Economics in Urban Conservation

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lichfield, Nathaniel, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, The role of economics in urban conservation is relatively underdeveloped. Professor Lichfield has added to his other pioneering studies in this innovative and important exposition of approach, method and techniques for the systematic application of economics in the conservation of urban areas. In order to establish an appropriate base for the economic analysis and application in parts III, IV and V of the book, the opening sections provide essential background information about the management and planning for conservation in the urban system in general and examine the special place of the cultural built heritage: those building and objects chosen by society for particular protection. Written in a highly accessible style, Economics in Urban Conservation makes a major contribution to an understanding of how economics in conservation can help in achieving a sensible balance between continuity and change in the built environment.

The Economics of the Yasun Initiative: Climate Change as If

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Vogel, Joseph Henry / Chichilnisky, Graciela / Hermida, Jose Manuel, PUBLISHER: Anthem Press, Climate change lends itself to both political economy and humor. Vogel argues that mainstream economics fails to recognize the thermodynamic nature of climate change, thereby missing the point of Northern appropriation of the atmospheric sink. The payment Ecuador seeks for not drilling in the Yasuni is equitable and efficient. Heeding the call of Deirdre (formerly Donald) McCloskey that economics needs humour, Vogel has written a scathing critique of economics-as-usual which also entertains.

Builders and Fighters: U.S. Army Engineers in World War II

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: U. S. Army Corps of Engineers / Fowle, Barry W., PUBLISHER: University Press of the Pacific, The Corps of Engineers played an important part in winning World War II. Its work included building and repairing roads, bridges, and airfields; laying and clearing minefields; establishing and destroying obstacles; constructing training camps and other support facilities; building the Pentagon; and providing facilities for the development of the atomic bomb. In addition to their construction work, engineers engaged in combat with the enemy in the Battle of the Bulge, on the Ledo Road in Burma, in the mountains of Italy, and at numerous other locations. Certainly one of the highlights of Corps activity during World War II was the construction of the -mile Alaska Highway, carved out of the Canadian and Alaskan wilderness. Builders and Fighters is a series of essays on some of the hectic engineer activity during World War II. Veterans of that war should read this book and point with pride to their accomplishments. In it, today's engineers will find further reasons to be proud of their heritage. H. J. Hatch Lieutenant General, USA Chief of Engineers
