Multilateral development banks (MDBs) are increasingly expected to address environmental issues in their economic development lending.

The Fifth Floor
This book is like a movie watching international scientists at a US hospital at The University of Chicago over the shoulder. It captures the excitement, achievements, up and downs as well as the friendship of the lab members working on different floors, in particular on the fifth floor.

Central and Eastern Europe Handbook
The Regional Handbooks of Economic Development series provides accessible overviews of countries within their larger domestic and international contexts, focusing on the relations among regions as they meet the challenges of the twenty first century. The series allows the non-specialist student to explore a wide range of complex factors-social and political as well as economic-that affect the growth of developing regions in Asia, Europe, and South America. Each Handbook provides an overview chapter discussing the region's economic conditions within an historical and political context, as well as 20 or more chapter-length essays written by recognized experts, which analyze the key issues affecting a region's economy: its population, natural resources, foreign trade, labor problems, and economic inequalities, and other vital factors. In addition, the volumes offer useful support materials, including a series of appendices that include a detailed chronology of events in the region, a glossary of terms, biographical entries on key personalities, an annotated bibliography of further reading, and a comprehensive analytical index.
