically changing our “shop unil you drop” mentality as well as engaging 

other disruptive economic practices. Jackson doesn’t claim this will be easy, but points 

out that while action is urgent, it is possible.

Factor Five 

Transforming the Global Economy Through 

80% Improvements in Resource Productivity 

Ernst von Weizsäcker, Karlson Charlie 

Hargroves and Michael H. Smith 

When first published in 1997, Factor Four transformed 

how economists, policy makers, engineers, entrepreneurs 

and business leaders thought about innovation and wealth 

creation. Through examples from a wide range of 

industrial sectors, the authors demonstrated how 

technical innovation could cut resource use in half while 

doubling wealth. Now 12 years on, with climate change at the top of the world 

agenda and the new economic giants of China and India needing ever more resources, 

there is a unique historic opportunity to scale up resources efficiency and radically 

transform the global economy. 

Picking up where Factor Four left off, this new book examines the past 15 years of 

innovation in industry, technical innovation and policy. It shows how and where factor 

four gains have been made and how we can achieve greater factor five or 80+% 

improvements in resource and energy productivity and how to roll them out on a 

global scale to retool our economic system, massively boost wealth for billions of 

people around the world and help solve the climate change crises. 

Like its predecessor, this book is simply the most important work on the future of 

innovation, busines, economics and policy and is top drawer reading for leaders across 

all sectors including business and industry, government, engineering and design and 

teaching.

Accounting for Sustainability 

Practical Insights 

Edited by Anthony Hopwood, Jeffrey Unerman 

and Jessica Fries 

Foreword by His Royal Highness The Prince 

of Wales 

Perhaps the most critical challenge facing business and 

society generally is to tackle climate change and live 

within our ecological limits, while continuing to enjoy 

economic prosperity. Key to addressing this challenge is 

the need for all organizations, public and private, to 

embed sustainability into their “DNA”. Although sustainability accounting has 

developed in recent years, relatively few organizations have comprehensive systems 

and procedures to ensure that sustainability considerations are taken into account 

fully and consistently in decision-making and reporting. 

This book presents examples of how organizations have used accounting for 

sustainability tools and principles to embed sustainability into their DNA. It is 

indispensible for all business leaders, accountancy professionals and others seeking to 

embed sustainabilty into the DNA of their organizations in the pursuit of both better 

business and better sustainability performance.

Designing for Re-Use 

The Life of Consumer Packaging 

Janet Shipton and Tom Fisher 

The re-use of packaging could have a significant effect on 

the quantity of material that enters the waste stream and 

the energy and consequently carbon that is expended in 

its production—every re-used item could be another item 

not purchased. The authors demonstrate that we do 

re-use—but usually despite rather than because of the 

actions of government and designers. The book shows 

that by understanding the ways in which actions of this 

sortfit with everyday life, opportunities may be identified to enhance the potential for 

re-use through packaging design.

Reforming Regulatory Impact 

Analysis 

Edited by Winston Harrington, Lisa 

Heinzerling and Richard D. Morgenstern 

Over the past decades, considerable debate has 

emerged surrounding the use of cost-benefit analysis 

(CBA) to analyze and make recommendations for 

environmental and safety regulations. Critics argue 

that CBA forces values on unquantifiable factors, that 

it does not adequately measure benefits across 

generations, and that it is not adaptable in situations 

of uncertainty. Proponents, on the other hand, believe that a well-done CBA provides 

useful, albeit imperfect, information to policymakers precisely because of the standard 

metrics that are applied across the analysis. 

Largely absent from the debate have been practical questions about how the use of 

CBA could be improved. Relying on the assumption that CBA will remain an important 

component in the regulatory process, this new work from Resources for the Future 

brings together experts representing both sides of the debate to analyze the use of 

CBA in three key case studies: the Clean Air Interstate Rule, the Clean Air Mercury 

Rule, and the Cooling Water Intake Structure Rule ( 

hase II). Each 

of the case studies is accompanied by critiques from both an opponent and a 

proponent of CBA and includes consideration of complementary analyses that could 

have been employed.

Economic Analysis for

“An important and original resource on ecosystembased

concepts to a broad audience in a way that will allow 

them to use the tools of economics appropriately and 

effectively.”—Douglas Lipton, University of Maryland 

For both economist and non-economist audiences, this book describes ways in which 

economic analysis can be an important tool to inform and improve ecosystem-based 

management (EBM). Throughout the book, the authors elucidate the different kinds of 

insights which can be gained from the use of different economic tools. In this rigorous 

and accessible work, the authors defy the conventional stereotype that economic 

perspectives necessarily favor the greatest commercial development. Instead, they 

demonstrate how comprehensive economic analyses consider the full ange of 

potential services offered by marine and coastal ecosystems, including the 

conservation of biodiversity and creation of recreational opportunities.

Linking Emissions Trading 

Schemes 

Edited by Andreas Tuerk 

A growing number of countries are implementing GHG 

emissions trading schemes from the regional and 

national to the local level. However even as the 

number of different schemes grow, there are still few 

linkages between them. Major cap-and-trade proposals 

are undergoing important stages in their development, 

especially in the United States, Japan and Australia, 

some of which explicitly emphasize the aim of linking 

up to other schemes, and one of the strategic goals of 

European climate policy is linking the EU ETS with 

other comparable schemes. The research presented in this volume on actual economic, 

political and institutiona constraints and implications is now essential in examining 

the role of linking trading schemes for the development of the post-Kyoto climate 

architecture and for increasing linkage between schemes.

Corporate Social Responsibility and 

International Development 

Is Business the Solution? 

Michael Hopkins 

This book, written by noted CSR practitioner Michael Hopkins, is the first to explicitly 

link CSR with development. It spells out what corporations are doing on development, 

what more they could do and how CSR can be a useful tool to promote economic 

development via corporations. This is imporant and challenging reading for all of those 

in government, business and NGOs who think that there must be a better, more 

effective and dynamic way to kick-start development and eradicate poverty.

Fiscal Space 

Policy Options for Financing Human Development 

Edited by Rathin Roy and Antoine Heuty 

This groundbreaking volume, by leading development economists and practitioners, 

addresses the central concern for policymakers involved in long term planning for the 

2016 Millennium Development Goals (MDGs): how to create “fiscal space” for the 

MDGs and strengthen domestic resource mobilization for human development, while 

ensuring long-term sustainaility and freedom from reliance on aid. By looking at the 

evidence with fresh perspectives, the authors present a novel method for how fiscal 

policy can be made to work for the poor, for the long-term. Published with (UNDP) and 

Revenue Watch.

Trade, Globalization and Sustainability Impact 

Assessment 

A Critical Look at Methods and Outcomes 

Paul Ekins and Tancrede Voituriez 

This book takes a hard look at the practice of Trade SIAs to date, and the extent to which 

they have achieved their objectives and improved the outcomes of trade negotiations. It 

proposes several ways in which Trade SIAs could be made more effective, and illustrates 

these in respect of controversial sectors inwhich trade liberalization has been implemented 

or proposed, including textiles, services and investment. Finally the book makes proposals 

beyond SIA through which some of the conflicts between trade liberalization and 

sustainable development could be more effectively addressed.

Understanding Sustainability Economics 

Towards Pluralism in Economics 

Peter Söderbaum 

This book by Peter Söderbaum, author of Ecological Economics, is a critical 

examination of the failings of mainstream economics and the resultant environmental 

problems we are facing. Most importantly, it articulates what are economics for 

sustainability, as an alternative to mainstream economics, would look like in both 

theory and practice if we are to pursue a truly sustainable future. 

