Taylor & Francis Ltd Balancing the Commons in Switzerland
Book SynopsisBalancing the Commons in Switzerland outlines continuity and change in the management of common-pool resources such as pastures and forests in Switzerland.The book focuses on the differences and similarities between local institutions (rules and regulations) and forms of commoners' organisations (corporations of citizens and corporations) which have managed common property for several centuries and have shaped the cultural landscapes of Switzerland. At the core of the book are five case studies from the German, French and Italian speaking regions of Switzerland. Beginning in the Late Middle Ages and focusing on the transformative periods in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, it traces the internal and external political, economic and societal changes and examines what impact these changes had on commoners. It goes beyond the work of Robert Netting and Elinor Ostrom, who discussed Swiss commons as a unique case of robustness, by analysing how local commoneTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Infrastructures
Book SynopsisTerrestrial Ecosystem Research Infrastructures: Challenges and Opportunities reveals how environmental research infrastructures (RIs) provide new valuable insights on ecological processes that cannot be realized by more traditional short-term funding cycles and are integral to understand our changing world. This book bonds the latest state-of-the-science knowledge on environmental RIs, the challenges in creating them, their place in addressing scientific frontiers, and the new perspectives they bear. Each chapter is thoughtfully invested with fresh viewpoints from the environmental RI vantage as the authors explore and explain many topics such as the rationale and challenges in global change, field and modeling platforms, new tools, challenges in data management, distilling information into knowledge, and new developments in large-scale RIs. This work serves an advantageous guide for academics and practitioners alike who aim to deepen their knowledge in the field ofTrade Review"A long overdue and fine analysis of the importance of ecosystems and ecosystem research in this time of global change. This should be required reading for any one concerned about achieving truly sustainable development."— Thomas E. Lovejoy, George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia, United States"…is a timely and comprehensive account of the emergence of large-scale ecological research infrastructure, worldwide. A fortunate convergence between the need to address emerging ecological problems with the technology to understand pattern and process at ecosystem scale has led to dramatic progress in this field. The ability to combine automated sensors, remote sensing, computational power and data management techniques has provided ecologists with a whole new toolbox. It brings with it new challenges of organization and design in order to provide an infrastructure which is fit-for-use, multi-institutional, adaptive and durable. This volume covers the learning achieved so far in implementing research platforms of this kind." — Robert J Scholes, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa"… a very timely book. Large-scale infrastructures are essential to advance our understanding of the Earth System at a variety of scales. The establishment of these is often difficult as it conflicts with traditional short term funding cycles. This book comes at a time when several such large-scale ecological infrastructures are indeed being established worldwide based on a plethora of new scientific ideas and. It deals however not only with the science questions driving the need for infrastructures, but importantly also with crucial issues such as data quality and accessibility and the introduction and development of new technologies. The editors have done a great job in producing this much-needed overview that will enable a new generation of scientists and other users to appreciate the need, value and benefits of large scale infrastructures."— Han Dolman, Free University Amsterdam, Netherlands"This volume describes how to approach contemporary global environmental challenges with large and integrated experimental and monitoring infrastructure, including the scientific and engineering platforms necessary to acquire, evaluate, maintain, interpret, and synthesize vast amounts of data in order to produce useful knowledge. Building and connecting research infrastructure across the globe is a frontier science and this book, edited by Abbad Chabbi and Hank Loescher provides valuable lessons learned to date from a number of aspects of networked activities worldwide."— Jill Baron, U.S. Geological Survey, Fort Collins, Colorado, USATable of ContentsPreface: Goals and Structure of This Book.

