The thought-provoking articles in Conservation can assist in
catalyzing the transition to a new green economy by shaping the
mind-sets of leaders, students, teachers and the public alike.'
Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary General and Executive Director,
UN Environment Programme (UNEP) 'An extremely useful compilation of
articles on the complex issues underlying nature conservation.'
Ashish Kothari, Co-chair, IUCN Intercommission Strategic Direction
on Governance, Equity, and Livelihoods in Relation to Protected
Areas (TILCEPA) 'In this intelligently chosen, broadly ranging set
of readings on conservation, Professor Adams assembles a set of
vital readings for professionals, teachers, students, and the
interested public.' Kent Redford, Director, Wildlife Conservation
Society Institute This 4-volume set, edited by a leading expert on
nature conservation, brings together in one collection a series of
papers fundamental to understanding the social, political, cultural
and scientific dimensions of conservation. Each volume is
introduced by a new review essay, which both sets the scope for the
collection and advances analytical understanding of conservation
issues. Volume I covers the historical development of conservation
ideas and reviews the diverse contemporary philosophical, ethical,
cultural and practical arguments for conservation. Volume II
addresses the core issue of conservation: the maintenance of living
diversity in the face of human demands on the biosphere. The
intention here is not to offer a sourcebook of conservation
science, but to include the key texts that have changed the way
conservation is understood and practised. Volume III explores the
overlaps and conflicts between conservation and development,
andwin-win solutions to conflicts between the two, including ideas
of sustainable development. Volume IV presents work on conservation
as an essentially political process, drawing chiefly on social
science and, in particular, political ecology and environmental
history.