A main point raised is that fundamental issues such as the theory of science and role of 

science in society, paradigms in economics, ideological orientations and institutional 

arrangements need to be critically examined rather than assumed to be given in any serious 

attempt to come to grips with unsustainable trends. Among its features, the book provides a 

brief history of economics and looks at the intersection between politics and the often hidden 

values embedded in economics. Also cvered are the roles of individuals and organizations, 

political structures and institutions and democracy, environmental decision-making, 

sustainability assessment and a vision of a future underpinned by sustainability economics.

Requiem for a Species 

Why We Resist the Truth About Climate 

Change 

Clive Hamilton 

Clive Hamilton offers a compelling description of a world 

transformed by climate change—and explains why we will not 

stop climate change even though we know it will destroy us. 

This book does not set out to raise the alarm again to 

encourage us to take radical measures to head off climate 

chaos. This book is about why we have ignored those 

warnings, and why it may now be too late. It is a book about the frailties of the human 

species as expressed in both the institutions we built and the psychological 

dispositions that have led us on the path of selfdestruction. It is about our strange 

obsessions, our hubris, and our penchant for avoiding the facts. It is the story of a 

battle within us between the forces that should have caused us to protect the Earth 

and those that, in the end, have won out—our greed, materialism and alienation from 

Nature, and the 21st century consequences of these failures.

Low Carbon Transport in Asia 

Strategies for Optimizing Co-benefits 

Edited by Eric Zusman, Ancha Srinivasan, 

Shobhakar Dhakal and Hideyuki Mori 

Without the effective participation of developing Asia, a 

climate crisis is certain. Within developing Asia, the key 

to averting such a crisis lies in low carbon transport and it 

will depend upon the extent to which they adopt a 

co-benefit approach. 

A co-benefit approach involves recognizing that some 

transport policies mitigate greenhouse gases while 

simultaneously improving urban air quality, commuting times and energy security. 

Accounting for these additional benefits can overcome a reluctance to bear the 

costsof climate actions. But it also presents unique technical, financial, and 

institutional challenges to decision-makers unaccustomed to optimizing multiple 

benefits. The book represents a pioneering effort to identify and remove barriers to a 

co-benefit approach in developing Asia’s transport sector.

New Boundaries for Development 

Steffen Bauer and Imme Scholz 

Adverse climate impacts are already evident across 

Southern Africa and pose a serious threat to the 

development prospects of the region’s societies. 

Sustainable development in this region will depend on the 

rapid development and implementation of effective 

adaptation measures. 

This volume identifies the new socioeconomicand political boundaries to development 

that result from ongoing climate change in Southern Africa. The collected papers 

explore the region’s potential for a transition to development strategies that combine 

meaningful socioeconomic investment and adaptation measures while also improving 

livelihoods in the region.

Shuzo Nishioka and Hideyuki Mori 

The future of China, India and Asia’s other emerging 

economies and their ability to take a low-carbon and 

climate-resilient development path will determine the 

future of global carbon emissions and climate change. 

Indeed, the battle to confront global climate change will 

be won or lost in Asia. The transition to a low-carbon, climate-resilient economy (LCE), 

which involves many steps towards impoved energy efficiency, alternative energy 

sources and transport systems, sustainable land use, eco-friendly consumption and 

proactive adaptation, may be regarded as the world’s fourth revolution, after the 

industrial revolution, agricultural revolution, and the information revolution.

Climate Change as 

Environmental and Economic 

Hazard 

Edited by Boris Porfiriev 

The current policy for climate change prioritizes 

mitigation over adaptation. The collected papers of 

Climate Change as Environmental and Economic 

Hazard argue that although efforts to reduce 

greenhouse gas emissions are still vital, the new policy 

paradigm hould shift the priority to adaptation, with a 

special focus on disaster risk reduction. It should also 

consider climate change not purely as a hazard and a challenge, but as a window of 

opportunity to shift to a new sustainable development policy model, which stresses 

the particular importance of communities’ resilience.

The Economics of Climate Change 

in China 

Towards a Low Carbon Economy 

Edited by Karl Hallding and Lailai Li 

China faces many modernization challenges. But perhaps 

none is more pressing than that posed by climate change. 

China must find a new economic growth model that is 

simultaneously environmentally sustainable, can free it 

from its dependency on fossil fuels, and lift living 

standards for the majority of its population. 

This ground-breaking economic study, led by the Stockholm Environment Institute and 

the Chinese Economists 50 Forum, brings together leading international thinkers in 

economics, climate change, and development, to tackle some of the most challenging 

issues relatingto China’s low-carbon development. This study maps out a deep carbon 

reduction scenario and analyzes economic policies that shift carbon use, and shows 

how China can take strong and decisive action to make deep reductions in carbon 

emission over the next 40 years while maintaining high economic growth and 

minimizing adverse effects of a low-carbon transition.

Methane and Climate Change 

Edited by Dave Reay, Pete Smith and 

Andre van Amstel 

Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas and is estimated 

to be responsible for approximately 1/5 of man-made 

global warming. Despite the importance of methane, 

previous books on climate change have tended to neglect 

the topic, instead focusing on carbon dioxide. This timely 

and authoritative book provides the only comprehensive 

ad balanced overview of our current knowledge of sources 

of methane and how these might be controlled to limit 

future climate change. It is shown how numerous point sources of methane have the 

potential to be more easily addressed than sources of carbon dioxide and therefore 

contribute significantly to the climate change mitigation in the 21st century.

only comprises 320 parts per billion of the earth’s 

atmosphere, it as a so-called Global Warming Potential 

nearly 300 times greater than that of carbon dioxide. The 

aim of this book is to provide a synthesis of scientific

International Support for 

Domestic Climate Policies in 

Developing Countries 

Karsten M. Neuhoff 

Domestic climate policies play an important part in 

shifting countries towards a low-carbon development 

trajectory. Six case studies explore the domestic drivers 

and barriers for policies with climate (co-)benefits in 

developing countries. International support can help to 

overcome these constraints by providing additional 

resources for incremental policy costs, technical 

assistance, and technology cooperatio to build local capacity. Cooperation can also 

contribute to robust institutional frameworks and government policies that facilitate 

increased private sector investment, which supports low-carbon production and 

consumption. Any such cooperation has to be anchored in domestic initiatives— 

building on stakeholder support for policies with climate co-benefits.

An Introduction to Climate 

Change Economics and Policy 

Felix R. FitzRoy and Elissaios Papyrakis 

Interest in climate change has generated a mountain of 

literature leaving many floundering in the sheer flood of 

information, commentary, claims and initiatives. This 

highly accessible book assumes no prior knowledge and 

cuts through the confusion to explain the key economic 

and policy issues related to climate change in simple 

language and with only a few statistics. Coverage slices 

across the breadth and depth ofclimate change, providing 

short summaries of the most relevant research and conclusions from various 

disciplines. The authors highlight where economists and policy makers generally 

misunderstand the science of climate change, underestimate the risks of runaway 

warming and exaggerate the costs of radical measures to stabilize the climate.

Climate Change and Small 

Island States 

Power, Knowledge and the South Pacific 

John Campbell and Jon Barnett 

This book is the first to apply a critical approach to 

climate change science and policy processes in the South 

Pacific region. It shows how groups within politically and 

scientifically powerful countries appropriate the issue of 

island vulnerability in ways that do not do justice to the 

lives of island people. It argues that the ways in which 

islands and their inhabitants ar represented in climate 

science and politics seldom leads to meaningful responses to assist them to adapt to 

climate change. Throughout, the authors focus on the hitherto largely ignored social 

impacts of climate change, and demonstrate that adaptation and mitigation policies 

cannot be effective without understanding the social systems and values of island 

societies.

