It's one thing to be passionate about protecting the environment. It's another to be successful at it. This history of environmentalism includes a constant shift from one concern to another, and many laws have been enacted to clean up pollution or preserve natural beauty. However, many of these laws are ineffective and others have had unintended consequences. In this updated edition, Richard Stroup explains how economics applies to environmental decision...

The strange death of three young children in a small coastal village in far away Papua New Guinea in March 1972 did not rate a mention in the territory's annual report that year to its Australian governors-let alone make a ripple in international ponds.

Readers learn all about tropical and temperate rainforests and the differences between these two unique biomes. Rainforests are filled with wonder and mystery, from the tall trees in the canopy to the dark and damp leaves on the forest floor. The plants and animals that inhabit these rainforests are varied and exotic. They depend on the rainforest, as does the rest of the world.

Perhaps nothing is more frightening than seeing a forest fire rage out of control. Sometimes, however, fires are set intentionally to benefit the environment. Readers will learn what fire is, how it burns, and how fires can both help and harm the areas they affect.

El presente libro es el resultado de investigación de distintos proyectos en América Latina que se enlazan desde el Programa-Red Estudios del Rururbano en América Latina (ELER). Por este motivo, es necesario, antes de continuar con los antecedentes que llevan al ELER a pensar en una segunda publicación luego de su fundación en 2019, explicar qué entendemos por rururbano. Lo rururbano es una configuración territorial que puede ubicarse básicamente...
