Thus, diseases of epidemic and pandemic scale are mostly zoonotic, some of which include AIDS, Zika virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and COVID-19. The book seeks to explore the documented history of pandemics and various epidemics that have the potential of turning into pandemics with the warming climate, pollution, and environmental destruction.The book covers some of the most essential elements of the diseases of pandemic nature and their relationship with the environment: Environment as a reservoir of human diseases Climate change: emerging driver of infectious diseases Occurrence and environmental dimensions of specific pandemics and epidemics Pandemics, environment, and globalisation: understanding the interlinkage in the context of COVID-19 Climate change and zoonotic diseases: malaria, plague, dengue, encephaTable of ContentsChapter 1 Occurrence and Environmental Dimensions of Specific Pandemics and Epidemics Chapter 2 Climate Change: Emerging Driver of Infectious Diseases Chapter 3 Economic Outcomes of Emerging Pandemics and its Implications on the Environment Chapter 4 Tuberculosis: An old enemy of mankind and way to next pandemic Chapter 5 Pandemics, Environment, and Globalisation: Understanding the Interlinkage in the Context of COVID-19 Chapter 6 Climate Change and Zoonotic Diseases: Malaria, Plague, Dengue, Encephalitis Chapter 7 Environmental dimensions of Zika Virus triggered outbreak and its association with neurological complications like Guillain-Barrésyndrome and microcephaly Chapter 8 Emerging contaminants in the environment and their linkage with COVID-19 Chapter 9 Lassa fever in Nigeria: case fatality ratio, social consequences and prevention Chapter 10 Contribution of anthropogenic factors in the global advancement of Zika virus

Taylor & Francis Ltd Responsive Environments
Book SynopsisClearly demonstrates the specific characteristics that make for comprehensible, friendly and controllable places; ''Responsive Environments'' - as opposed to the alienating environments often imposed today. By means of sketches and diagrams, it shows how they may be designed in to places or buildings. This is a practical book about architecture and urban design. It is most concerned with the areas of design which most frequently go wrong and impresses the idea that ideals alone are not enough. Ideals must be linked through appropriate design ideas to the fabric of the built environemnt itself. This book is a practical attempt to show how this can be done.Trade Review'an important contribution to design as place making'Environmental and Archtectural Phenomenology Newsletter'Virtually everything in this book is highly relevant to the work of landscape architects tackling urban problems.'

Taylor & Francis Ltd The New Accountability: Environmental
Book SynopsisThe growth of pollution that crosses national borders represents a significant threat to human health and ecological sustainability. Various international agreements exist between countries to reduce risks to their populations, however there is often a mismatch between national territories of state responsibility and transboundary hazards. All too often, state priorities do not correspond to the priorities of the people affected by pollution, who often have little recourse against major polluters, particularly transnational corporations operating across national boundaries. Drawing on case studies, The New Accountability provides a fresh understanding of democratic accountability for transboundary and global harm and argues that environmental responsibility should be established in open public discussions about harm and risk. Most critically it makes the case that, regardless of nationality, affected parties should be able to demand that polluters and harm producers be held accountable for their actions and if necessary provide reparations.Table of ContentsPreface * Introduction * Transnational Accountability for Environmental Harm: A Framework * Advocates for Environmental Accountability: Activist Groups, Networks and Movements * Citizenship Beyond National Borders? Affected Publics and International Environmental Regimes * The World Trade Regime and Environmental Accountability * Transnational Liability for Environmental Damage * The Environmental Accountability of Transnational Corporations * Conclusions * References * Index

Taylor & Francis Ltd Asia's Clean Revolution: Industry, Growth and the
Book SynopsisThe world's environmental future will be determined in significant part by what happens in the rapidly industrialising and urban economies of Asia. The sheer scale of urban population and industrial growth in Asia – from Indonesia to China – and the energy and materials intensive character of the development process constitutes a dark shadow over the region's, and indeed the world's, environment. And yet this challenge is also an opportunity. Precisely because so much of the urban-industrial investment within developing Asia has yet to take place, the opportunity exists to shape a different development future – one that is far less energy, materials and waste intensive. Asia's Clean Revolution examines the prospects for and pathways to such a new trajectory. The book lays out a path-breaking vision of how developing economies might go beyond environmental regulation and put in place an array of policies and institutions that could integrate environmental, industrial and technological goals. These findings provide important input for negotiators considering climate change on a global scale. The book approaches the challenge of growth and environment in Asia in a novel way, by identifying six major transformational dynamics under way in the world today, and assessing whether these can be harnessed to the goal of improved environmental performance of industry. With a set of specially commissioned chapters from the leading authorities in North America and Asia, this ground-breaking book is the first to present concrete policy solutions to the looming crisis driven by large-scale urban-industrial growth in developing Asia.Trade ReviewAn interesting and well-structured book which offers practical insights into how policy might be refined to bring real environmental benefits in both Asia and the rest of the world. * Community Affairs Briefing *Asia's Clean Revolution elucidates the environmental problems of rapid industrialization and is the first to present concrete policy solutions for reconciling economic and environmental goals ... it presents a pathbreaking vision of a new trajectory ... this book reflects the new direction for industrialization in Asia at both the theoretical and practical level. * Economic Geography *Asia's Clean Revolution successfully fulfills its critical objective of "reconciling economic and environmental goals", and also satisfies its aim of "reducing energy, materials, pollution, and waste intensity of economic activities". As a contribution to environmental management, the book compliments the World Commission on Environment and Development's 1987 "Brundtland Report". It should be essential reading ... * Annals of the Association of American Geographers *Table of ContentsPreface Owen Cylke, US–Asia Environmental Partnership and Winrock International, USA, Somporn Kamolsiripichaiporn, Chulalongkorn University, Thailand 1.