Climate Change 

The Science, Impacts and Solutions 


A. Barrie Pittock 

It is widely accepted in the scientific community that climate change is a reality. In 

this second edition, leading climate researcher Barrie Pittock revisits the effects that 

global warming is having on our planet, in light of new scientific research. 

Pittock presents all sides of the arguments about the science and possible remedies. 

He argues that “uncertainty is inevitable, but risk is certain”. Uncertainty is not a 

reason for doing nothing (or merely advocating more research) but rather to evaluate 

and manage risk. This new edition takes into account the latest analyses of climate 

change, suc as alarming observations regarding Arctic sea ice, the recently published 

IPCC Synthesis Report, and the policies of the new Australian Government and how 

they affect the implementation of climate change initiatives. It also incudes extensive 

endnotes with links to ongoing and updated information, as well as extra figures.

Climate Change and Globalization in the Arctic 

An Integrated Approach to Vulnerability Assessment 

E. Carina H. Keskitalo 

The book draws upon case studies of forestry and fishing—two of the largest sectors 

that rely on renewable natural resources and includes data from some 60 semistructured 

interviews and seven stakeholder meetings. The study represents a bottomup 

view, originating with the stakeholders themselves, of the degree to which 

stakeholders find adaptatin to climate change possible, how they conceive of climate 

change, and how they evaluate it in relation to their other concerns, notably economic 

and political ones. It illustrates that local vulnerability and adaptive capacity are, to a 

large degree, a result of international and national governance, that much of the 

adaptive capacity for local areas lies at higher, even international levels.

Sustainable Tourism in Island 

Destinations 

Sonya Graci and Rachel Dodds 

Many of the world’s islands are dependent on tourism as 

their main source of income. It is therefore imperative that 

these destinations are managed for long-term viability. 

The natural appeal of a destination is typically one of its 

main tourism related assets, yet the natural environment 

is also the feature most directly threatened by potential 

overexploitation. 

SustainableTourism in Island Destinations addresses 

these issues, providing an innovative discussion regarding issues of sustainability of 

island tourism destinations. It builds on and consolidates the existing literature and 

seeks to add to this by providing innovative discussions and practical management 

structures through the use of the authors’ various island project work.

Volcano and Geothermal Tourism 

Sustainable Geo-Resources for Leisure and 

Recreation 

Edited by Patricia Erfurt-Cooper 

and Malcolm Cooper 

For most people it may come as a surprise that there are 

over 1,300 active volcanoes worldwide and many more 

dormant or extinct. While not all of them can be reached, 

this still means an abundance of destinations for people 

with an interest in volcanic and geothermal environments. 

This book provides the first global review and assessment of the sustainable use of 

active and dormant volcanic and geothermal environments for geotourism. The volcanobased 

tourism sector is further augmented through a closely linked range of geothermal 

resources and attractions, such as geysers and hot springs, which are discussed in 

detail throughout individual chapters covering all key volcanic and geotherma regions 

around the world. In many of these forms of geotourism, risk management is neglected 

as there are no international guidelines for visitor safety and prevention of accidents. It 

is therefore timely to offer a comprehensive book which covers the most important 

issues of this growing tourism sector and reflects relevant global research as well as 

recommendations for international safety guidelines and sustainable management.

Slow Travel and Tourism 

Janet Dickinson and Les Lumsdon 

It is widely recognized that travel and tourism can have a 

high environmental impact and make a major contribution 

to climate change. It is therefore vital that ways to reduce 

these impacts are developed and implemented. “Slow 

travel” provides such a concept, drawing on ideas from 

the ‘slow food’ movement with a cncern for locality, 

ecology and quality of life. 

The aim of this book is to define slow travel and to 

discuss how some underlining values are likely to pervade 

new forms of sustainable development. It also aims to provide insights into the travel 

experience; these are explored in several chapters which bring new knowledge about 

sustainable transport tourism from across the world.

Responsible Tourism 

Critical Issues for Conservation and 

Development 

Edited by Anna Spenceley 

All too often conservation efforts are seen to be in conflict 

with local livelihoods and resource use. As more land and 

natural resources are incorporated into protected areas, 

“responsible tourism” is often invoked as a way to serve 

both conseration ends and support local livelihoods and 

promote economic development. Yet, does it actually work 

in practice? Employing case studies drawn from across 

southern Africa—one of the testing grounds for the idea that responsible tourism can 

promote biodiversity conservation and poverty alleviation—this book provides a 

comprehensive, evidence based examination of the range of issues of what works and 

what does not.

Tourism and Poverty Reduction 

Pathways to Prosperity 

Jonathan Mitchell and Caroline Ashley 

This book provides an overview and synthesis of a broad array of analyses of how 

tourism affects poverty. First, it pulls these together to identify three main pathways 

by which impacts on poverty can be delivered. Second, it reviews the empirical 

evidence on the scale and significance of impact of each pathway, exploring where 

comparisons can be made and where they cannot. Finally, it considers the different 

methods used to gather and collect data. 

Tourism and Poverty Reduction draws on international evience throughout, but 

provides particular insights into Africa and other less developed countries. The key 

aims are to enhance understanding of how tourism can affect poverty; the conditions 

under which poverty reduction can be achieved and the type of data and analysis 

policy-makers need in order to do this. It makes a major contribution to a more 

coherent, cross-disciplinary and sensitive approach to the tourism-poverty debate.

From NIMBY to Participation 

Edited by Patrick Devine-Wright 

This book provides a timely, international review of research 

on public engagement, in contexts of diverse, innovative 

energy technologies. Public engagement is conceived 

broadly–as the interaction between how developers and 

other key actors engage with publics about energy 

technologies (including assumptions held about the 

methods used, such as the provision of financial benefits or 

the holdin of deliberative events), and how individuals and groups 

engage with energy policies and projects (including indirectly through the media and 

directly through emotional and behavioral responses). The book makes a significant 

contribution to our existing knowledge, as well as providing interested professionals, 

policymakers and members of the public with a timely overview of the critical issues 

involved in public engagement with low carbon energy technologies.

Hydrogen energy has the potential to make a major 

contribution to the resolution of pressing social and 

environmental problems such as carbon emissions, energy

different technologies for he production, distribution, 

storage and use of hydrogen, and analyzes both the economics of these technologies 

and the risks they pose. Part II describes the experiences of hydrogen economies and 

then assesses the nature of different hydrogen futures that might develop depending 

on how the technology, economics, social acceptance and policy frameworks play out 

in different contexts. Part III examines the critical relationship between public 

acceptance of hydrogen, public policy and market conditions.

the effects that the way we harness energy will have on future climate change. The book 

opens by highlighting the importance of moving to low carbon technologies for 

generation, then moves on to explain the fuctioning, potential and social/environmental 

issues different energy types. 

It also covers the options for carbon capture and storage and the contexts in which 

low carbon energy can best be utilized. The book closes with cenarios that combine 

the findings from its companion volume with the findings from this volume to 

generate scenarios that succeed in limiting future atmospheric CO2 concentration to 

no more than 450 ppmv.

Jose Goldemberg and Oswaldo Lucon 

This second edition has been expanded and updated to 

cover how energy is related to the major challenges of 

sustainability faced by the world today. 

