Learning From China? - Development and Environment in Third World Countries (Hardcover): Bernhard Glaeser Learning From China? - Development and Environment in Third World Countries (Hardcover)
Bernhard Glaeser
R4,006 Discovery Miles 40 060 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

First published in 1987, this volume was written to shed some light upon the nature and environmental consequences and wider relevance of development strategies in the Peoples? Republic of China. It covers industrialisation, food production, energy use and landscape and settlement planning.

The Chinese "autocentred" strategy is assessed from both the developmental and the environmental viewpoints. Decision-making processes and the opportunities to implement environmental policy in other parts of the developing world are analysed and the volume concludes with the view that benefits to other countries are likely to arise out of increased co-operation and exchange with China, although the Chinese model is by no means a panacea.

All students and researchers interested in either environmental or developmental issues will find this book to be a substantial and enlightening contribution to literature.

The Green Revolution Revisited - Critique and Alternatives (Hardcover): Bernhard Glaeser The Green Revolution Revisited - Critique and Alternatives (Hardcover)
Bernhard Glaeser
R4,442 Discovery Miles 44 420 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The Green Revolution -- the apparently miraculous increase in cereal crop yields achieved in the 1960s -- came under severe criticism in the 1970s because of its demands for optimal irrigation, intensive use of fertilisers and pesticides; its damaging impact on social structures; and its monoculture approach. The early 1980s saw a concerted approach to many of these criticisms under the auspices of Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). This book, first published in 1987, analyses the recent achievements of the CGIAR and examines the Green Revolution concept in South America, Asia and Africa, from an ecodevelopment' standpoint, with particular regard to the plight of the rural poor. The work is characterised by a concern for the ecological and social dimensions of agricultural development, which puts the emphasis on culturally compatible, labour absorbing and environmentally sustainable food production which will serve the long term needs of developing countries.

Environment, Development, Agriculture - Integrated Policy Through Human Ecology (Hardcover): Bernhard Glaeser Environment, Development, Agriculture - Integrated Policy Through Human Ecology (Hardcover)
Bernhard Glaeser
R4,138 Discovery Miles 41 380 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This reissue, first published in 1995, focuses on philosophy and social science in human ecology, and includes case studies dealing with the problems of political implementation of development plans and schemes. Part One deals with theory, including a comprehensive introduction to the field and an overview of the conceptual modelling typical in human ecology. Part Two moves towards questions of human behaviour and action, exploring the relationship between environmental ethics and policy in terms of the justification and implementation of human interactions with nature and the environment on an ecologically sustainable basis. In Part Three, the author focuses on environmental policy in China since 1949 and on a regional case study in India. The final part of the book discusses the prospects for sustainable development more broadly, in terms of favouring ecological and cultural variety in agriculture and of viewing the relationship between human beings and the natural environment as a matter of overexploitation rather than crisis.

Humanoekologie und Kulturoekologie - Grundlagen * Ansatze * Praxis (German, Paperback, 1992 ed.): Bernhard Glaeser Humanoekologie und Kulturoekologie - Grundlagen * Ansatze * Praxis (German, Paperback, 1992 ed.)

R1,472 Discovery Miles 14 720 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

"Humanoekologie und Kulturoekologie" umreisst ein Forschungsfeld, das es - zumindest so - noch nicht gibt, obwohl beide Disziplinen auf einige Jahrzehnte Forschung zuruckblicken. Wahrend Humanoekologie sich als Lehre der Mensch-Umwelt-Interaktion versteht, deren Traditionen in verschiedenen Natur- und Sozialwissenschaften wurzeln, untersucht Kulturoekologie die besondere Ausgestaltung der Mensch-Natur-Beziehungen als Folge kultureller Leistungen.In diesem Band werden Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede zwischen beiden Wissensgebieten ausgelotet, zugleich wird die Brucke geschlagen von eher theoretischen Kulturkonzepten der Natur zu mehr praxisorientierten Anwendungen der beiden Denk- und Forschungsrichtungen. Beteiligt sind dabei die Fachdisziplinen Kultur- und Sozialanthropologie, Soziologie, Bevoelkerungswissenschaft, Geographie und Medizin.Die Gliederung des Buches folgt drei Motiven. Nach dem einleitenden historischen UEberblick stellt Teil II kulturell orientierte Naturkonzepte aus der Sicht und der UEberlieferung unterschiedlicher Wissensbereiche vor. Teil III wendet sich neuen Wegen und Verfahren zu, die das Gefuge wissenschaftlicher Forschung auf dem Gebiet der Human- und Kulturoekologie, mittelbar auch das Gefuge einer gesellschaftlichen Umsetzung, in Bewegung bringen koennten. In Teil IV werden zur Verdeutlichung und Erganzung der theoretischen und methodischen UEberlegungen empirische Fallbeispiele angefugt, die human- und kulturoekologische Forschungen aus Agrar- und Industriekultur, aus ruralen und urbanen Lebensraumen betreffen. Ein abschliessendes Glossar enthalt die exemplarischen Definitionen und Einsichten aller Beitrage und zeigt damit knapp und ubersichtlich Perspektiven einer neuen Denkrichtung."(...) Insgesamt liegt hier ein ausgezeichnetes Fachbuch vor, wissenschaftlich fundiert, dem Leser sprachlich gut zuganglich, informativ und zeitweise geradezu spannend zu lesen, zum Nachdenken und Handeln herausfordernd."technik und mensch 3/4-93

Umweltpolitik Zwischen Reparatur und Vorbeugung (German, Paperback, 1989 ed.): Bernhard Glaeser Umweltpolitik Zwischen Reparatur und Vorbeugung (German, Paperback, 1989 ed.)

R1,622 Discovery Miles 16 220 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Die Aufgabe, auf engstem Raum eine Einfiihrung in die Umweltpolitik zu geben und dabei so vielfal- tige Themenbereiche zu beriihren wie Umweltpro- bleme in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland, im globa- len Zusammenhang, "Umwelt-AuBenpolitik", Um- weltpolitik in Entwicklungsllindem, China und Ja- pan, ist kaum losbar. Zu ihrer erschopfenden Be- handlung mOOten angesichts der Informationsfillle sicher mehrere Bucher von Spezialisten verschie- dener Disziplinen geschrieben werden. Das vorliegende, zwangslliufig im Umfang sehr beschrankte Buch wendet sich daher auch nicht an die Umweltspezialisten verschiedener Sparten, son- dem an diejenigen interessierten Leser, die eine Ein- fiihmng und einen Uberblick uber die Gesamtpro- blematik suchen, wobei die angegebene Literatur die Moglichkeit der Vertiefung bietet. Zudem habe ich einen normativ geleiteten Zugang zur Thema- tik gesucht, namlich Entscheidungen und Ablliufe yom "umweltethisch" gepragten Standpunkt des "betroffenen" Wissenschaftlers interpretiert - in der Hoffnung, damit einen wenn auch bescheidenen Beitrag zum Schutz einer Umwelt zu leisten, die des Menschen und der Natur wiirdig ist. Eine Schwierigkeit bot die notwendige Aktuali- tat der Darstellung. Umwe1tpolitik und Umwe1tpro- bleme sind mehr a1s manch anderes Politikfeld dem 9 Wandel unterworfen. Seit Beendigung der ersten Fassung des Manuskripts Anfang 1986 beispiels- weise wurde auf der nationalen Ebene der Bundes- republik ein Umweltministerium, dessen Kompe- tenzbereich davor weitgehend vom Innenministe- rium wahrgenommen worden war, neu geschaffen.
