    Greenhouse Gas Emissions : Global Business Aspects (2001)

    b3kat_BV046872229
    Format: 1 Online-Ressource (XXV, 375 p)
    Edition: 1st ed. 2001
    ISBN: 9783642569081
    Content: The world is getting hotter as it experiences the extremes of global climate change. In 1999, catastrophic storms hit Honduras, China and East India, bringing severe devas­ tation to lives and national economies. EI Nino swept across the Pacific in early 2000, inflicting the worst floods on Mozambique and neighbouring countries. Industrialised nations are not immune to global warming - cases of encephalitis, a disease trans­ mitted by mosquitoes, were reported in the State of New York. In Antarctica, an iceberg seven times the size of Manhattan island broke loose and floated towards Cape Horn. The melting of Arctic glaciers also continues - huge volumes of fresh-water will disrupt the warm conveyor-belt from Central America to Europe. The net effect of convergent glacial drifts from the polar regions to the equator is expected to inten­ sify cloud formation in the tropics - hence exacerbating global warming. As the destructive forces of nature intensify, so does the rhetoric from environmental organ­ isations - as evidenced by the disruption of the last World Trade Organisation con­ ference in Seattle. It is now up to civilisation to challenge climate change. It can achieve this by command and control as well as flexible mechanisms at home and abroad, before the process of global warming becomes totally irreversible

    Hot towns : the future of the fastest growing communities in America (1999)
    New Brunswick, NJ [u.a.] : Rutgers Univ. Press
    Details
    UID:
    b3kat_BV012872874
    Format: XI, 283 Seiten
    ISBN: 0813526965
    Content: "Hot Towns is about the current, vast national relocation of one million Americans a year, who take with them assets greater than the entire real estate value of New York City. Successful, accomplished, and well-financed people of all ages are moving to communities they view as choice - places distinguished by fine climate, physical beauty, abundant natural recreation resources, and minimal social problems and low crime."--BOOK JACKET
    Content: "These American boom towns, Peter Wolf writes, have grown in jobs and population at two to three times the national average. But warning signs of deterioration are already evident: overbuilding, failing natural resources, rising taxes, and traffic congestion are all taking a toll on these communities."--BOOK JACKET
    Content: "Wolf demonstrates how it is possible - even during a town's rapid expansion - to enhance the quality of residents' lives, to incorporate aesthetics and design into town evolution, to protect what is precious in nature, and to preserve the best that has already been built."--BOOK JACKET

    Series Statement: Springer Series on Environmental Management
    Content: This series is dedicated to serving the growing community of scholars and practitioners concemed with the principles and applications of environ mental management. Each volume is a thorough treatment of a specific topic of importance for proper management practices. A fundamental objective of these books is to help the reader discem and implement man's stewardship of our environment and the world's renewable re sources. For we must strive to understand the relationship between man and nature, act to bring harmony to it, and nurture an environment that is both stable and productive. These objectives have often eluded us because the pursuit of other individual and societal goals has diverted us from a course of living in balance with the environment. At times, therefore, the environmental manager may have to exert restrictive control, which is usually best applied to man, not nature. Attempts to alter or hamess nature have often failed or backfired, as exemplified by the results of imprudent use of herbicides, fertilizers, water, and other agents. Each book in this series will shed light on the fundamental and applied aspects of environmental management. It is hoped that each will help solve a practical and serious environmental problem