The book starts by conceptualizing energy, and then relates it 

to human activities, to existing natural resources and to 

development indicators. It then covers the main 

environmental problems, their causes and possible solutions. Disaggregating national 

populations by income and by how diffeent income groups consume energy, the authors 

identify the differences between local, regional and global environmental impacts, and can 


thus ascertain who is responsible for them. Finally, they discuss general and specific 

policies to promote sustainable development in energy. New coverage is included of 

today’s pressing issues, including security, environmental impact assessment and future 

climate change/renewable energy regimes.

regional and local levels. The book comprises five core 

themes: integrating energy access concerns into macro- and sectoral policy strategies; 

delivering energy services through institutions; developing productive/income-generating 

activities such as household/micro ventures using energy services; financing for rural energy 

services for the poor and linking micro (downstream) evidence to macro development.

Energy in Brazil 

Past, Present and Future 

Antonio Dias Leite 

In this detailed account, Antonio Dias Leite sets out the 

development of Brazil’ energy mix. Beginning with the 

history of energy provision and use, he then moves on to 

tackle the various sources in detail: hydropower, biomass 

and other renewables, as well as fossil fuels and nuclear 

power. In each case he examines growth, distribution, 

environmental and socio-economic issues and potential 

for future development—highlighting what has worked, 

and what has not. The book ends by examining Brazilian 

approaches to energy efficiency, and by positioning Brazil in the world context.

Powering the Green Economy 

The Feed-in Tariff Handbook 

Miguel Mendonça, David Jacobs and 

Benjamin Sovacool 

Feed-in tariffs—laws that provide a premium rate (tariff) 

over a fixed period of time for each unit of electricity fed 

into the grid—are one of the most cost-effective policy 

tools for accelerating the transition to a more sustainable 

energy system. Despite their increasingly widespread use, 

the effectiveness of feed-in tariffs can be hampered by 

poor design and inadequate implementation. 

This book, from authors who have spent years working n feed-in 

tariff design and advocacy, covers: an introduction to feed-in 

tariffs, how they work, and developments in key countries around the world (including in 

Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, North and South America); an exploration of technical and social 

issues; an investigation of effective design, and other support schemes; a blueprint for 

campaigning for feed-in tariffs; and a compilation of further resources for those wishing to 

green their economy.

Selling Solar 

The Diffusion of Renewable Energy in 

Emerging Markets 

Damian Miller 

To solve the looming climate change crisis, the world will 

need to make a profound technological shift to cleaner 

sources of energy. One technology that has enormous 

potential, especially in rural areas of many emerging 

markets, is solar photovoltaic technology for eectricity. Yet 

the progress of this technology has been disappointingly 

slow since its introduction in the 1980s. In this book, the 

author seeks to explain why this has been the case, 

arguing that the market for solar has been ready for the 

last decade, it just took time for entrepreneurial firms to pioneer this new business, 

and for the right policies to take shape to encourage and support them. Once that 

happened, diffusion ramped up leading to the beginning of what can truly be called a 

solar revolution.

The Economic, Social and Technologicl 

Case for Renewable Energy 

Hermann Scheer 

For 200 years industrial civilization has relied on the 

combustion of abundant and cheap carbon fuels. But 

continued reliance has lead to perilous conseuences. Yet 

there is an answer: to make the transition to renewable 

sources of energy and to distributed, decentralized 

energy generation. It is a model thathas been proven, technologically, commercially and 

politically, as Scheer comprehensively demonstrates. He shows that the widely 

advocated return to nuclear power is compromised and illusory.

Renewable Electricity and the Grid 

The Challenge of Variability 

Edited by Godfrey Boyle 

The energy available from wind, waves, tides and the sun varies in ways that may not 

match variations in energy demand. Assimilating these fluctuations can affect the 

operation and eonomics of electricity networks and markets. This book examines the 

significance of the issue of variability of renewable electricity supplies, and presents 

technical and operational solutions to the problem of reconciling the differing patterns 

of supply and demand. Its chapters are authored by leading experts in the field, who 

aim to explain and quantify the impacts of variability in renewable energy, and in 

doing so, dispel many of the myths and misunderstandings surrounding the topic.

Uncertainty in Policy Making 

Values and Evidence in Complex Decisions 

Michael Heazle 

Foreword by Paul Pillar 

Uncertainty in Policy Making explores how uncertainty 

is iterpreted and used by policy makers, experts and 

politicians. It also offers an alternative framework for how 

they should deal with uncertainty. 

The book centers around two high-profile and important 

case studies: the Iraq war and climate change policy in 

the US, UK and Australia. It offers a ‘hedging’ approach which will enable policy 

makers to manage rather than eliminate uncertainty. This approach is applied to the 

two case studies to show how it could have been employed in the case of Iraq and 

how it might be used in some of the policy challenges posed by climate change.

Finders Keepers? 

How the Law of Capture Shaped the World 

Oil Industry 

Terence Daintith 

Since the beginnings of the United States oil industry 150 

years ago, production activity has been governed by the 

”law of capture,” dictating that a driller owns the oil 

drilled from his/her property even if the oil has migrated 

from under neighboring land as a result of the drilling 

process. This “finders keepers” principle has been 

excoriated by foreign critics as “theft” but in the United 

States it continues to operate, and indeed to underpin the system of production 

regulation, with potentially wasteful results. In this meticulously researched and richly 

documented account, Terence Daintith adopts a historical and comparative perspective 

to show how legal rules, technical knowledge (o the lack thereof) and political events 

and ideas combined to shape attitudes and behavior in the business of oil production. 

He explains both the original adoption of the law of capture and the paths of legal and 

political development that have led to its consolidation in the United States and its 

marginalization elsewhere. In contrasting these histories, the book raises the question 

of whether the U.S. can reduce waste in production without abandoning its deeplyrooted 

attachment to private property rights in oil and gas.

Resolving Messy Policy 

Problems 

Handling Conflict in Environmental, 

Transport, Health and Ageing Policy 

Steven Ney 

This challenging book focuses on the intractable conflict 

that characterizes policy debate about messy issues. In 

the first part of the book, the author develops a 

framework for analyzing intractable policy conflict about 

messy policy issues. In the second section, he applies the 

conceptual framework to four very different policy issues: 

the environment—focusing on climate change—as well 

as transport, ageing and health. Using evidence from Europe, North Aerica and the 

Asia-Pacific, the chapters compare how policy actors construct contending narratives 

or stories in order to make sense of, and deal with, messy challenges. In the final 

section, the author discusses the implications of the analysis for collective learning 

and adaptation processes. The aim is to contribute to a more refined understanding of 

policy-making in the face of uncertainty, and most importantly to provide practical 

methods for critical reflection on policy and to point to sustainable adaptation 

pathways and learning mechanisms for policy formulation.

Integration in Practce 

Shaping Institutions For Learning 

Edited by Måns Nilsson 

and Katarina Eckerberg 

Foreword by Roger E. Kasperson 

and Susan Owens 

This groundbreaking volume presents the first ever detailed 

examination of EPI at the national policy level, focusing on the 

key sectors of energy and agriculture within Sweden, a 

country that is widely recognized as a leader in Europe and 

worldwide. In doing so, the authors unpack EPI, look at what it means in policy formation 

and examine how environmental priorities are treated in relation to other political priorities.

Governing a Common Sea 

Environmental Policies in the Baltic Sea Region 

Edited by Marko Joas, Detlef Jahn and Kristine Kern 

This book uses a case study of the Baltic Sea region to examine this complex problem. 

The sea itself has been highly vulnerable to pollution and recently the bordering 

nations have cooperated and tackled the issue by establishing several new forums to 

manage the sea. Administrative and political structures developed in the region are 

reviewed and shown to provide a model which could be applied to other seas and 

natural resource systems elsewhere in the world.

The Handbook of Environmental Policy 

Evaluation 

Pieter Leroy and Ann Crabbé 

This handbook is the first guide to environmental policy evaluation in practice. 

