Environmental Law and Contrasting Ideas of Nature
This book examines how nature is constructed through law, building on the constructivist concept that 'nature' is a self-perpetuating, self-reinforcing social creation.
Structural Human Ecology
The desire to understand people’s influence on ecosystems has inspired scientific studies and analyses of the stress individuals and communities place on the environment, human well-being, and the tradeoffs between them. As an emerging discipline, Structural Human Ecology is devoted to unlocking the dynamic links between population, environment, social organization, and technology. The new field offers cutting-edge research in risk analysis that can be used to evaluate environmental policies and thus help citizens and societies worldwide learn how to most effectively mitigate human impacts on the biosphere. The essays in this volume were presented by leading international scholars at a 2011 symposium honoring the late Dr. Eugene Rosa, then Boeing Distinguished Professor of Environmental Sociology at WSU.
Planning the Pacific Northwest
The Pacific Northwest is green to the extreme. Yet a day trip can go from pristine wilderness to downtown Seattle, Portland, or Vancouver. How are these commercial and cultural hot spots keeping nature and growth in balance - and what's coming next? Trace the path from forests and fish to bikes and brews as Planning the Pacific Northwest continues the APA Planners Press series on how planning shapes major American cities.
Climate Change Adaptation in New York City
This volume is the New York City Panel on Climate Change (NPCC) 2010 Report. It contains the executive summary, chapters of the report, including the conclusions and recommendations, and three NPCC workbooks as appendices. The NPCC has prepared a set of climate change projections for the New York City region and has examined how climate change has the potential to both positively and negatively affect the critical infrastructure of New York City. It has suggested approaches to create an effective adaptation program for critical infrastructure, including ways to assess risks, prioritize strategies, and examine how standards and regulations may need to be adjusted in a changing climate.

Climate Impacts on Energy Systems
"While the energy sector is a primary target of efforts to arrest and reverse the growth of greenhouse gas emissions and lower the carbon footprint of development, it is also expected to be increasingly affected by unavoidable climate consequences from the damage already induced in the biosphere. Energy services and resources, as well as seasonal demand, will be increasingly affected by changing trends, increasing variability, greater extremes and large inter-annual variations in climate parameters in some regions. All evidence suggests that adaptation is not an optional add-on but an essential reckoning on par with other business risks. Existing energy infrastructure, new infrastructure and...
Historische Gärten und Klimawandel
Historische Gärten sind als denkmalgeschützte Kulturgüter wertvolle Zeugnisse unserer Zivilisation. Wie lassen sie sich unter veränderten klimatischen Bedingungen bewahren? Anhand von vier historischen Gartenanlagen wird der natürliche, kulturelle und soziale Rahmen analysiert, in den die "Bilder" des Gartens eingeschrieben sind. Welche Handlungsoptionen bestehen jedoch, wenn Pflanzen oder Bäume den standörtlichen Gegebenheiten nicht mehr angepasst sind? Vertreter aus den Natur-, Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften sowie der Gartendenkmalpflege stellen erstmals gemeinsam Lösungsstrategien für die Bewahrung historischer Gärten als Gesamtkunstwerke unter dem Vorzeichen des Klimawandels vor.
