Since its emergence in the 1990s, the field of Urban Political Ecology (UPE) has focused on unsettling traditional understandings of the 'city' as entirely distinct from nature, showing instead how cities are metabolically linked with ecological processes and the flow of resources.
Volume on climate change adaptation and mitigation efforts in cities around the world for policymakers, urban planners, researchers and advanced students.

Covers the problem of accumulative chemicals in the environment; for researchers in environmental science, environmental policy, economics and toxicology.
Comprehensively describes this major environmental catastrophe for graduate students and researchers of environmental studies, global change, political science and history.
This book considers how basic income could be used as a mechanism for disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation in African agrarian societies.
A quantitative, broad, hands-on introduction to the cutting-edge science of global warmingThis textbook introduces undergraduates to the concepts and methods of global warming science, covering topics that they encounter in the news, ranging from the greenhouse effect and warming to ocean acidification, hurricanes, extreme precipitation, droughts, heat waves, forest fires, the cryosphere, and more.
The authoritative introduction to natural water chemistry THIRD EDITION Now in its updated and expanded Third Edition, Aquatic Chemistry remains the classic resource on the essential concepts of natural water chemistry.
Despite a history of several decades of pesticide regulation, continuous innovation, and considerable practical experience with using pesticides in agriculture, the environmental impact of pesticide use continues to be of serious concern.
A brief introduction to a complex topic, giving a description of the processes involved in an accidental or emergency release and the resulting downwind transport and dilution of gases, vapors, and aerosols.
The second edition of this essential reference updates and combines two earlier titles to capture the many technological advances for predicting the "e;footprint"e; of a vapor cloud release.
This book documents CCPS's Aerosol Research Program to develop a model to predict liquid rainout from release of a pressurized, liquefied gas--and, hence the residual amount of material in a vapor cloud, which may be greater than the amount calculated from an enthalpy chart.
