  • Green Industrial Restructuring

    International Case Studies and Theoretical Interpretations

    Edited by Manfred Binder, Martin Jänicke, Ulrich Petschow ...
    Structural change in basic industries is usually interpreted as an autonomous economic process.

  • Chemistry

    A Very Short Introduction

    by Peter Atkins ...
    Series series Very Short Introductions
    Most people remember chemistry from their schooldays as largely incomprehensible, a subject that was fact-rich but understanding-poor, smelly, and so far removed from the real world of events and pleasures that there seemed little point, except for the most introverted, in coming to terms with its grubby concepts, spells, recipes, and rules. Peter Atkins wants to change all that. In this Very ... Read more

  • The Social Dimensions Of Climate Change: Equity And Vulnerability In A Warming World

    by Robin Mearns; Andrew Norton; Edward Cameron ...
    Climate change is arguably the most profound challenge facing the international community in the 21st century.

It could undermine or reverse progress in reducing poverty and attaining the Millenium Development Goals, thereby unraveling many of the development gains of recent decades. It ... Read more

    by Warren Johnson ...

This simple brute fact is the basic ... Read more