Beginning with an introduction to thegeneral principles of evaluation, it then explains 

the particular complexities native to the environmental sphere. The third section 

provides a comprehensive toolkit of evaluation methods and techniques, which the 

practitioner can employ and refer to repeatedly. The fourth section considers design 

issues which may face the policy evaluator, including involvement of stakeholders, the 

sensitivities between them, the assessment of the evaluability of a field, the 

maximization of the utilization of the evaluations’ outcomes, and much more. 

Throughout, the theory is illustrated with practical examples from around the world.

Frontiers in Resource and Rural Economics 

Human-Nature, Rural-Urban Interdependencies 

JunJie Wu, Paul W. Barkley and Bruce A. Weber 

The book reviews the past 50 years of scholarship in both natural resource and rural 

economics. It contrasts their different intellectual and practical approaches and 

considers how they might be refocused in light of pressing demands on human and 

natural systems. Throughout, the book emphasizes innovative research methods that 

integrate natural resource, environmental and rural economics.

Using Surveys to Value Public Goods 

The Contingent Valuation Method 

Robert Cameron Mitchell and Richard T. Carson 

Mitchell and Carson, for reasons presented in this book, argue that at this time the 

contingent valuation (CV) method offers the most promising approach for determining 

public willingness to pay for many public goods—an approach likely to succeed, if 

used carefully, where other methods may fail. The result of 10 years of research by the 

authors aimed at assessing how surveys might best be used to value public goods 

validly and reliably, this book makes a major contribution to what constitutes best 

practice in CV surveys.

Biodiversity and the Law 

Intellectual Property, Biotechnology and Traditional Knowledge 

Edited by Charles R. McManis 

How do we promote global economic development, while simultaneously preserving 

local biological and cultural diversity? This authoritative volume, writen by leading 

legal experts and biological and social scientists from around the world, addresses 

this question in all of its complexity. The first part of the book focuses on biodiversity 

and examines what we are losing, why and what is to be done. The second part 

addresses biotechnology and looks at whether it is part of the solution or part of the 

problem, or perhaps both. The third section examines traditional knowledge, explains 

what it is and how, if at all, it should be protected. The fourth and final part looks at 

ethnobotany and bioprospecting and offers practical lessons from the vast and diverse 

experiences of the contributors.

Making International and National Climate 

Policy Work at the Local Level 

Edited by Lennart J. Lundqvist and 

Anders Biel 

This book is the first thorough examination of the 

challenges to implementing international and national 

climate policy and strategies at the local and individual 

levl. The authors draw on detailed studies in Sweden—so 

often the world leader in effective environmental 

solutions—to examine the full swathe of barriers and 

complexities including governance structures, the 

relationship between experts and the public, political feasibility including tax 

measures, perceptions of fairness and self-interest, the importance of environmental 

values, the roles and perceptions of organizations and professions, the place of 

carbon-free technologies such as wind power, the relationship between national and 

EU regulation, and the monumental challenge of governing the climate in a bordered 

and divided world.

Public and Private in Natural Resource 

Governance 

A False Dichotomy? 

Edited by Thomas Sikor 

Briging together a group of internationally respected researchers, this book provides a 

new perspective on prominent issues in resource governance, including the state, 

NGOs, civil society, communties, participation and hybrid institutions, highlighting the 

three-dimensional nature of relations between public and private. It builds on 

empirical analyses from five fields of natural resource governance and employs a 

comparative approach which goes beyond the specificities of indiv 

dual policy fields, recognizing shared elements and allowing for a greater 

understanding of the dynamics underlying governance processes.

practitioners, presents a coherent and straghtforward 

“how to” approach to the strategic environmental 

assessment (SEA) process. 

This new edition incorporates five years’ worth of 

practical application of the SEA Directive and SEA 

practice more broadly. Additions and updates include the findings of various reviews 

into SEA effectiveness and efficiency and new emerging approaches and their 

advantages and disadvantages. 

The approach and techniques in Strategic Environmental Assessment in Action 

are useful for anyone carrying out or studying SEA at any level, from policy to 

program, international to local, but particularly for practitioners responsible for 

implementing the SEA Directive.

Rationality and the 

Environment 

Decision Making in Environmental Politics 

and Assessment 

Bo Elling 

This revolutionary work argues that ethical and aesthetic 

dimensions can only be brought into environmental 

politics and policies by citizens ctively taking a stand on 

the specific matters in question. The author draws on 

Habermas’s trisection of rationality as cognitiveinstrumental, 

moral-practical and aesthetic-expressive, to 

suggest that truly effective environmental policy needs to activate all three 

approaches and not favor only the rational. To achieve this objective, the author 

argues that public participation in environmental policy and assessment is necessary 

to counteract the dictatorship of technical and economic instrumentality in 

environmental policy—the failure to take ethical and aesthetic rationalities into 

account—and more importantly, how such policy is applied on the ground to shpe our 

natural and material world.

The Biofuel Delusion 

The Fallacy of Large Scale AgroBiofuel 

Production 

Mario Giampietro and Kozo Mayumi 

In this definitive exposé, Mario Giampietro and Kozo 

Mayumi present exhaustive evidence for the case against 

large scale biofuel production from agricultural crops. The 

book begins by showing that the characteristics of agrobiofuels 

make them neither a viable nor a desirable 

alternative to fossil fuels. It then moves on to discuss a 

possibly more worrying issue. Even though agro-biofuels 

are well known, in the field of energy analysis, to be very low quality “energy 

sources”, the biofuel bandwagon rolls on relentlessly in Western governments. In sum, 

this book will be vital, sobering reading for anyone concerned with energy or 

agricultural policy, or bioenergy as a complex ystem.

Climate Change Risks and Food 

Security in Bangladesh 

Winston Yu, Mozaharul Alam, 

Ahmadul Hassan, Abu Saleh Khan, 

Alex Ruane, Cynthia Rosenzweig, 

David Major and James Thurlow 

The climate in Banglades is changing and becoming more 

unpredictable. Whereas there used to be six seasons, now 

there are only four. As a low-lying delta, Bangladesh is 

particularly vulnerable to climate change, whether from 

ice melt from the Himalayan glaciers or from sea levels 

rising. It is estimated that by 2050, some 70 million people of the population could be 

affected by floods and 8 million by drought, while coastal districts will become 

inundated by rising sea levels. As a result, much of the country’s agriculture and food 

security, including wheat and rice crops, will be at risk. The objective of this book is to 

examine the implications of climate change on food security in Bangladesh and to 

identify adaptation measures in the agriculture sector.

Rice Biofortification 

Lessons for Global Science and

Sally Brooks 

Biofortification—the enrichment of staple food crops with 

essential micronutrients—has been heralded as a uniquely 

sustainable solution to the problem of micronutrient 

deficiency or “hidden hunger.” Through an in-depth 

analysis of international rice biofortification efforts across 

the US, Philippines and China, this book provides an 

important critique of such goal-oriented, top-down approaches. The author proposes a 

series of key changes to institutions and practices that might allow more diverse and 

context-responsive alternatives to emerge.

Italy. The crisis has important implications for future 

government trade and food security policies, as countries 

re-evaluate their reliance on potentially more volatile world 

markets to augment domestic supplies of staple foods. 

