Natural Hazards, Unnatural Disasters: The Economics of Effective Prevention
ISBN: 9780821380505 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Earthquakes, droughts, floods, and storms are natural hazards, but unnatural disasters are the deaths and damages that result from human acts of omission and commission. Every disaster is unique, but each exposes actions by individuals and governments at different levels that, had they been different, would have resulted in fewer deaths and less damage. Prevention is possible, and this book examines what it takes to do this cost-effectively. It looks at disasters primarily through an economic lens. Economists emphasize self-interest to explain how people choose the amount of prevention,...

Sunken Billions Revisited: Progress and Challenges in Global Marine Fisheries
ISBN: 9781464809194 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) This report updates previous studies that measured in economic terms the extent of biological losses attributable to overfishing globally. The new estimates assess these 'sunken billions' at $83 billion annually. The report further shows that a clear path can lead to the recovery of these considerable losses, including through significant reduction in global fishing overcapacity. A breakdown between regions is also included, showing that the effort needed to achieve this reform will not be felt equally throughout the world. While the cost of such reform will likely be high, the expected...
