No one likes ticky-tacky houses spread all over the landscape and invading the suburbs, least of all the people who already live there. But are environmentalists and suburbanites right when they object? Bernard Frieden, Professor of Urban Planning at MIT, doesn't think so. At least not when their objections take the form that they have in northern California. In this lively and certainly controversial book, Frieden uncovers

In 1970, President Richard Nixon created the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to confront environmental pollution and protect the health of the American people. One of the EPA's top priorities was consolidating numerous state offices to more efficiently carry out its goal of "working for a cleaner, healthier environment for the American people."But there was one area in which the EPA--like many government agencies of the time--was terribly inefficient: their graphic design and communications department. Millions of dollars were being wasted annually due to nonstandardized formats, inefficient processes and almost everything being designed from scratch.In 1977 the EPA began working with the legendary New York design firm Chermayeff & Geismar (now Chermayeff & Geismar & Haviv, or CGH), responsible for some of the most recognizable visual identities in the world, such as Chase Bank, PBS, National Geographic, the Smithsonian Institution, Mobil Oil and NBC. Partners Ivan Chermayeff, Tom Geismar and Steff Geissbuhler set about tackling this problem. The result was the 1977 US Environmental Protection Agency Graphic Standards System.Forty years later, Jesse Reed & Hamish Smyth--creators of the NYCTA and NASA Graphics Standards Manual reissues--have partnered with CGH and AIGA, the US's oldest and largest professional organization for design, to publish this classic graphic standards EPA manual as a hardcover volume. Each page is reproduced at the same size as the original three-ring binder pages, using the same vibrant Pantone inks with a total of 14 colors.

Environmental Protection and Justice offers students both a broad ethical and practical perspective on the evolving practice of Environmental Law, and a more specific focus on environmental justice developments. The book's "environmental justice" materials have been expanded and updated for this Second Edition, creating an extensive and useful selection of such materials. This edition refines and builds upon the original materials with important recent developments, most notably selections from EPA's proposed Title VI Guidances and materials on the Shintech-Tulane Environmental Law Clinic controversy.

The procedures and processes aimed at protecting the environment from the damage done by humans fall under the subject of environmental protection. With an increase in population as well as land use, ecological processes become slower and delayed, and hence preserving our ecosystem has become a necessity. The book delves into the subject of environmental protection and sustainable ecological development. It is meant for students who are looking for an elaborate reference text on environmental protection. It will also prove beneficial for environmentalists, ecologists, conservationists and anyone else associated with this field.

This case book introduces students to fundamentals of environmental law and explains the logic behind the nation's current regulatory and other environmental initiatives. Material is presented primarily through an examination of the major environmental statutes, to stress the factual, scientific, and technical contexts of environmental legislation. This fourth edition integrates place-based approaches to addressing environmental problems, and adds chapter-opening summaries, plus new charts, tables, and problems.

LIGHTNING FAST SHIPPING! A heavily used, but still working copy. Coffee stain and wrinkling to the edge of the pages when a tired undergrad fell asleep and knocked their cup over on their books. The binding and pages of the book have been reinforced with tape, has tape and stickers on the cover, as well as lots of notes (some of the answers in the learning activities may be filled in) on the pages. Definitely not pretty, but it's a working copy at a great price that ships fast. Includes online access code.

Expanded to cover the Bush administration and the beginnings of the Clinton administration, this exploration of one of the most critical problems of modern government and democratic politics is now more timely than ever. Through careful analysis of representative cases, it evaluates the Environmental Protection Agency's performance over its entire existence, uncovers the mistaken premises that have clouded and distorted debate about environmental policy, and shows how public officials might better preserve and promote constitutional democracy.

Seven original case studies show how the internationalization of environmental protection efforts is altering policy-making processes, policy outcomes, and the effectiveness of policy implementation. At the same time, the authors argue, the vital role of sub-state politics continues to influence the nature of national responses to international environmental problems. This book represents an important contribution to the debate on international environmental cooperation for students of international relations, comparative politics and environmental studies.

Attempts to achieve a pragmatic understanding of what the statutes, regulations, and cases say about the law. The questions and materials following the excerpts not only challenge the student to understand how the current legal regime is applied but also invite students to think about how differently the law is constructed. Emphasizes the distinction between the technology-based approach and the media quality-based approach to improving and maintaining environmental quality. Chapters are arranged largely by statute.

Almost a billion people all over the earth suffer from hunger and malnutrition. Many of them are starving while the world's population continues to grow dramatically. The population in the industrialized nations, whose hunger is still abundantly satisfied, must struggle with the costs of heavily subsidized overproduction of food. Still, the worldwide lack of food will also pose a threatening problem to them.

Production-integrated environmental protection is synonymous with - reducing the amount of potential pollutants at source- reducing the consumption of resources and energy- recycling and utilization of residues and used products, and therefore a topic of considerable current interest.No chemical process exists that produces only the product desired. Therefore it is an important aim of the chemical industry to reduce the environmental effects of residues of chemical processes.This can be achieved by:- optimizing processes- applying new synthesis routes- improving selectivity- replacing auxiliaries that have a harmful effect on the environment- production-integrated recovery of residuesto name just a few possibilities.If you want to know more about them, have a look at Protection-Integrated Environmental Protection and Waste Management. There you will find examples from the chemical industry where modification of existing manufacturing processes or the design of new processes has led to reduction of environmental pollution. Data from companies are given who operate world-wide reflecting a multi national situation.

Ecofamilism proposes a new analytical framework, moving beyond ecofeminism, based on Western feminism and Christian theology, to illuminate Taiwanese women’s motivations and how they understand their role in the environmental movement. Based on extensive interviews with women founders, leaders, and members of six non-governmental, often religious-based, organizations from 1990–2015, the work presents contemporary issues in Taiwan from the perspectives of social anthropology, geography, inter-religious cooperation, and global ethics. Ecofamilism offers a new way of approaching life in contemporary Asia, engaging more precisely with while authentically portraying the experiences of Taiwanese women―whose gender roles are ancillary to motivations of family, religion, and society. Its key concept of ecofamilism pairs the notions of ecology and family while drawing on Chinese religio-cultural traditions of responsibility to the family to illuminate ecologically responsible positions toward society, environment, and all living beings.
