Women are often at the centre of these struggles, struggles which concern local knowledge, everyday practice, rights to resources, sustainable development, environmental quality, and social justice.
The book bridges the gap between the academic and rural orientation of political ecology and the largely activist and urban focus of environmental justice movements.

The aim of this book is to enable facilitators from inside, as well as outside, communities to empower those people who are frequently omitted from the decision-making process.;The book explores participatory approaches to development and offers innovative, collaborative tools for working with local groups and communities.

Other issues examined by this book include how differences in class, ethnicity, race, caste, religion, age and status may also lead to the "politics of exclusion" that this book aims to avoid.;In addition to being a tool book, the contributors also address some of the issues raised through working in a participatory way, such as: the ends and means of participation, uneven relations of power among participants, temporal context, spatial scale, and the array of organizations involved.

Das Buch bietet am exemplarischen Beispiel des Nurnberger Fruhneuhochdeutschen um 1500 eine systematische historisch-synchrone Darstellung der Adjektivderivation. Die Untersuchung knupft an die Arbeiten zur substantivischen (Peter O. Muller) und verbalen Wortbildung (Mechthild Habermann) des Fruhneuhochdeutschen an und basiert auf einem Textcorpus, das aus den Schriften dreier Nurnberger Autoren des 15./16. Jahrhunderts besteht (Albrecht Durer, Veit Dietrich, Heinrich Deichsler). Die Arbeit gliedert sich in einen methodisch-theoretischen Teil, der sich mit den Rahmenbedingungen und Spezifika der adjektivischen Wortbildung befasst, und einen empirischen Analyseteil. In der Wortbildungsanalyse werden zunachst die mor-phologischen Typen der Adjektivderivation, sodann die Funktionstypen und Funktionsklassen beschrieben und schliesslich mit dem gegenwartssprachlichen System der Adjektivderivation verglichen. Dabei zeigt sich im Kernbereich eine weitgehende UEbereinstmmung zwischen beiden Sprachperioden. Daruber hinaus lasst die diachrone Sprachentwicklung aber eine Erweiterung des Systems um die exogene Derivation sowie einen Vereinheitlichungsprozess durch den Abbau von Konkurrenzen erkennen.
