From Landscape Research to Landscape Planning
This book provides guidelines for those pursuing landscape projects based on integrative concepts – interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity – whether they are members of an integrative research team or individuals working on a problem that demands integration. They must define terminology, choose appropriate methodologies, overcome epistemological barriers and cope with the high expectations of some stakeholders while encouraging others to participate at all.
Environment Concerns in Rights-of-Way Management 8th International Symposium
The management of rights-of-way by electric and telephone utilities, highway departments, gas pipeline companies, and railroads around the world is guided and constrained by policies and regulations to protect the environment. Companies that manage rights-of-way are required to comply with these regulations, and are seeking the most cost-effective management practices that, at the same time, demonstrate stewardship of the environment. Protection of biodiversity and sustainable development are especially important as national goals in many countries, and rights-of-way managers are seeking practical ways to include public participation in their operations. * Addresses environmental issues in rights-of-way planning and management * Provides a forum for information exchange among various agencies, industries, environmental consultants, and academic organizations * Presents peer-reviewed papers to help achieve a better understanding of current environmental issues involved in rights-of-way management

Sustainability and Communities of Place
The concept of sustainability holds that the social, economic, and environmental factors within human communities must be viewed interactively and systematically. Sustainable development cannot be understood apart from a community, its ethos, and ways of life. Although broadly conceived, the pursuit of sustainable development is a local practice because every community has different needs and quality of life concerns. Within this framework, contributors representing the disciplines of anthropology, sociology, geography, economics, law, public policy, architecture, and urban studies explore sustainability in communities in the Pacific, Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa, Eastern Europe, and No...

Canadian Geography
Canadian Geography: A Scholarly Bibliography is a compendium of published works on geographical studies of Canada and its various provinces. It includes works on geographical studies of Canada as a whole, on multiple provinces, and on individual provinces. Works covered include books, monographs, atlases, book chapters, scholarly articles, dissertations, and theses. The contents are organized first by region into main chapters, and then each chapter is divided into sections: General Studies, Cultural and Social Geography, Economic Geography, Historical Geography, Physical Geography, Political Geography, and Urban Geography. Each section is further sub-divided into specific topics within each main subject. All known publications on the geographical studies of Canada—in English, French, and other languages—covering all types of geography are included in this bibliography. It is an essential resource for all researchers, students, teachers, and government officials needing information and references on the varied aspects of the environments and human geographies of Canada.
Paysages en perspective
Il peut paraître étonnant de consacrer tout un livre à l'étude des inégalités sociales en matière de santé dans le cadre des pays occidentaux, très majoritairement dotés de systèmes universels de soins de qualité. Pourtant, force est de constater que les disparités sociales persistent encore dans nos sociétés où l'égalité de traitement n'est toujours pas synonyme d'égalité sur le plan de la santé et devant la mort. Cet ouvrage dresse un portrait détaillé et offre une analyse rigoureuse des inégalités sociales dans le domaine de la santé, mettant en lumière les recherches importantes faites en sciences sociales, en psychologie et en sciences de la santé. Tout en proposant des pistes d'intervention, Ginette Paquet montre le rôle déterminant de la petite enfance dans le développement du sentiment d'emprise sur la vie et l'importance des facteurs de protection pour ceux qui vivent au bas de l'échelle sociale. -- Renaud-Bray.
