Conservation and Development Interventions at the Wildlife/livestock Interface
During a forum held at the Vth IUCN World Parks Congress in South Africa in 2003, the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and the IUCN SSC Veterinary and Southern Africa Sustainable Use Specialist Groups (VSG and SASUSG) brought together nearly 80 experts from Africa and beyond to develop ways to tackle the immense health-related conservation and development challenges at the wildlife/domestic animal/human interface facing East and Southern Africa today, and tomorrow. This volume focuses on several themes of critical importance to the future of animal agriculture, wildlife, and, of course, people: competition over grazing and water resources, disease mitigation, local and global food security and other potential sources of conflict related to the overall challenges of land-use planning and the pervasive reality of resource constraints. This publication seeks to draw attention to the need to move towards a "one health" perspective - an approach that was the foundation of the discussions in Durban, and a theme pervading these thought-provoking, insightful, and practical Proceedings.

Climate Change Impacts in the United States, Highlights
This book presents the major findings and selected highlights from Climate Change Impacts in the United States, the third National Climate Assessment. The National Climate Assessment assesses the science of climate change and its impacts across the United States, now and throughout this century. It documents climate change related impacts and responses for various sectors and regions, with the goal of better informing public and private decision-making at all levels. A team of more than 300 experts, guided by a 60-member National Climate Assessment and Development Advisory Committee, produced the full report. The assessment draws from a large body of scientific peer-reviewed research, technical input reports, and other publicly available sources; all sources meet the standards of the Information Quality Act. The report was extensively reviewed by the public and experts, including a panel of the National Academy of Sciences, the 13 Federal agencies of the U.S. Global Change Research Program, and the Federal Committee on Environment, Natural Resources, and Sustainability.
The Buddhist Investigator
Frank Albert is a retired CIA operative who is now a private investigator in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His secretary/assistant, Debbie, also has an important role in the narrative as it unfolds. Frank receives a letter from a young man, John Grabowski, who has been tricked into allowing a device to be surgically implanted in his body, which device transmits everything that John sees and hears to the remote operator of the device. The device allows the operator to speak to John, and he can also inflict excruciating pain and Nausea if John doesn’t follow his instructions. Frank agrees to try to help John, and the ensuing struggle is fraught with death and danger as Frank discovers that the device was developed and is being tested under a contract from a rogue arm of a Federal Government intelligence agency. The Chicago mob is also involved as the enforcement arm of the unscrupulous doctor who is the prime contractor on the project. Frank is a Buddhist, and writes a Blog about Buddhism, short excerpts of which appear at the beginning of each chapter. These are not part of the narrative but give insight into Frank's psyche and motivation.
