Adaptation to Climate Change and Sea Level Rise
The book provides a concise and interdisciplinary outlook on the impacts of climate change on coastal areas and how coastal communities adapt to them. The first chapter analyses how sea level rise, changing ocean conditions, or increased climate variability and the socio-environmental context of the coastal zone leads to vulnerable communities. The second chapter addresses adaptation strategies and tools, and gives some examples of their application around the world. The third chapter describes participative action research projects undertaken in New Brunswick and how this community based approach has enabled communities to increase their climate resilience.
Coastal Zones
Coastal Zones: Solutions for the 21st Century bridges the gap between national and international efforts and the local needs for actions in communities where coastal zone challenges are faced daily. The solution-oriented approach covers issues of coastal zone management as well as responses to natural disasters. This work provides ideas on how to face the challenges, develop solutions, and localize management of common-pool resources. Coastal Zones targets academic stakeholders and coastal stakeholders who have local knowledge and experience but need a theoretical framework and a greater range of skills to make use of this experience. Represents the collaborative work of more than 200 coastal zone researchers from all continents Provides a transdisciplinary approach that draws on stakeholder knowledge as well as diverse disciplines in the natural and social sciences Provides a basis for the co-development of an effective understanding of social-ecological systems in the coastal zone

Feminist Research
Feminist Research: Prospect and Retrospect offers a thorough look at the problems of women today, suggesting that society is encountering a period of strong reaction to the feminist movement of the late sixties and early seventies. Marguerite Anderson argues that only the "dynamite of research" will allow construction of a positive route forward.
Critical Political Studies
A collective picture of modern capitalism suggests that economic prospects, political costs, and implications for human development and freedom under this system are grim indeed. However the possibility of an alternative viewpoint, and an alternative system, provide grounds for optimism. The authors in Critical Political Studies challenge the neo-liberal, pro-market ideology that has arisen in the age of the so-called "post-communist" new world order, wrestling with the implications of globalization, democratization, and the politics of radical social change Written as a tribute to the remarkable intellectual career of Colin Leys, the debates in this book deal with some of the most pressing ...

Zones côtières et changement climatique
L’approche de la gestion intégrée des zones côtières est apparue en opposition à l’approche unisectorielle de la gestion des ressources afin de pallier aux nombreux stress posés sur les écosystèmes par les activités humaines. Près de 700 projets de gestion côtière intégrée sont en cours aujourd’hui dans différents pays du monde. Malgré cela, la dégradation des milieux côtiers n’a pas été freinée. Elle se poursuit même à un rythme alarmant. Il y a donc urgence de trouver des approches de gestion qui proposent des solutions viables.Dans la foulée de la dynamique société et nature et des relations environnement et sociétés, il a été montré que les contextes culturels et les savoirs écologiques locaux ont une influence sur les demandes des communautés pour des politiques environnementales de gestion participative et inclusive des zones côtières du Golfe du Saint-Laurent. L’objectif principal de ce livre est d’élargir l’aire d’étude aux territoires européens et africains, voire des milieux insulaires d’outremer comme la Réunion et la Martinique, afin de susciter une réflexion sur le développement durable du littoral.

Agricultural Adaptation to Climate Change
This book deals with one of the major challenges facing human society and its governments, climate change and variability. The principal objective of the book is to explore how agricultural production through the actions primarily of farmers, including peasant farmers, adapt to these changing circumstances, what the limitations of adaptation are, how the process of adaptation varies between different territories (e.g. developed countries versus developing countries), and what are or can be the most effective roles for actors other than the farmers, including different levels of government and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) such as professional associations of farmers and community org...
