The second volume of this series, Integrating Ecology into Global
Poverty Reduction Efforts: Opportunities and solutions, builds upon
the first volume, Integrating Ecology into Global Poverty Reduction
Efforts: The ecological dimensions to poverty, by exploring the way
in which ecological science and tools can be applied to address
major development challenges associated with rural poverty. In
volume 2, we explore how ecological principles and practices can be
integrated, conceptually and practically, into social, economic,
and political norms and processes to positively influence poverty
and the environment upon which humans depend. Specifically, these
chapters explore how ecological science, approaches and
considerations can be leveraged to enhance the positive impacts of
education, gender relations, demographics, markets and governance
on poverty reduction. As the final chapter on "The future and
evolving role of ecological science" points out, sustainable
development must be build upon an ecological foundation if it is to
be realized. The chapters in this volume illustrate how traditional
paradigms and forces guiding development can be steered along more
sustainable trajectories by utilizing ecological science to inform
project planning, policy development, market development and
decision making.
In the past, the science of ecology has frequently been excluded
from the development agenda for various reasons. Increasingly
however there has been a renewed interest in finding more
ecologically sustainable means of development that have required a
strong foundation in ecological knowledge (for example
EcoAgriculture Partnerships, EcoHealth presented at ESA, and
EcoNutrition proposed by Deckelbaum et al). Each of these examples
has already taken the critical first step at integrating ecological
knowledge with agriculture, health and nutrition, respectively.
However, this is only the first step; more attention needs to be
placed not only on the role that two fields can play towards
poverty alleviation, but on the role of a truly integrated,
interdisciplinary approach towards development goals that is firmly
grounded in ecological understanding. We feel that a critical look
at what ecology can and cannot provide to the development agenda,
in light of the Millennium Development goals, is timely and
crucial. The introduction and the final section of the book will
then integrate the lessons and principles outlined in each of the
chapters. All chapter authors will be heavily encouraged to focus
on how their sub-discipline in ecology impacts overall human
well-being and environmental sustainability.
*As seen on The Ripper (Netflix) and Surviving a Serial Killer
(More4)* Criminologist Jane Carter Woodrow has spent many years
working with both offenders and victims of violent crime, but it
wasn't until she met Neil, whose mother was one of the Yorkshire
Ripper's first victims, that she realised quite how devastating the
aftermath of a murder can be. Everything seemed perfect in Neil
Jackson's childhood until one day, on a cold January morning in
1976. He was awoken by the police knocking on the door to break the
shocking news that his mother had become the second victim of a
serial killer - soon to become known as the 'Yorkshire Ripper'.
This evil act exposed a web of secrets and lies that was to
devastate Neil and change his life forever. In After Evil,
criminologist Jane Carter Woodrow reveals what happens when the
camera and the lurid headlines fade away. Neil's riveting story
captures the real nature of the tragedy that murder can visit on a
family and shows how incredibly he pieced his life back together
after becoming one of the forgotten victims of Britain's most
notorious serial killer.
A gripping read on the real story of Rose West who, together with
her husband Fred West, became Britain's biggest and most notorious
murderers. ***As seen on the Channel 5 documentary Making a
Monster*** Although it's hard to believe now, Rose West was an
exceptionally beautiful little girl with long, glossy dark hair and
big brown eyes. Looking at photos of young Rosie as a child, it is
almost impossible to comprehend that she would grow up to become
one of Britain's most notorious female murderers. But Rose's early
life made her the perfect partner for Fred West, and the two
committed a string of murders in Gloucester throughout the
seventies and eighties. Her part in the killings is very different
to that which many people believe even today. What happened to that
little girl to make her capable of such violence? Or was there
something wrong - a predisposition to cruelty - which she was born
with? Crime writer Jane Carter Woodrow goes back to the start of
Rose's life to piece together what it was that turned her into a
monster. In doing so, she presents us with a profile of the young
Rose West and a fascinating insight into the mind of a killer. ROSE
is a gripping read which sheds light for the first time on the real
story of Rose West - taking the reader on a journey from her
childhood through to her becoming the country's biggest and most
infamous female sexual predator and serial killer.
