Mineral exploration is an economic activity of worldwide
importance. This volume, originally published in 1988, makes a
substantial contribution to the understanding of mineral
exploration and the major economic, political, and geologic forces
that govern it. Some chapters examine the behaviour and performance
of particular participants in the exploration process while others
focus on specific countries. This is a valuable title for any
student interested in environmental studies and the global impact
of econonmics.
What we call the nation's energy policy attempts to give direction
to the production, use, transportation, and distribution of energy
to help achieve an array of societal goals in the most compatible
ways. In this title, originally published in 1993, noted analysts
provide insight into complex policy issues of significant
importance. Among the topics addressed are difficulties encountered
in trying to fashion energy policy in the U.S. congress, the nature
of energy policies and environmental polices, the challenges
arising from regional conflict over energy policies, and the
viability of deregulating electric power production. This
collection of lectures is a valuable resource for students
interested in environmental studies and public policy.
First Published in 1975. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.

The two major concerns in the energy policy debate relate to
economic efficiency and whether the price should indicate to each
consumer the true cost to the economy of using more energy, and the
second is that of economic equity where it is argued that energy is
a basic necessity for survival and the government has the
responsibility to provide assistance for lower-income families.
Originally published in 1982, this volume focuses on the uneven
impact of rising energy costs on different income groups, regions,
and household locations. This collection of papers helps to fill
the knowledge gaps about the amount and distribution of household
energy expenditure. The volume is organised with a paper
introducing each topic followed by one or two discussants' remarks
further examining the issues at hand. It is a valuable title for
students interested in environmental studies and national policy.
High energy prices affect nearly the whole of the American
population, arguably affecting some consumer groups more than
others. Although originally published in 1981, the issues explored
in this study such as who is affected most by energy price
increases, regional differences and what can or should be done in
the United States in regards to energy costs are still as relevant
today as they were then. These papers attempt to directly address
these concerns in the wake of the 1979-80 price shock in America
and to advise what action can be taken to allay these concerns.
This title will be of interest to students of environmental studies
and economics.
Originally published in 1974, this report dwells on the problems of
meeting global energy demands and the time, effort and knowledge
needed to research new energy methods. With rising costs, the
uncertainty of supply from the Middle East and concern over the
environmental impact of energy products, Energy and the Social
Sciences outlines the intense need for well-designed research. This
title will be of interest to students of Environmental Studies.
