Abstract

This comprehensive sourcebook on human ecology combines 25 source articles published in the journal Human Ecology, enhanced with new research updates and thematic commentary. Intended as a follow up to Case Studies in Human Ecology, this volume includes an entirely new group of articles, with the same accessible, comprehensive coverage that made Case Studies so popular. Human Ecology: Research and Practice covers four important areas: Philosophy, Theory and Methods; Changing Subsistence Practices; Agricultural Intensification and Population Dynamics; and, Common Property Resources and Conservation. As a group, these articles represent the major contributions to the study of Human Ecology since the publication of the previous volume. Each article includes a concise introduction by the Editor, giving necessary and thoughtful context. The volume covers an overview of human ecology as a field within environmental studies, new directions in contemporary research, new methods and techniques, and cultural landscapes. Anyone studying human ecology, environmental studies, landscape studies, or population dynamics, particularly key issues such as conservation and globalization will find this comprehensive reader a valuable resource.

Abstract

Urban agriculture is increasingly considered an important part of creating just and sustainable cities. Yet the benefits that many people attribute to urban agriculture-fresh food, green space, educational opportunities-can mask structural inequities, thereby making political transformation harder to achieve. Realizing social and environmental justice requires moving beyond food production to address deeper issues such as structural racism, gender inequity, and economic disparities. Beyond the Kale argues that urban agricultural projects focused explicitly on dismantling oppressive systems have the greatest potential to achieve substantive social change. Through in-depth interviews and public forums with some of New York City's most prominent urban agriculture activists and supporters, Kristin Reynolds and Nevin Cohen illustrate how some urban farmers and gardeners not only grow healthy food for their communities but also use their activities and spaces to disrupt the dynamics of power and privilege that perpetuate inequity. Addressing a significant gap in the urban agriculture literature, Beyond the Kale prioritizes the voices of people of color and women-activists and leaders whose strategies have often been underrepresented within the urban agriculture movement-and it examines the roles of scholarship in advancing social justice initiatives.

Abstract

Het werk is de derde herziene uitgave van het gekende werk betreffende het ruimtelijke ordeningsrecht in het Vlaams en het Brussels Hoofdstedelijk Gewest. Het behelst een volledige en kritische bespreking van de regeling die elk van die gewesten eigen is. In de beide regelingen worden de voorschriften behandeld die betrekking hebben op de ruimtelijke ordeningsplannen, de stedenbouwkundige en de verkavelingsverordeningen en de gelijknamige vergunningen. Voor het Vlaams Gewest wordt niet alleen aandacht besteed aan de nieuwe regeling (decreet van 18 mei 1999), maar ook aan de overgangsregeling (coördinatiedecreet van 21 oktober 1996) die in vele gemeenten nog grotendeels van toepassing is. Het boek werd grondig herwerkt op basis van de talrijke wijzigingen die de beide wetgevingen sinds de vorige uitgave hebben ondergaan. Bij dat alles worden ook de rechtspraak en de rechtsleer uitvoerig betrokken en kritisch benaderd.

Abstract

Common wisdom holds that the Earth's dwindling natural resources and increasing environmental degradation will inevitably lead to inter-state conflict, and possibly even set off 'resource wars'. This book offers a different perspective on the links between environmental problems and inter-state conflict.
