The Economics and Ecology of Biodiversity Decline
ISBN: 9780521635790 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The cause of global change has been the subject of heated debate in the past few years, especially in relation to climate change and biodiversity decline. However, a systematic explanation for changes in the biosphere at the global level has still not been found. In this volume, a wide range of viewpoints from ecology and economics are surveyed to see if some light can be shed on this problem. Economists analyze how economic growth predictably alters the earth, and ecologists consider how the drive for fitness and consequent population growth changes the globe. Both look at the institutional...

The Economics of Managing Biotechnologies
ISBN: 9781402004995 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The advent of new biotechnologies implies significant changes in the world, both biologically and industrially. Biologically, these new technologies represent changes on a scale never before witnessed in the context of evolutionary systems. How these systems will respond to these changes is uncertain and potentially very significant. The first part of this volume addresses these issues in a series of chapters considering the manner in which societies might analyse and manage these systemic responses to biotechnological changes. The second part of the volume addresses the industrial... The advent of new biotechnologies implies significant changes in the world, both biologically and industrially.
