York. Part II concentrates on water resources and the hazards of
toxic fish consumption. Part III features food security,
agriculture and land loss. Energy and the theme of land and
resource loss in host communities is the focus in Part IV. It
discusses the poverty that is pervasive in communities hosting
extractive oil and gas installations and the industry and attitudes
towards it in rural Trinidad and Nigeria. Part V employs spatial
analyses techniques to examine siting and toxic releases and Part
