The introduction of transfrontier conservation areas (TFCAs) in southern Africa was based on an enchanting promise: simultaneously contributing to global biodiversity conservation initiatives, regional peace and integration, and the sustainable socio-economic development of rural communities.
This book places lion conservation and the relationship between people and lions both in historical context and in the context of the contemporary politics of conservation in Africa.

Wild Anthropocene examines four key areas-the politics of deep time, neoliberalism's socio-ecological impacts, global population growth and inter-species entanglement-to demonstrate how literature illuminates progressive solutions to Anthropocene challenges.
Whether their populations are perceived as too large, just right, too small or non-existent, animal numbers matter to the humans with whom they share environments.

This text arose from a study originally undertaken for the Department of Energy to characterize the principal safety features of light water reactors of western design.
This inter-disciplinary book provides the latest advanced knowledge of plant effects on vegetated soil properties such as water retention capability, water permeability function, shear strength, slope hydrology, movements and failure mechanisms, and applies this knowledge to the solution of slope stability problems.