This book examines how government policies caused and responded to soaring world 

prices in the particular case of rice, which is the world’s most important source of 

calories for the poor. Published with the Food and Agriculture (FAO) Organization of

The Meat Crisis 

Developing More Sustainable Production 

and Consumption 

Edited by Joyce D’Silva and John Webster 

This powerful and challenging book explores the issues 

surrounding the global growth in the roduction and 

consumption of meat and dairy animals and products, 

including cultural and health factors, and the implications 

of the likely intensification of farming for both small-scale 

producers and for the animals. Several chapters explore 

the related environmental issues, from resource use of 

water, cereals and soy, to the impact of livestock production on global warming and 

issues concerning biodiversity, land use and the impacts of different farming systems 

on the environment. A final group of chapters adresses ethical and policy implications 

for the future of food and livestock production and consumption. The overall message 

is clearly that we must eat less meat to help secure a more sustainable and equitable 

world.

Plant Resources for Food, Fuel 

and Conservation 

Robert J. Henry 

Agriculture and food production have a large footprint on 

the landscape globally and compete for space with land 

for nature conservation. This book explores the 

competition between the food needs of a growing human 

population and the conservation of biodiversity as 

intensified by the emerging use of crops for energy 

production.

Seed Trade in Rural Markets 

Implications for Crop Diversity and 

Agricultural Development 

Edited by Leslie Lipper, Leigh Anderson and 

Timothy J. Dalton 

Seed Trade in Rural Markets presents a unique set of 

case studies from Bolivia, India, Kenya, Mali and Mexico 

on agricultural seed and product markets that describe 

three important market characteristics expected to affect 

farmers’ access to seeds and varieties: the range of 

varieties on offer, the information provided about them, 

and relative prices. The case studies, all based around a common framework to aid 

comparability, also provide information on social, agricultural and economic factors 

which may be affecting the market availability, information, and cost of crop genetic 

resources, and ultimately the capacity to stimulate agricultural development.

Animal Breeding, Welfare and 

Society 

Jacky Turner 

This book discusses the methods, the motivations and the 

consequences of human intervention in animal breeding in 

terms of what we know about animal behavior and wellbeing. 

It sets out to challenge both our practice and our 

assumptions—those of society as a whole and the many 

professionals involved in the worldwide animal 

reproduction business. It explores where we are now and 

proposes a future where we have more respect for 

animals as sentient beings and have loosened the reins of reproductive control.

Agriculture, Biodiversity and 

Markets 

Livelihoods and Agroecology in 

Comparative Perspective 

Stewart Lockie and David Carpenter 

Debate about how best to ensure the preservation of 

agricultural biodiversity is caught in a counter-productive 

polemic between proponents and critics of market-based 

instruments and agricultural modernization. However, it is 

argued in this book that neither position does justice to 

the range of strategies that farmers use to manage 

agrobiodiversity and other livelihood assets as they adapt to changing social, 

economic and environmental circumstances. 

The book takes a comparative approach, drawing on empirical case studies from 

across the developed and developing worlds. In doing so, it shows how global trade 

and multilateral institutions bring otherwise disparate communities together in 

networks that exploit and/or preserveagrobiodiversity and other resources.

Future Bioenergy and 

Sustainable Land Use 

German Advisory Council on Global Change 

The central message of Future Bioenergy and 

Sustainable Land Use is that use should be made of the 

sustainable potential of bioenergy, which can be tapped 

all over the world, provided that risks to sustainability are 

excluded. However, this aim will require considerable 

international cooperation and coordination to ensure that 

the use of bioenergy does not endanger food security or 

the goals of nature conservation and climate change 

mitigation. The report thus presents an integrated vision that will provide policymakers 

with clear guidance for the deployment of bioenergy.

A Planet Out of Control? 

Francis Delpeuch, Bernard Maire, Emmanul 

Monnier and Michelle Holdsworth 

This book assesses the nature and scale of the obesity 

epidemic. It proposes that the causes are primarily socioeconomic 

and the result of a distorted agricultural and 

food production and supply system. It argues that we 

should learn how to better manage our physical, social 

and economic environment rather than rely on individual 

lifestyle choices and behavior. The authors draw parallels 

between the obesity crisis and that of climate change, 

both being characterized by over-consumption of 

expensive and scarce resources and requiring radical, urgent, but sustainable 

solutions. The book draws on a wide rnge of literature from anthropology, economics, 

sociology, epidemiology, medicine and nutrition.

The School Food Revolution 

Public Food and the Challenge of SustainableDevelopment 

Kevin Morgan and Roberta Sonnino 

Drawing on new empirical data collected in urban and rural areas of Europe, North 

America and Africa, this book makes an innovative contribution to both political and 

academic efforts to promote sustainable food systems through creative public 

procurement strategies. 

The starting point of the book is that school meal systems can provide significant 

payoffs, including lower food miles, the creation of markets for local producers and 

effective food education initiatives that empower consumers by nurturing their 

capacity to eat healthily. To assess this potential, the book compares a variety of sites 

involved in the school food revolution that feed millions of ethnically diverse young 

people daily.

This boo covers new conceptual and methodological developments in agricultural 

innovation systems, and showcases recent on-the-ground experiences in different 

contexts in Africa. The contributions show how innovation is the outcome of social 

learning through interaction of individuals and organizations in both creating and 

applying knowledge. It brings examples of how space and incentives have been 

created to promote collaboration between farmers, research, extension and the private 

sectors to develop better technologies and institutional arrangements that can 

alleviate poverty. In 25 broad-ranging chapters, the book reflects cutting-edge thinking 

and practice in catalyzing and supporting innovation processes in agriculture and 

management of natural resources.

Multifunctional Rural Land 

Managemen 

Economics and Policies 

Edited by Floor Brouwer and 

C. Martijn van der Heide 

Because land is a finite resource, spatial policies which 

are formulated and implemented to increase the area 

allocated to one use imply a decrease in land available for 

other uses. As a result, at many locations, multi-purpose 

land use is becoming increasingly important. This notion 

of multi-purpose land use is reflected in the term 

multifunctionality. This volume provides insights into 

viable strategies of sustainable management practices allowing multiple functions 

sustained by agriculture and natural resources in rural areas. It shows how the rural 

economy and policies can balance and cope with these competing demands and 

includes numerous case studies from Europe, North America and developing countries.

What is Land For? 

The Food, Fuel and Climate Change Debate 

Edited by Michael Winter and Matt Lobley 

Policy and politics have not necessarily caught up with these market and industry-led 

changes and some environmentalists are beginning to challenge the assumptions of 

the new productivism. Is it necessarily the case, they ask, that agriculture’s best 

contribution to tackling climate change is to grow bioenergy crops o invest in 

anaerobic-digesters or make land over for windfarms? Might not there be an equally 

important role in maximizing the carbon sequestration or water-holding properties of 

biodiverse land? What is Land For? tackles these key cutting-edge issues of this new 

debate by setting out a baseline of evidence and ideas.

The New Peasantries 

Struggles for Autonomy and Sustainability 

in an Era of Empire and Globalization 

Jan Douwe van der Ploeg 

Thisbook explores the role and significance of the peasantry in an era of globalization, 

particularly within the agribusiness and food industries. It argues that the peasant 

condition is characterized by a struggle for autonomy that finds expression in the creation 

and development of a self-governed resource base and the associated forms of 

sustainable development. In this respect, the peasant mode of farming fundamentally 

differs from entrepreneurial and corporate ways of farming. The originality of the book 

resides in its placing peasants centerstage. The author demonstrates that the peasantries 

of this world are far from waning. Instead, both industrialized and developing countries 

are witnessing complex and richly checkered processes of “repeasantization”.

