Taylor & Francis Ltd Policy Integration for Complex Environmental
Book SynopsisThe quest for policy integration crystallized in the 1990s as awareness was growing that the current supply of narrow, sectoral, and little coordinated, or even overlapping and conflicting, policies could not cope efficiently and effectively with contemporary complex, cross-cutting and interdependent socio-environmental problems. Combining and coordinating policies properly promises to address this institutional misfit, add value to policies, support planning at national and sub-national levels, and facilitate the transition to sustainable development more generally. This book proposes a comprehensive conceptualization of policy integration and negotiates pertinent theoretical, methodological and applied issues from the perspective of selected EU policies - rural development, regional development, transport, social, economic, environmental, water resources, and biodiversity policy. Mediterranean desertification, an exceptionally complex socio-environmental problem, is used as an illustTrade Review’This book is a very timely and important contribution to debates on policy integration and the environment. With its focus on a wide range of theoretical, methodological and applied issues from the perspective of selected EU policies, this book will be of particular interest to those working on European policy issues, European integration, environmental policy implementation and the multi-faceted complexity of today's national and international policy-making.’ Geoff Wilson, University of Plymouth, UK ’This book provides a comprehensive and timely treatment of the theoretical and methodological aspects of policy integration, focusing on EU policies and using Mediterranean desertification as an illustrative example. It is a valuable reading for policy researchers and practitioners alike who grapple with contemporary complex and cross-cutting socio-environmental problems.’ Rudolf S. de Groot, Wageningen University, The Netherlands ’This book provides a very interesting conceptual framework for addressing contemporary policy issues such as coordination, synergy, integration, concerted action, etc., in a policy context which increasingly recognizes the necessity to safeguard for cross-impacts and linkages across sectors.’ Harry Coccossis, University of Thessaly, Greece 'The work overall is highly informative and carefully edited. For a collection the writing style and language are remarkably consistent. Briassoulis and her co-authors should be commended for producing a high-quality collection of essays about the different policies at work in the EU. The work is of a consistently high standard of writing and every chapter is richly detailed and referenced.' European Spatial Research and Policy '...enriches the discussions concerning global climate change...provides inspiring thoughts and proposals...'

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Causes and Progression of Desertification
Book SynopsisThis book provides an examination into the causes and prospects of desertification through a systematic review of 132 sub national case studies. It uses a meta-analytical model to determine whether proximate causes and underlying driving forces fall into any patterns, to identify mediating factors, feedbacks, cross-scalar dynamics and typical pathways. It shows a limited set of recurrent core variables in varying combinations to drive desertification. Most prominent root causes are climatic factors, institutions, national policies, population growth and remote economic influences that lead to local cropland expansion, overgrazing and infrastructure extension, associated with desertification as a potential but not necessary outcome. Some factors are geographically robust; most of them are region and time specific.Trade Review’Geist’s book...is an antidote to some of the uninformed hand-waving that has taken place in the past. It is useful not only because of its analyses, but also because it has a good review of some of the uncertainties, advances and debates in desertification research and gives indications as to how indicators of desertification can be improved.’ Times Higher Education Supplement ’The Causes and Progression of Desertification is a timely contribution that provides additional perspectives on desertification and dry land degradation. This book brings together a variety of scientific perspectives that can begin to further inform several global environmental activities that are endeavouring to better manage such problems.’ Professor Coleen Vogel, Chair of IHDP, Germany ’A fascinating book for those who are interested in the fate of our planet. An in-depth study that puts desertification in perspective at a moment when human-induced climate perturbations become significant.’ Professor Guy P. Brasseur, Chair of IGBP ’A brilliant study.’ Built Environment 'This book is a great step forwards towards understanding desertification and can be helpful in designing policy measures.'

Taylor & Francis Ltd Environmentalism An Evolutionary Approach
Book SynopsisThe premise of this book is that our environmental dilemmas are products of biological and sociocultural evolution, and that through an understanding of evolution we can reframe debates of thought and action. The purpose is to explain the wide variety of environmental worldviews, their origins, commonalities, points of contention, and their implications for the modern environmental movement. In three parts covering the origins, evolution and future of environmentalism, it offers instructors and students a framework on which to map theory, case studies and classical literature. It is shown that environmentalism can be described in terms of six human valuesutility, stability, equity, beauty, sanctity, and moralityand that these are deeply rooted in our biological and cultural origins. In building this case the book draws upon ecology, philosophy, psychology, history, biology, economics, spirituality, and aesthetics, but rather than consider these all independently it integratesTrade Review"Dr. Spieles’ book is timely, ambitious, well-researched, and wonderfully comprehensive. It integrates myriad perspectives on environmentalism, analyzing our current and historical relationship to the environment from biological, sociocultural, psychological, and spiritual angles. We are in an age of intense global "environmental anxiety" as we grapple with the implications of anthropogenic climate change, pollution, habitat destruction, introduction of invasive species, expansion of human populations into natural areas, and overexploitation of our natural resources. This comprehensive text helps make sense of how our relationship to the environment developed through the course of our evolution, and how current conflicts and tensions have arisen as a result of differing perspectives on environmentalism. It also provides a roadmap for how we might seek resolution to these conflicts and achieve a more unified vision of environmentalism. Environmentalism: An Evolutionary Approach is eloquently and concisely written and should serve as a trusted handbook for students as they navigate the complex waters of the environmental sciences." – Elena Berg, The American University of Paris, France "Environmentalism: An Evolutionary Approach is the first textbook to take a multidisciplinary approach to fully integrate the principles of biological and sociocultural evolution in the context of environmental issues. By exploring a diversity of worldviews and their roots in shared human values, the text seeks to understand the evolution of our place in, and dependence on, the natural world and our sometimes conflicted relationship with it. It is truly a unique and refreshing perspective, building a rich understanding of the relationship of humans and the environment, and highlights a way forward in our efforts to cope with the critical environmental issues of our time." - Siobhan Fennessy, Kenyon College, USATable of ContentsList of boxes, Preface, Acknowledgements, Introduction, Part 1: Foundations, dimensions, and perspectives 1.
