Uma história das florestas brasileiras
Com textos de Drauzio Varella, Fernando Gabeira e Fabio Feldmann, Uma história das florestas brasileiras ganha capa assinada por Sebastião Salgado e mais três fotos de sua autoria que ilustram desde o dia a dia dos povos indígenas à exuberância das matas brasileiras. A destruição de florestas e demais formas de vegetação nativa do Brasil é decorrência do tipo de desenvolvimento imposto desde a colonização do país, cuja expansão econômica se deve, principalmente, à exploração de recursos naturais.

Rapid Urban Environmental Assessment: Methodology and preliminary findings
Urban Management Program Series Paper 14. A recent evaluation of urban research in developing countries noted that scant data are available on the urban environment, as little research has been done on the topic. This first volume in a two-volume set describes the development of a three-step evaluation process whereby data are collected and analyzed to support the involvement of stakeholders, suggests future directions and improvements, and summarizes results from use of the approach in selected cities. The second of a two- volume set (see below) contains tools that practitioners and researchers can apply directly in the field. See also Volume 2 (ISBN 0-8213-2791-7) Stock No. 12791.

With Broadax and Firebrand
Warren Dean chronicles the chaotic path to what could be one of the greatest natural disasters of modern times: the disappearance of the Atlantic Forest. A quarter the size of the Amazon Forest, and the most densely populated region in Brazil, the Atlantic Forest is now the most endangered in the world. It contains a great diversity of life forms, some of them found nowhere else, as well as the country's largest cities, plantations, mines, and industries. Continual clearing is ravaging most of the forested remnants. Dean opens his story with the hunter-gatherers of twelve thousand years ago and takes it up to the 1990s—through the invasion of Europeans in the sixteenth century; the ensuing...

Global Strategy on Invasive Alien Species
The spread of invasive alien species (IAS) is creating complex and far-reaching challenges that threaten both the natural biological riches of the earth and the well being of its citizens. While the problem is global, the nature and severity of the impacts on society, economic life, health, and natural heritage are distributed unevenly across nations and regions. Thus, some aspects of the problem require solutions tailored to the specific values, needs, and priorities of nations while others call for consolidated action by the larger world community. Preventing the international movement of invasive alien species and coordinating a timely and effective response to invasions will require coop...
