The Sierra Club's Fourteenth Biennial Wilderness Conference was cosponsored by the National Audubon Society, with over 100 organizations participating.
During the second half of the twentieth century, great changes have occurred in the natural sciences, spawned by the leap forward in physics during the war years and the growth in understanding of earth's history and place in the cosmos.
An outgrowth of the recognition that the varieties of impact assessment have much in common and that the common elements are a sound basis for an intellectual framework, this book incorporates contributions from leading practitioners of technology, environmental, and social impact assessment.
Knowledge of public attitudes and values is essential to the formulation and implementation of government policies affecting energy and other natural resources, but it is difficult to obtain and use this knowledge, for the pertinent issues are complex and involve such difficult-to-define concepts as degree of acceptable risk for both present and future generations.
Critical in solving the nuclear waste problem are such issues as the techniques needed to equitably select waste repository sites; the implications for economies, populations, public services, social structures, and future generations in siting areas; the best means for mitigating short- and long-term public and private impact of repositories; and the type of citizen involvement that best ensures the full participation of national, state, and local interest groups in the siting process.
This book presents essays that address the most strategic questions and challenges to scientists and policymakers on the important subject of climate change based on issues discussed at the 1992 Earth Summit.
Democracy and Environmental Movements in Eastern Europe: A Comparative Study of Hungary and Russia is a systematic comparison of environmental activism and more broadly, collective democratic action in two former state socialist societies.
As Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) become increasingly important in the policymaking process, it is vital that they be as complete and accurate as possible.
This book focuses on the political economy of the environment in Asia, examining the economic and political forces that have generated the problems, the political efforts to find solutions, and the economic and political contexts of proposed solutions.
Public decisions on environmental risk have traditionally been weighed in terms of the principle of efficiency and its methodologies, such as cost-benefit analysis.
As natural resources have become scarcer, issues of environmental policy have become more vital and subject to debate in global as well as local arenas.

With an emphasis on the challenges of sustaining the commons across local to global scales, Making Commons Dynamic examines the empirical basis of theorising the concepts of commonisation and decommonisation as a way to understand commons as a process and offers analytical directions for policy and practice that can potentially help maintain commons as commons in the future.