Governance of Food Security in Different Agroclimatic and Socioeconomic settings. Recommended reading for professionals, water and agricultural scientists, engineers, planners and policy makers in the field of food and water security.Trade Review'[...] this book assumes enormous significance, and could not have been published at a more appropriate time.' 'This book deals with techno-economic-social dimensions of the problem like no other publication before.' 'The editor along with his authors deserve full credit for presenting a book with an in-depth analysis of a complex subject, penetrating and interesting, supported by valuable tables, revealing photographs and neat figures.' 'This book is a notable departure from the normal.' From: Journal of the Geological Society of India, vol. 72, p. 279-280, Aug. 2008. 'The strength of the book lies in the wide range of topics it examines-a list that includes remote sensing, aerobic rice, the benefits of fermented food, the role of microenterprises, and the need for enhanced governance of food systems.' 'The book is thus a very useful introduction on developing-country-chiefly Asian-water-for-food issues, aimed at professionals and students in the areas of agricultural and water science, engineering, and planning.'

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Sociology of Farming
Book SynopsisThis book provides a detailed and comprehensive introduction to the concepts and methods of the sociology of farming. The sociology of farming focuses on co-production: the ongoing interaction and mutual transformation of the natural and the social (of human and living nature') which requires putting the farm labour process centre stage. While there are many books which discuss food and agriculture, this book is different: it delves into the methods and concepts used and presents a comprehensive conceptual framework and the associated methods for research to give students and researchers of agriculture and rural studies a solid set of tools for unravelling the complexities of farming and rural life. Importantly, these tools also empower us to design new ways forward. A wide array of case studies, as wide-ranging as Brazil, Peru, China, the Netherlands, Italy and Guinea Bissau, help readers to grasp the commonalities that underlie strongly diversified and divided rural Trade Review'This book fills a longstanding gap in rural studies. Nobody in the sociological tradition could do it better than Jan Douwe. The multiple levels, the distinct shapes and the different dimensions of agriculture are carefully canvassed by someone who knows the subject from personal history and as a research topic. It’s a seminal book that honors the good tradition of great rural sociologists from the past, and must be read by all agrarian, rural and food scholars of the future.'Sergio Schneider, Full Professor of Sociology of Rural Development and Food Studies, Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), Brazil'This book brings together knowledge acquired through a long and productive career of deep/analytical thinking and research delving into the complexities of agriculture, nature, and those engaged in food production. If you want to learn more about the significance of the farm labour process and how radical transformations of food systems are already underway in various parts of the world, read this book!' Annette Aurélie Desmarais, Canada Research Chair in Human Rights, Social Justice and Food Sovereignty, University of Manitoba'The Sociology of Farming is an original, grounded, systematic and brilliant textbook that goes far beyond the boundaries set by its title to encompass global social life. It must be read by all students concerned about the future of humanity and our planet.'Saturnino M. Borras Jr., Professor of Agrarian Studies, International Institute of Social Studies (ISS), Netherlands"TheSociology of Farmingspells out the importance of a sociological perspective of farming and champions the call for methodological crea-tivity.

Taylor & Francis Farmscape
Book SynopsisFarmscape: The Design of Productive Landscapes situates agriculture as a design practice, using a wide range of international case studies and analytical essays to propose lessons for contemporary landscape architects who are interested in integrating agriculture into their designs. Agricultural processes, technologies, and cycles have long shaped landscape architectural projects, from the ornamented farm of the eighteenth century, to contemporary projects that integrate agriculture and ecological restoration. The book describes the history of agriculture within landscape architecture and reveals the diversity of current design practices that use the rhythms and forms of agriculture to create productive farms that are also sites of beauty, community, ecological conservation, remediation, and pleasure. Highly illustrated in full colour, this book provides essential context, resources, and best practice examples of rural and periurban designed sites for professionals and studTable of ContentsCultivating the field; Case studies; Woburn Farm; Middleton Place; Montpelier; Moraine Farm; Merchiston Farm; Welwyn Garden City; Ziebigk Siedlung; Nærum Allotment Gardens; Village Homes; Winslow Farms Conservancy; Shenyang Architectural University; Green Gulch Farm Zen Center; Babylonstoren; Overlook Los Poblanos Historic Inn and Organic Farm; Composition, meaning, and practice: a framework for designing agriculture; Operationalizing the farmscape; Index
