Transboundary Water Management and the Climate Change Debate
ISBN: 9780415835152 / Angielski / Miękka / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Climate change has an impact on the ability of transboundary water management institutions to deliver on their respective mandates. The starting point for this book is that actors within transboundary water management institutions develop responses to the climate change debate, as distinct from the physical phenomenon of climate change. Actors respond to this debate broadly in three distinct ways - adapt, resist (as in avoiding the issue) and subvert (as in using the debate to fulfil their own agenda). The book charts approaches which have been taken over the past two decades to...

Human Activities and the Tropical Rainforest: Past, Present and Possible Future
ISBN: 9789048149520 / Angielski / Miękka / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Arising initially from a conference, the papers published here have been integrated into book form to provide information on human activities and the tropical rainforest in the past and present, and on the possible future of the rainforest, in a unique way. Other books have considered some, but not all, of these themes; however, none has stressed the continuity of change over time and its possible outcome for the people of the forest as well as for the forest itself.
Because of the approach taken, this book should appeal across traditional disciplinary boundaries. Indeed a prime aim has... Arising initially from a conference, the papers published here have been integrated into book form to provide information on human activities and the ...

Decentralization and Poverty Reduction
ISBN: 9783639343748 / Angielski / Miękka / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Over the last two decades, there has been a worldwide trend towards decentralization of power and resources to lower tiers of governments especially in developing countries. Even though the motives for doing so are diverse, mostly it is considered as a political reaction to the failure of traditional top-down anti- poverty efforts. However, academic literature reveals that evidences regarding to whether this decentralization policy is working for the poor are not conclusive. This book, therefore, approaching decentralization as multidimensional process, presents an in-depth analysis of its...

Food Security Status of Rural Households in North-Western Ethiopia
ISBN: 9783639350128 / Angielski / Miękka / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ensuring food-security among rural households has remained a greater challenge to Sub-Saharan Africa, of which Ethiopia takes the lions share. The incidence of food insecurity is going beyond areas of scanty rainfall extending to all corners of the country, North-western Ethiopia, where extensive arable virgin land with potential agriculture is found. However, sufficient amount of summer rainfall and green forest coverage of the region have masked prevailing food shortage. Despite this fact, most food-security studies in Ethiopia have been concentrated in other parts, ignoring the...

Placing Memory and Remembering Place in Canada
ISBN: 9780774818414 / Angielski / Miękka / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Over the past two decades, many books and articles have explored the larger meaning of public acts of remembrance. Although these studies have brought the links between public memory, imperialism, and nation building into focus, they overlook local expressions of memory that lie at the heart of our everyday experiences and identities. Placing Memory and Remembering Place in Canada maps a fascinating terrain in memory studies by shifting the focus to local places that sit at the intersection of memory making and identity formation - the main street, the city square, the village museum,...

Planning for Rural Development
ISBN: 9783639358490 / Angielski / Miękka / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Rural areas in most of the developing world have for a long time not benefited from the development programmes initiated by their governments. Using field data, the author comparatively analyses the prospects of decentralised development initiatives through local institutions in Kakamega District, Kenya, and West Bengal, India. Dr. Opata argues that despite efforts by the governments in the two countries to promote development, the quality of life for the majority of people has not changed. In Kenya and India, a highly uneven pattern of development is apparent. It is observed that since...
