Blood Pressure in Prison was to present, in a single location, the
rationale, background, methods, principal results, analyses,
interpretations, and conclusions of the authors’ studies at
Massachusetts correctional institutions. Employing a longitudinal
method for studying 568 inmates, the authors drew on psychological,
social and health sciences assessments to identify the effects of
housing mode, prison employment, leisure activities, disciplinary
actions, and personal and sociodemographic characteristics to
identify what was particularly stressful for inmates. A parallel
study of prison staff and a specific series of conclusions and
recommendations concludes the book.

As atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases continue to
increase, so does the potential for atmospheric warming and
associated climate change. In an effort to address the threat of
global climate change, 155 countries signed the UN Framework
Convention on Climate Change at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro
in June 1992. As of the first session of the Conference of the
Parties, 128 nations had ratified the Convention. Among their other
commitments, Parties to the Convention must develop and
periodically update national inventories of net anthropogenic
greenhouse gas emissions using comparable methodologies, and must
develop and implement national programs to mitigate greenhouse gas
emissions. To further the development of emission inventories and
mitigation options within the African context, 64 governmental and
non-governmental scientists and policy analysts from 23 nations
gathered at a workshop near Johannesburg, South Africa from 29 May
to 2 June 1995. The workshop focused on forestry, land-use change,
and agriculture, because these sectors not only are responsible for
the majority of emissions from the continent and provide promising
opportunities for emissions mitigation, but also are a vital
component of African economic growth and development. This book
presents the workshop's major conclusions and findings, as well as
individual papers that were prepared for the workshop, each of
which was peer-reviewed and accepted for publication as part of the
workshop process. The papers cover four areas: (1) issues are
associated with data collection and emission factor determination;
(2) problems associated with applying the IPCC inventory
methodologies in Africa; (3) results of national inventory
assessments in Africa; and (4) possible emissions mitigation
options and methods for evaluating their potential viability. As
the first book dedicated solely to greenhouse gas emissions and
mitigation options in Africa, this will be an invaluable resource
to scientists, policymakers, and development specialists interested
in global climate change and Africa.
International concern for the continued growth of greenhouse gas
emissions, and the potentially damaging consequences of resultant
global climate change, led to the signing of the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change by 155 nations at the Earth
Summit in June 1992. The Convention came into force on 21 March
1994, three months after receiving its 50th ratification. All
Parties to the Convention are required to compile, periodically
update, and publish national inventories of anthropogenic
greenhouse gas emissions and sinks using comparable methodologies.
In support of this process, the US Country Studies Program (US CSP)
is providing financial and technical assistance to 56 developing
and transition countries for conducting national inventories. This
book presents the results of preliminary national inventories
prepared by countries participating in the US CSP that are ready to
share their interim findings. In some cases, inventories were
prepared with support from other organizations. Preliminary
inventories of twenty countries in Africa, Asia, Central and
Eastern Europe and the Newly Independent States, and Latin America
are presented, as well as regional and global syntheses of the
national results. The regional and global syntheses also discuss
results of eleven other preliminary national inventories that have
been published elsewhere with the assistance of other programs.
Results are discussed in the context of national and regional
socioeconomic characteristics, and the regional and global
syntheses compare national inventory estimates to other published
estimates that are based largely on international databases. Papers
also discuss inventory development issues, such as data collection
and emission factor determination, and problems associated with
applying the IPCC inventory methodologies. The preliminary
inventory results reported here represent significant progress
towards meeting country commitments under the Framework Convention,
and provide useful information for refining international
greenhouse gas emission databases and improving inventory
methodologies. As the first book to compile national greenhouse gas
emission estimates prepared by national experts in developing
countries and countries with economies in transition, this will be
an invaluable resource to scientists, policymakers, and development
specialists in national, regional and global anthropogenic sources
and sinks of greenhouse gases.