Forecasting Forest Futures 

A Hybrid ModellingApproach to the 

Assessment of Sustainability of Forest 

Ecosystems and their Values 

Hamish Kimmins, Juan A. Blanco, Brad Seely, Clive Welham and 

Kim Scoullar 

This book describes the hybrid approach to modeling forest ecosystems and their 

possible response to natural and management-induced disturbance. The book describes 

the FORECAST family of ecosystem management models at three different spatial scales

spatial scales. The book will help forest mnagers to understand what to expect from 

ecosystem-based forest models; serve as a tool for use in teaching about sustainability, scenario analysis and value tradeoffs 

in natural resources management; and assist policy makers, managers and researches working in assessment of 

sustainable forest management and ecosystem management.

Ecosystem Goods and Services from 

Plantation Forests 

This is the first book to examine explicitly the non-timber goods and services provided 

by plantation forests, including soil, water and biodiversity conservation, as well as 

carbon sequestration and the provision of local livelihoods. The authors show that, if 

we require a higher provision of ecosystem goods and ervices from both temperate 

and tropical plantations, new approaches to their management are required.

Degraded Forests in Eastern Africa 

Management and Restoration 

Edited by Frans Bongers and Timm Tennigkeit 

Forest degradation as a result of logging, shifting cultivation, agriculture and 

urban development is a major issue throughout the tropics. It leads to loss in soil 

fertility, water resources and biodiversity, as well as contributing to climate 

change. Efforts are therefore required to try to minimize further degradation and 

restore tropical forests in a sustainable way. 

This is the first research-based book to examine this problem in East Africa. A 

wide range of forest types are covered, current management practices are 

assessed and examples of good practice are presented.

Forests for People 

Community Rights and Forest Tenure 

Reform 

Edited by Anne M Larson, Deborah Barry, 

Ganga Ram Dahal and Carol J. Pierce 

Colfer 

In recent years, governments in the South have 

transferred at least 200 million hectares of forests to 

communities living in and around them. This book 

assesses the experience of what appears to be a 

new international trend that has substantially 

increased the shar of the world’s forests under community administration. Based on 

research in over 30 communities in selected countries in Asia and Latin America, it 

examines the process and outcomes of granting new rights, assessing a variety of 

governance issues in implementation, access to forest products and markets and 

outcomes for people and forests.

Governing Africa’s Forests in 

a Globalized World 

Edited by Laura A. German, Alain 

Karsenty andAnne-Marie Tiani 

Many countries around the world are engaged in 

decentralization processes, and most African 

countries face serious problems with forest 

governance, from benefits sharing to illegality and 

sustainable forest management. This book 

summarizes experiences to date on the extent and 

nature of decentralization and its outcomes, most of 

which suggest an underperformance of governance reforms, and explores the 

viability of different governance instruments in the context of weak governance and 

expanding commercial pressures over forests. The book builds on earlier volumes 

exploring different dimensions of decentralization and perspectives from other 

world regions, and distills dimensions of forest governance that are both unique to 

Africa and representative of broader global patterns. Authors ground their analysis 

in relevant theory while attempting to distill implications of their findings for policy 

and practice.

Monitoring Forest Biodiversity 

Improving Conservation Through Ecologically- 

Responsible Management 

Toby Gardner 

The purpose of this book is to identify the key elements of a robust 

and pragmatic framework for how monitoring and evaluation programs 

can make a more meaningful contribution to the development of an 

ecologically sustainable system of forest use. To be meaningful 

monitoring programs need to be purposeful and grounded in clear 

objectives, effective in providing reliable assessments of the links 

between management activities and changes in forest biodiversity, 

and realistic in light of real-world financial, logistica and social constraints. Science can make a 

substantial contribution to achieving these aims but a key component of success lies in overcoming the 

organizational insularity that currently exists between researchers, managers and bureaucrats.

The Reality of Precaution 

Comparing Risk Regulation in the United States and Europe 

Edited by Jonathan B. Wiener, Michael D. Rogers, James K. Hammitt 

and Peter H. Sand 

The Reality of Precution is the first study to go beyond the rhetoric of precaution as an 

abstract principle and test the reality of precaution in practice. Challenging conventional 

wisdom about European and U.S. approaches to risk regulation, this groundbreaking 

resource finds that since the 1970s there has been little transatlantic difference in the 

overall level of precaution, but that instead there have been variations in precaution across 

particular individual risks. 

Combining a dozen case studies, a quantitative analysis of almost 3,000 risks, and 

cross-cutting chapters on politics, law, and risk perceptions, this book argues that the 

relationship between U.S. and European regulatory approaches is best understood not 

as conflict or competition, nor in terms of divergence or reversal, but rather as a 

processof selective application of precaution to particular risks, and a continuing 

exchange of ideas yielding mutual cooperation and hybridization.

Post-Disaster Reconstruction 

Lessons from Aceh 

Matthew Clarke, Ismet Fanany and Sue Kenny 

Post-Disaster Reconstruction will be the first major book 

that analyzes the different perspectives and experiences of the 

enormous post-tsunami reconstruction effort. It looks speifically 

at the reconstruction efforts in Aceh, one of the regions most 

heavily-hit by the tsunami and a province that has until recently 

suffered nearly three decades of armed conflict. Positioning the 

reconstruction efforts within Aceh’s multi-layered historical, 

cultural, socio-political and religious contexts, the authors explore diverse experiences and 

assessments of the reconstruction. It considers the importance of the political and religious 

settings of the reconstruction, the roles of communities and local non-government organizations 

and the challenges faced by Indonesian and international agencies. From the in-depth 

examination of this important case study of disaster reconstruction—significant not only 

because of the huge scale of the natural disaster and response but also the post-conflict 

issues—the editors draw together the lessons learned for the future of Acehand make general 

recommendations for post-disaster and post-conflict reconstruction-making.

Animals as Biotechnology 

Ethics, Sustainability and Critical Animal 

Studies 

Richard Twine 

In Anials as Biotechnology, sociologist Richard Twine 

places the questioning of human/animal relations at the heart 

of sustainability and climate change debates. This book is 

shaped by the incongruous parallel emergence of two 

approaches to nonhuman animals. The animal sciences 

concerned with the efficient and profitable production of 

animals into meat and dairy products now embrace molecular 

knowledge as a means to extract new sources of biocapital from farmed animal bodies. 

However the emergence of animal studies and critical animal studies—mostly in the 

humanities and social sciences—work to question the dominan instrumental character of 

our relations with other animals. Twine considers the emergence of these approaches to 

bring into relief the paradox of a novel biotechnological power to breed new forms of 

animals at the very time when critical animal studies and threats such as climate change 

pose serious questions of anthropocentrism and hubris.

Rolf Lidskog, Linda Soneryd and Ylva Uggla 

This book focuses on a set of key questions relating to

theory, discourse theory and science and technological 

studies, and employing original research, the authors 

analyze the regulation of four kinds of complex and 

trans-boundary environmental issues: oil protection in 

the Baltic Sea, mobile phones and radiation protection, 

climate change adaptation and genetically modified 

crops. The outcomes include insights for policymakers, 

regulators and researchers into how dominant frames are constructed, legitimate 

actors are configured and authority is established. This in turn exposes the conditions 

for, and possibility of, developing regulation, making authoritative rules and shaping 

relevant knowledge in order to govern complex environmental risks.

Risk communication helps 

companies, governments and

anticipate problems before 

they result in an irreversible breakdown in communication. 

Without good risk communication and good risk 

management, policy-makers have no roadmap to guide them 

through unforeseen problems and this frequently derails the 

best policies and results in a breakdown in communication 

and a loss of trust on behalf of those they are trying hardest 

to persuade. This book provides effective methods for 

managing and communicating risk effectively in post-trust 

societies.

