Energy Subsidies : Lessons Learned in Assessing their Impact and Designing Policy Reforms
ISBN: 9781874719113 / Angielski / Twarda / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The need to reform energy subsidies was one of the pressing issues highlighted at the World Summit on Sustainable Development.

They can also have high financial and economic costs, and often only bring few benefits to the people for whom they are intended.
Removing, reducing or restructuring such energy subsidies is helpful for the environment and the economy at the same time. Potential social costs in terms of...

Advanced Power Systems Using Bituminous Coal
ISBN: 9781613246702 / Angielski / Twarda / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Today's energy situation has created a dilemma for coal use in the United States. On one hand, the environmental challenges of using coal appear formidable, particularly with growing concern over the impact of carbon dioxide emissions on global climate change. On the other hand, the projected demand for electricity, coupled with high fuel costs, presents a near-term opportunity for the greater use of coal to ensure energy security for America. This solution to coal's 'Catch-22' can be achieved through technological advancements that enable coal-based energy plants to produce much needed...

Grazing Ecology: Vegetation & Soil Impact
ISBN: 9781621004363 / Angielski / Twarda / 195 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Grazing management is one of the most important management activities world-wide, and it has been a traditional sustainable land use in many areas of the planet. This book demonstrates the poor extrapolation capacity that grazing studies have due to site-dependent effects and sensitivity to changes in weather conditions and soil characteristics. Therefore, researchers should be cautious when suggesting management recommendations, such as removing all grazing animals or reducing grazing activities. A highly variable ecological force such as grazing, with important environmental and social...

Ecosystems & Natural Resources: An Adaptive Management
ISBN: 9781613247792 / Angielski / Twarda / 165 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Adaptive management is the process of incorporating new scientific and programmatic information into the implementation of a project or plan to ensure that the goals of the activity are being reached efficiently. It promotes flexible decision-making to modify existing activities or create new activities if new circumstances arise or if projects are not meeting their goals. The complex and dynamic nature of ecosystems make their restoration and management amenable to an adaptive management approach, and the concept is being implemented at scales that include entire regions or river basins....

This book explores the National Forest System with a focus on congressionally designated special management areas and road-less area initiatives. Congress authorised the President to reserve public forests to protect the lands and resources.

Rethinking Park Protection: Treading the Uncommon Ground of Environmental Beliefs
ISBN: 9781845939991 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In today's society it can be hidden beliefs that guide the management of parks, treating them as natural resources rather than national assets. These current management approaches often lead to deferred maintenance on park infrastructure, causing inadequate protection from vandalism, poaching and theft of artifacts. A sad demise, often due to an outdated belief that parks are non-essential leisure services rather than necessities for a vibrant modern life. This book will dispel the lethargy of the parks profession by challenging readers to reconsider their beliefs about parks and their...

Governing Africa's Forests in a Globalized World
ISBN: 9780415507172 / Angielski / Miękka Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 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. Findings are grouped into two thematic areas:...
