Rocky Mountain Books,Canada Cold Matters: The State and Fate of Canada's
Book SynopsisCold Matters is a vital and approachable work that distills the scientific complexities of snow, ice, water and climate and presents the global implications of research put forth and funded by the Canadian Foundation for Climate and Atmospheric Sciences. This timely book gives the concerned reader an opportunity to take part in the conversation about our global environment in a way that transcends traditional scientific journals, textbooks, public talks or newspaper articles that are so often ignored or forgotten. In the end, Cold Matters will change the way you think about ice and snow. The impassioned narrative and sophisticated illustrations found within the pages of Robert Sandford''s latest work offer ecologically and globally minded citizens an understanding of the behaviour of our ever-changing climate system and its effect on cold environments in western Canada over the past 400 years. Using revolutionary prediction scenarios to model glaciers and glacier meltwater in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Yukon, NWT and throughout the world, Cold Matters presents a clear snapshot of how altered ecosystems will impact future climates, urban centres and agricultural landscapes.

Rocky Mountain Books,Canada Digging the City: An Urban Agriculture Manifesto
Book SynopsisAt the last census in 2006, just over 80 percent of Canada''s population lived in urban centres. How we feed that population and protect its food sources is an enduring subject of debate in food security circles these days. As consumers and citizens, we all need to take a hard look at the deficiencies in Canada''s ability to feed the urban poor; our dependence on imported foods and centralized food processing; our detachment from our food sources; the often problematic solutions to food security devised by governments, municipalities and non-profit groups; and where we are headed if we change nothing in these times when change is urgently needed. Many efforts are being made to introduce urban agriculture initiatives all across the country, to address the problems we''ve created and to protect our cities from real and potential crises in the food supply. With passion and lyricism, Digging the City addresses the problems facing urban omnivores in the 21st century and looks at various policy, grassroots and utopian solutions being developed and implemented, while considering the pros and cons of plans such as vertical farms, urban fish farms, transition-town initiatives, seed banks, permaculture and water conservation projects.

World Wisdom Books Spirit of the Earth: Indian Voices on Nature
Book SynopsisOften spoken at the end of a prayer, a well-known Sioux phrase affirms that we are all related." Similarly, the Sioux medicine man, Brave Buffalo, came to realize when he was still a boy that the maker of all was Wakan Tanka (the Great Spirit), and ...in order to honor him I must honor his works in nature." The interconnectedness of all things, and the respect all things are due, are among the most prominentand most welcomethemes in this collection of Indian voices on nature. Within the book are carefully authenticated quotations from men and women of nearly fifty North American tribes. The illustrations include historical photographs of American Indians, as well as a wide selection of contemporary photographs showing the diversity of the North American natural world. Together, these quotations and photographs beautifully present something of nature's timeless message.

Rare Bird Books Spontaneous Urban Plants: Weeds in NYC
Book SynopsisAlthough we tend to think of our cities as concrete jungles, our post-new urban environment is awash in plant life. Wild urban plants have taken root along roadsides and chain-link fences, between cracks of pavement, and within vacant lots, rubble dumps and highway medians. Spontaneously propagating, these resilient plants find distinctive niches to thrive in and inhabit our most derelict landscapes. The environmental benefits of these "weeds" go widely unrecognized when, in fact, reframing this often invisible urban ecology as a beneficial amenity can offer a fresh perspective on how cities perform. Spontaneous Urban Plants investigates the role of weeds in the urban ecosystem by profiling a cross section of weeds. The intent is to stimulate a discourse between ecologists, designers, artists and the general public that explores societal perceptions of weeds and questions the stigmas that surround them. Leveraging principles of urban ecology and environmental aesthetics, we are encouraging an objective debate of the value of wild urban plants and thereby challenging contemporary cultural perceptions. This four-color art book will raise awareness about the overlooked ecology of our cities and allow people to reconsider their preconceived notions about weeds through the lens of art. This project has the potential to catalyze a generation of emergent designers, artists, planners and thinkers to rethink our urban futures in the face of increased density and erratic climatic conditions.

Book SynopsisIn 1983, Swiss psychiatrist C.A. Meier delivered a fascinating paper at the 3rd World Wilderness Congress in Inverness, Scotland.

Fagbokforlaget Northern Serengeti Road Ecology
Book SynopsisA newly planned road that will cross the northern sector of the Serengeti National Park has stirred both national and international protests, causing intense discussions on internet, in newspapers and scientific literature. The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) therefore presented a comprehensive study of subsequent consequences of the construction of such a road with concern to biodiversity, human and animal health, as well as the social structures of the communities living close to the planned road. In this book we discuss most of the consequences this upgraded road will have on human social life and the environment. The wonderful wild life of the Serengeti National Park, as well as the fascinating local cultures and peoples and the meetings of these two, are here shown in stunningly beautiful photos in this superbly designed book.

Wiley Feminism and Ecology
Book SynopsisThe relationship between feminism and ecology has grown in importance in recent years. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the ecofeminist movement and its history, as well as an extended analysis of the main perspectives within it.Trade Review"Mary Mellor is extraordinarily good at sorting out, with sympathy and humour, the various arguments put forward by feminist, radical and green theorists and activists. She has written a timely and exciting book which leads one to share her optimism about critical social analysis and the politics of new social movements - and the potential for social change." Diana Leonard, Institute of Education, University of London "To offer a coherent, readable and critically engaged survey of a large body of polemical and academic work is a considerable achievement, and Feminism and Ecology will be an indispensable resource for anyone thinking about, or teaching, the relations between ecological politics, feminist theory and philosophy, and the "new social movements" ... [and] thought-provoking to anyone concerned with green social theory ... [a] valuable book." Times Literary Supplement "This book is a timely contribution to an emergent literature."
