Nature of the Miracle Years
After 1945, those responsible for conservation in Germany resumed their work with a relatively high degree of continuity as far as laws and personnel were concerned. Yet conservationists soon found they had little choice but to modernize their views and practices in the challenging postwar context. Forced to change by necessity, those involved in state-sponsored conservation institutionalized and professionalized their efforts, while several private groups became more confrontational in their message and tactics. Through their steady and often conservative presence within the mainstream of West German society, conservationists ensured that by 1970 the map of the country was dotted with hundreds of reserves, dozens of nature parks, and one national park. In doing so, they assured themselves a strong position to participate in, rather than be excluded from, the left-leaning environmental movement of the 1970s.
A Greener Vision of Home
The story of a successful citizens' movement to protect the land and encourage a culture of environmental respect in pre-World War I Germany
Ending the Fossil Fuel Era
A provocative call for delegitimizing fossil fuels rather than accommodating them, accompanied by case studies from Ecuador to Appalachia and from Germany to Norway. Not so long ago, people North and South had little reason to believe that wealth from oil, gas, and coal brought anything but great prosperity. But the presumption of net benefits from fossil fuels is eroding as widening circles of people rich and poor experience the downside. A positive transition to a post-fossil fuel era cannot wait for global agreement, a swap-in of renewables, a miracle technology, a carbon market, or lifestyle change. This book shows that it is now possible to take the first step toward the post-fossil fue...
Mining Science and Technology
Jointly sponsored by the China University of Mining and Technology and the University of Nottingham, UK, a total of 187 papers have been included in the proceedings, of which fifty-two are contributed by authors outside of China. Scholars and experts from both China and abroad discuss and exchange information on the latest developments in mining science and technology worldwide, which cover extensive areas ranging from mine operation and safety technology, geology and methane drainage, geomechanics, mine construction and tunnelling, mineral processing and clean coal technology, mine control and automation to mine environment, mine economics and management.
Greening Berlin
How plant and animal species conservation became part of urban planning in Berlin, and how the science of ecology contributed to this change. Although nature conservation has traditionally focused on the countryside, issues of biodiversity protection also appear on the political agendas of many cities. One of the emblematic examples of this now worldwide trend has been the German city of Berlin, where, since the 1970s, urban planning has been complemented by a systematic policy of “biotope protection”—at first only in the walled city island of West Berlin, but subsequently across the whole of the reunified capital. In Greening Berlin, Jens Lachmund uses the example of Berlin to examine...
Restoring Layered Landscapes
Restoring Layered Landscapes explores ecological restoration in complex landscapes, where ecosystems intertwine with important sociopolitical meanings. This volume considers restoration and interpretation of complex landscapes such as former industrial sites, asking how restoration can remain faithful to the past while anticipating the future in an era of unprecedented environmental change.

Walter Rossow (1910-1992)
Walter Rossow, neben seiner planerischen Tätigkeit Hochschullehrer in Berlin und Stuttgart, hat 1991 dem Baukunstarchiv der Akademie der Künste, Berlin, seinen umfangreichen beruflichen Nachlass übergeben. Für die Erforschung der jüngeren Professionsgeschichte der Landschaftsarchitektur stellen derartige, in ihrem Kontext erhaltene Archivalien eine aufschlussreiche Quelle dar. Ergänzt um Literaturstudien und Zeitzeugengespräche bilden sie die Grundlage der vorliegenden Arbeit. Im Fokus dieses Bandes stehen das öffentlichkeitsbezogene Wirken und die fachliche Positionierung Rossows - in den Debatten der ersten Nachkriegsjahre, im Aufbau der Bundesrepublik und im Zuge des Wandels plane...
