Numerous textboxes describing additional relevant material or case studies are also included. The global biodiversity crisis is now un...
Against Extinction
'Conservation in the 21st century needs to be different and this book is a good indicator of why.' Bulletin of British Ecological Society Against Extinction tells the history of wildlife conservation from its roots in the 19th century, through the foundation of the Society for the Preservation of the Wild Fauna of the Empire in London in 1903 to the huge and diverse international movement of the present day. It vividly portrays conservation's legacy of big game hunting, the battles for the establishment of national parks, the global importance of species conservation and debates over the sustainable use of and trade in wildlife. Bill Adams addresses the big questions and ideas that have driv...

1988 yılından bu yana Türkiye çevre koruma savaşımı içinde eylemci, yazar ve bilim insanı olarak bulunuyorum. Kitap, bu savaşımın 1989-1999 arasındaki ilk on yılının anı-belgeselidir. Çok sayıda renkli fotoğrafla zenginleştirdiğim ve her şeyi ile tek kişilik bu çalışmaya destek ve tanıtımlarınızı bekliyorum. Kitap, Osmaniye ve Doğu Akdeniz çıkışlı küresel çevre sorunlarıyla mücadele ederken yazarın başına gelenleri, bölgede kurulmak istenen termik ve nükleer santrallere karşı yükseltilen mücadelenin öyküsünü belge, fotoğraf ve tanıklarına dayanarak anlatmak çabasındadır.

Twisting in the Wind
Whereas most scholars study alternative energy policy in developed, Western nations, Oksan Bayulgen wonders why renewable energy has not advanced in countries that do not have deep fossil fuel resources. This book focuses on the political determinants of clean energy transitions, especially in developing country settings, which most of the literature has overlooked. Using an in-depth case study of energy policymaking in Turkey, Bayulgen constructs a dynamic, multidimensional theoretical model to explain the political feasibility of energy solutions to climate change in much of the world. By using Turkey as a case study, she clearly shows the role of the state and elites in energy policies that have failed to make the transition to renewables. This timely topic will be of interest to scholars, policymakers, energy investors, and anyone interested in environmental studies.
The Birds of Turkey
The Birds of Turkey is the first avifauna to document this country's amazing ornithological diversity. Turkey - ornithologically one of the most fascinating countries in the Western Palearctic - lies not only at the crossroads between Europe and Asia, but also at the meeting point of a variety of biomes. The extensive semi-deserts of the Middle East reach their northernmost limit in southeastern Turkey, while the Pontic Mountains, which dominate much of the north of the country, support a principally European fauna, along with near-endemics such as Caucasian Grouse, Green Warbler, Caspian Snowcock and Krüper's Nuthatch. In Central Turkey, huge saline lakes hold colonies of flamingos, pelica...
