Game Practice and the Environment
This book summarises the latest achievements of researchers involved in the application of game theory to the analysis of environmental matters. It provides an overview of different methods and applications, and gives the reader new insights on the solutions to complex environmental problems. The authors investigate various game theoretic approaches, including cooperative and non-cooperative game theory, and analyse both dynamic and static games. They illustrate the application of these approaches to global and local environmental problems, and present novel but effective tools to support environmental policy making. In particular, they focus on three important issues; climate negotiations and policy, the sharing of environmental costs, and environmental management and pollution control.
Illusive Identity
Illusive Identity is a transnational exploration of the evolution of working-class consciousness within modern Western culture. The work traces how the rise of popular culture blurred the definition and dulled the influence of class identity in Europe and the United States in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Chapters tackling changing class consciousness in Britain, Germany, Italy, and the United States offer rich insight into the movement from a traditional community-based social identity to a modern consumer-based culture; a mass culture influenced by industrialization, new social institutions, and the powerful imagery of new media. Illusive Identity vividly demonstrates the transformative impact of modernity on the laboring classes, as advertising, entertainment, and the rise of the popular press replaced traditionally shared narratives about the nature of work with a new and liberating cultural paradigm.

The History and Decoration of the Ponte S. Angelo
The Ponte S. Angelo, the principal bridge of Rome, was dedicated by the Emperor Hadrian as a link between his mausoleum and the city of Rome in AD 134. From that time until the end of the nineteenth century, it played an important role in the history of the city as the major gateway to the Vatican, a significant point along the routes of pilgrims and processions. The present study considers the history of the bridge from antiquity, with major emphasis on the work of Bernini in decorating the bridge with angels carrying the instruments of Christ's Passion (1667-72). The documents for the decoration are here published for the first time in full, and oeuvre catalogues are given for the various sculptors who participated. An indispensable volume for the study of Roman Baroque sculpture.
