Corporate Irresponsibility: America's Newest Export
ISBN: 9780300090239 / Angielski / Twarda / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Corporations are often so focused on making short-term profits for their stockholders that they behave in ways that adversely affect their employees, the environment, consumers, American politics, and even the long-term well-being of the corporation, says Lawrence Mitchell in this provocative book. This is a significant issue not only in the United States but also in the world, for many countries are beginning to emulate the American model of corporate governance. Mitchell criticizes this emphasis on profit maximization and the corporate legal structure that encourages it, and he offers...

Why Conservation Is Failing and How It Can Regain Ground
ISBN: 9780300110401 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Critics of environmental laws complain that such rules often burden people unequally, restrict individual liberty, and undercut private property rights. In formulating responses to these criticisms, the conservation effort has stumbled badly, says Eric T. Freyfogle in this thought-provoking book. Conservationists and environmentalists haven't done their intellectual homework, he contends, and they have failed to offer an understandable, compelling vision of healthy lands and healthy human communities.

Towards Sustainable Development in Central America and the Caribbean
ISBN: 9780333793374 / Angielski / Twarda / 229 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since the economic decline in the early 1980s, most countries in Central America and the Caribbean have returned to positive growth rates.

Several aspects of sustainability are assessed, in particular macroeconomic, social, and ecological aspects.

Inspiring Progress: Religions' Contributions to Sustainable Development
ISBN: 9780393328325 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The absence of strong spiritual and ethical dimensions in twentieth-century development helped to produce one of the most violent, environmentally impoverished, and economically unequal centuries in human history. Ethical and spiritual contributions in the twenty-first century are needed to rectify these pitfalls.

In doing so, religious traditions help to create the new worldviews needed to build sustainable civilizations in the new century. Fortunately,...

Economics and Ecology: New Frontiers and Sustainable Development
ISBN: 9780412481802 / Angielski / Twarda / 205 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the Summer of 1991, Bob Carling, who was then Life Sciences Editor of Chapman & Hall, approached me over the possibility of producing an edited volume of works on economics and ecology. As we discussed the matter further, what became clear is that there is a growing literature on the' frontiers' of both disciplines that has involved economists 'borrowing' from ecology and ecologists 'borrowing' from economics. We decided that this volume should try to provide a small cross-section of that literature. I was very much interested in editing this volume for several reasons. First, one of my...

The Biology of Rarity: Causes and Consequences of Rare--Common Differences
ISBN: 9780412633805 / Angielski / Twarda / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book began life as a review article. That article spawned a symposium which was, in turn, greatly expanded to form the present volume. As the project moved through these developmental stages (hopefully, towards attainment of its full maturity), a number of people have provided invaluable assistance to us, and we would like to take this opportunity to thank them. Gordon Orians must certainly take a high place in that list. He has been both a friend and mentor to W.E.K., and many of the topics explored in this book have emerged from the resultant dialogue. His thought processes, ideas and...

Sustaining Development in Mineral Economies: The Resource Curse Thesis
ISBN: 9780415094825 / Angielski / Twarda / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It is widely believed that natural mineral resources are desirable. However there is growing evidence that this may not always be the case. Indeed, it seems that natural assets can distort the economy to such a degree that the benefit actually becomes a curse.
In Sustaining Development in Mineral Economies, Richard Auty highlights these drawbacks and the devastating effect they can have on developing economies. With reference to six ore-exporters (viz. Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Jamaica, Zambia and Papua New Guinea) he outlines how things can go badly wrong. He particularly stresses... It is widely believed that natural mineral resources are desirable.

The Condition of Sustainability
ISBN: 9780415194938 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This text progresses both the theory and practice of the concept of conditions of sustainability, by incorporating key elements of contemporary social theory into sustainability debates, both at a conceptual and practical level. The authors begin by considering why most current approaches to sustainable development have proved inadequate, arguing that most approaches concentrate on the definition and policing of various sustainability limits, and a more dynamic conception is necessary. Case study material, used for illustration and analysis throughout the book, focuses on the food system,...
