Environmental laws and regulations are extremely complex and
difficult to understand. In order to comply with them, they need to
be explained in layperson's terms. This handbook identifies many
changes in regulations and recommends ways to apply and implement
them. It contains the latest and most up-to-date environmental
information divided into four volumes, each focused on Air, Water,
Land, and Sustainability. Readers will find real-life examples for
the most important aspects of environmental protection and a
comprehensive coverage of all areas of environmental regulation and
concerns. Features: Discusses up-to-date legislation and examples
of what to look for and how to present it in a compliance report.
Includes new areas which have become more highly regulated and are
of current importance. Addresses a wider spectrum of issues that go
beyond chemical-based contamination and environmental regulations
and examines the impacts of climate change. Includes many real-life
examples and case studies from industry and institutions that
comply with environmental regulations. Global coverage of
regulations which are very useful to companies that have expanded
operations outside their country of origin.
A lively and stimulating resource for all 1st year students of
human geography, this introductory Reader comprises key published
writings from the main fields of human geography. Because the
subject is both broad and necessarily only loosely defined, a
principal aim of this book is to present a view of the subject
which is theoretically informed and yet recognises that any view is
partial, contingent and subject to change.
The extracts selected are accessible and raise issues of method and
theory as well as fact. The editors have chosen articles that not
only represent main currents in the present flow of academic
geography but which are also responsive to developments outside of
the discipline. Their selection contains a mixture of established
and recent writings and each section features a contextualizing
introduction and detailed suggestions for further reading.
Understanding that the natural world beneath our feet is the point
at which civilization meets the natural world is critical to the
success of restoration and prevention efforts to reduce contaminant
impacts and improve the global environment because of one simple
fact - contaminants do not respect country borders. Contaminants
often begin their destructive journey immediately after being
released and can affect the entire planet if the release is in just
the right amount, at just the right location, and at just the right
time. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, Urban Watersheds,
Geology, Contamination, Environmental Regulations, and
Sustainability, Second Edition presents more than 30 years of
research and professional practice on urban watersheds from the
fields of environmental geology, geochemistry, risk analysis,
hydrology, and urban planning. The geological characteristics of
urbanized watersheds along with the physical and chemical
properties of their common contaminants are integrated to assess
risk factors for soil, groundwater, and air. This new edition
continues to examine the urban environment and the geology beneath
urban areas, evaluates the contamination that affects watersheds in
urban regions, and addresses redevelopment strategies. Features of
the Second Edition: Examines contaminants and the successes of
environmental regulation worldwide and highlights the areas that
need improvement Describes several advances in investigation
techniques in urban regions that now provide a huge leap forward in
data collection, resolution, and accuracy Explains the importance
of understanding the geological and hydrogeologic environments of
urban and developed regions Provides new and enhanced methods
presented as a sustainability model for assessing risks to human
health and the environment from negative human-induced contaminant
impacts Includes a new chapter that surveys how environmental
regulations have been successful or have failed at protecting the
air, water, and land in urban areas Suitable for use as a textbook
and as a professional practice reference, the book includes case
studies on successful and unsuccessful approaches to contaminant
remediation as well as practical methods for environmental risk
assessment. PowerPoint (R) presentations of selected portions of
the book are available with qualifying course adoption. Daniel T.
Rogers is currently the Director of Environmental Affairs at Amsted
Industries Inc. in Chicago, Illinois. His writings address
environmental geology, hydrogeology, geologic vulnerability and
mapping, contaminant fate and transport, urban geology,
environmental site investigations, contaminant risk, brownfield
redevelopment, and sustainability. He has taught geology and
environmental chemistry at Eastern Michigan University and the
University of Michigan.
This book provides a critical understanding of the challenges that
exist in protecting the local and global environment through
compliance efforts using existing environmental regulations. The
best compliance measures with the most useful regulations from over
50 countries are surveyed and are combined with science-based
quantitative analysis of geology, hydrogeology, and the chemistry
of contaminants from anthropogenic sources. The results are
presented as a model that establishes a means by which protection
of the environment can be greatly improved. This is accomplished
through a deeper understanding of our natural world and how
anthropogenic activities and their management affect our planet.
Features The first book that examines the successes of
environmental regulation worldwide and highlights the areas that
need improvement Presents a tested and verified scientific model
for enhanced environmental protection with scalability from local
parcels to global levels Describes and integrates the importance of
understanding the geologic and hydrogeologic environment of urban
and developed areas Explains the importance of understanding the
different types of pollution and their behavior in the environment
Identifies the need for consistency in banning chemicals that are
harmful in not just one country but throughout the world
First published in 1999, the essays in this book examine the
context and conduct of a series of watershed elections held in
Anglophone Africa in the first half of the 1990s. These elections
crystallized a wider process of democratization, underway in much
of sub-Saharan Africa during the last decade, in which attempts
were made to shift from various forms of authoritarian rule
(colonial or racial oligarchies, military regimes, one-party
states, or presidential rule) to pluralist parliamentary politics.
This volume brings together for the first time, studies of these
events in countries sharing a comparable legacy of British
colonialism, an acquaintance with the Westminster constitutional
tradition and related experiences of decolonization and democratic
struggle. Written from a variety of perspectives by contributors
with first-hand knowledge and long experience of research in
Africa, the papers situate each election in its wider political
context, examining the political forces at work and the events
which gave rise to reform. All indicate that, despite Western
pressure for reform and the influence of the collapse of the Soviet
Bloc in Eastern Europe, internal African demands for democracy
provided the primary driving force for change. Not all the
elections fulfilled the hopes invested in them. In Nigeria, they
were annulled before all the votes had been counted. In Kenya, the
disarray of the opposition ensured the return to power of the old
order. Even where they produced a successful regime transition, the
democratic credentials of the new governments were sometimes
seriously flawed. Yet for all these limitations, these watershed
elections signalled important progress for African democracy. They
brought a formal end to colonial rule in Namibia and to three
centuries of racial discrimination in South Africa. They brought
changes of government through the ballot box in Zambia and Malawi,
among the first instances in Africa of such change being
accomplished without the use of force. Above all, they provided
African electorates with an opportunity to pass judgement on
long-serving authoritarian regimes - with unequivocal results: in
every case, when given the chance to vote, Africans voted for
democracy.
The first comprehensive and authoritative history of work and
labour in Africa; a key text for all working on African Studies and
Labour History worldwide. Co-published with the International
Labour Organization on the centenary of its founding in 1919, the
General Labour History of Africa is a landmark in the study of
labour history. It brings, for the first time, an African
perspective within a global context to the study of labour and
labour relations. The volume analyses key developments in the 20th
century, such as the emergence of free wage labour; the
transformation in labour relations; the role of capital and
employers; labour agency and movements; the growing diversity of
formal and informal or precarious labour; the meaning of work; and
the impact of gender and age on the workplace. The contributors -
eminent historians, anthropologists and social scientists from
Africa, Europe and the United States - examine African labour in
the context of labour and social issues worldwide: mobility and
colonial and postcolonial migration, child and forced labour,
security, the growth of entrepreneurial labour, the informal sector
and self-employment, and the impact of trade unionism, welfare and
state relations. The book discusses key sectors such as mining,
agriculture, industry, transport, domestic work, and sport, tourism
and entertainment, as well as the international dimension and the
history and impact of the International Labour Organization itself.
This authoritative and comprehensive work will be aninvaluable
resource for historians of labour, social relations and African
history. In association with the ILO Regional Office for Africa