Influenza and Public Health 

Learning from Past Pandemics 

Edited by Tamara Giles-Vernick and Susan 

Craddock 

With Jennifer Gunn 

This book investigates past influenza pandemics in light of 

today’s, so as to afford critical insights into possible 

transmission patterns, experiences, mistakes, and 

interventions. It explores several pandemics over the past 

century, from the infamous 1918 Spanish Influenza, the 

avian flu epidemic of 2003, and the novel H1N1 pandemic 

of 2009, to lesser-known outbreaks such as the 1889-90 influenza pandemic and the 

Hong Kong Flu of 1968. Contributors to the volume examine cases from a wide range 

of disciplines, including history, sociology, epidemiology, virology, geography, and 

public health, identifying patterns that cut across pandemics in order to guide 

contemporary responses to infectious outbreaks.

Avian Influenza 

Sciece, Policy and Politics 

Edited by Ian Scoones 

This book explores how virus genetics, ecology and 

epidemiology intersect with economic, political and policy 

processes in a variety of places—from Bangkok to 

Washington, to Jakarta, Cairo, Rome and London. It 

focuses on the interaction of the international and 

national responses—and in particular the experiences of 

Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand. It asks how 

effective is the disease surveillance and response 

system—can it respond to a new pandemic threat? The comparative analysis reveals 

the challenges and limitations of a technocratic, centralized response, and the need to 

take seriously local contexts. Drawing from these experiences, the book concludes 

with a discussion of future prospects and challenges, examining in particular what a 

“One World, One Health” approach—where approaches to animal, human and 

ecosystem health are integrated—would look like in practice.

Epidemics 

Science, Governance and Social Justice 

Edited by Sarah Dry and Melissa Leach 

As this book explores, it is often the most vulnerable 

members of a population—the poor, the social excluded 

and the already ill—who are likely to suffer most from 

epidemic diseases. At the same time, they may be less 

likely to benefit from responses that may be designed 

from a global perspective that neglects social, ecological 

and political conditions on the ground. This book aims to 

bring the focus back to these marginal populations to 

reveal the often unintended consequences of current policy responses to epidemics. 

Important implications emerge—for how epidemics are thought about and 

represented, for how surveillance and response isdesigned, and for whose knowledge 

and perspectives should be included.

Tackling Wicked Problems 

Through the Transdisciplinary Imagination 

Edited by Valerie A. Brown, John A. Harris 

and Jacqueline Y. Russell 

This book offers a transdisciplinary, open approach for those 

working towards resolving these “wicked” problems and 

highlights the crucial role of this “transdisciplinary 

imagination” in addressing the shift to sustainable futures. 

Tackling Wicked Problems provides readers with a 

framework that will guide the design and conduct of their 

own open-ended enquiries. In this approach, academic 

disciplines are combined with personal, local and strategic understanding and researchers 

are required to recognize multiple knowledge cultures, accept the inevtability of 

uncertainty, and clarify their own and others’ ethical positions. The authors then comment 

on 15 case studies which provide real life examples of how researchers have engaged with 

the opportunities and challenges of conducting transdisciplinary inquiries.

The Principles of Green 

Urbanism 

Regenerating the Post-Industrial City 

Steffen Lehmann 

This book presents different models for sustainable urban 

growth, based on the principles of “Green Urbanism”. 

Current and emergent forms of urbanism are influenced by 

climate change, leading to the idea of a new generation 

of zero-emission cities. These cities are seen as applying 

new concepts in densification and expansion, designed 

with energy efficiency and sustainability as principal 

criteria. The aim of this type of Systems Thinking is to connect and integrate 

sustainable design rinciples with a holistic idea for the future of our cities to generate 

future-proof strategies for the revitalization of the urban landscape.

urban development, exemplified by the UK 

government’s commitment that new residential 

development achieve “zero-carbon” by 2016 and all 

development be zero-carbon by 2019. In particular the 

book looks at how sustainable urban evelopment can 

be delivered on the ground through a comprehensive 

analysis of governance concerning new urban 

development. The book considers how a variety of policy tools could influence markets 

and governance processes to promote urban sustainability. It provides an innovative 

conceptual emphasis on how learning within planning processes and market 

structures is essential to achieve sustainable urban development.

Transport for Suburbia 

Beyond the Automobile Age 

Paul Mees 

This book argues that the secret of European-style public 

transport lies in a generalized model of network planning that 

has worked in places as diverse as rural Switzerland, the 

Brazilian city of Curitiba and the Canadian cities of Toronto and 

Vancouver. It shows how this model can be adapted to 

suburban, exurbn and even rural areas to provide a genuine 

alternative to the car, and outlines the governance, funding and 

service planning policies that underpin the success of the 

world’s best public transport systems.

Convivial Urban Spaces 

Creating Effective Public Spaces 

Henry Shaftoe 

Despite developments in urban design during the last few 

decades, architects, urban planners and designers often 

continue to produce areas of bland, commercially-led 

urban fabric that deliver the basic functional 

requirements of shelter, work and leisure but are socially 

unsustainable and likely generators of future problems. 

Convivial Urban Spaces argues that successful urban 

public spaces are an essential part of a sustainable built 

environment. Without them we are likely to drift into an increasingly private and 

polarized society, with all the problems that ensue. Taking a multidisciplinary 

approach, this book draws on new primary research, and the literature and theory of 

environmental psychology and urban design, to advance our understanding of wha 

makes effective public spaces. The result is a practical and clearly presented guide to 

urban public space for planners, architects and students of the urban environment.

and Rogelio Fernández-Castilla 

Massive urban growth an either help pave the way to sustainable development or 

greatly exacerbate poverty and environmental stress. The outcome depends on decisions 

being made now. The first part of this book takes a critical look at the forecasting of 

population growth and migration using the UN Population Division’s cities databases. 

The second part looks specifically at urbanization and poverty, focusing attention on the 

critical issues of urban shelter, land and service provision and the socioeconomic and 

demographic information needed for improving governance and social programs. Part 

three looks at social difference, equity and urban demography, pointing out the potential 

advantages of urbanization for poverty reduction, the empowerment of women and 

youths, and even the reduction of HIV/AIDS. The final part of the book examines social 

and sustainable use of urban space including coping with urban expansion, urban 

sprawl, global environmental change and urbanization. There is also special treatment of 

China, and the critical case of urbanization in low elevation coastal zones in the context 

of global climate change and rising sea levels.

The Limits to Travel 

How Far Will You Go? 

David Metz 

In this intriguing book, David Metz examines the 

inadequacies inherent in the current thinking, along with 

the resulting problems, such as pollution, congestion and 

noise. He highlights the threat from the rapid increase in 

car use in China and India, and explores the general travel 

experience, public versus private transport, and transport 

technology. In considering to what extent transport could 

be avoided, he arrives at a new paradigm to underpin 

sustainable transport policies, based on the fundamental 

characteristics of human mobility and focusing on quality, not quantity, of travel.

Harmonious Cities 

UN-HABITAT 

The world’s urban population now exceeds the world’s rural population. But with the 

concomitant strain this will place upon current urban infrastructures, what does this mean for 

the state of our cities? This book adopts the concept of Harmonious Cities as a theoretical 

framework in order to understand today’s urban world, and as an operational tool to confront 

the most important challenges facing urbanization and development processes. For the first 

time, preliminary findings of a global analysis of spatial, socio-economic and environmental 

dimensions at the city level are presented in order to promote greater understnding of the 

dynamics and forces that promote harmony in cities. The book also analyzes the determinants 

of urban growth or decline, which can help guide planners in supporting processes that lead 

to harmonious urban development. The impact upon cities of critial emerging issues, such as 

climate change and rising sea levels, are also addressed.
