Environmental conflict resolution (ECR) is a process of negotiation
that allows stakeholders in a dispute to reach a mutually
satisfactory agreement on their own terms. The tools of ECR, such
as facilitation, mediation, and conflict assessment, suggest that
it fits well with other ideas for reforming environmental policy.
First used in 1974, ECR has been an official part of policymaking
since the mid 1990s. The Promise and Performance of Environmental
Conflict Resolution is the first book to systematically evaluate
the results of these efforts.
The Promise and Performance of Environmental Conflict Resolution
presents empirical research along with insights from some of ECR's
most experienced practitioners. Beginning with a primer about
concepts and methods, the book describes the kinds of disputes
where ECR has been applied, making it clear that "despite the faith
of proponents in the power and usefulness of ECR, it is not
applicable to all environmental conflicts."The contributions that
follow critically investigate the record and potential of ECR,
drawing on perspectives from political science, public
administration, regional planning, philosophy, psychology,
anthropology, and law.
ECR is being extended to almost every area of environmental
policy. Rosemary O'Leary and Lisa Bingham argue that truly
effective use of ECR requires something more than advocacy. The
Promise and Performance of Environmental Conflict Resolution
provides scholars, policymakers, students, and practitioners with
critical assessments, so that ECR can be used to its best
advantage.

Augusta McKendrick will do anything to protect a murderer--even
confess to the crime. But interrogator Major Jackson St. Charles
believes dark secrets lurk behind the case--including his own
forbidden desires for Augusta. From the author of Sweet Dalliance
and Sweet Defiance.
RueAnn Boggs meets Charles Tolliver, a handsome Brit with a secret
job, and in the course of twenty-four hours, RueAnn is swept off
her feet-seduced, wed, and then left by dashing Charlie, who
hastily departs for an assignment in England. When weeks go by and
she hears nothing from her new husband, RueAnn becomes determined
to find out if she's a wife in name only, and she travels to London
for answers. But what she finds there is not at all what she
expects... Susan Blunt has spent her life staying put, retreating
into her books while her vivacious twin sister, Sara, lives life to
the fullest. The start of the war hasn't stopped vibrant Sara from
collecting a throng of beaus in uniform, including Paul Overdone,
an RAF pilot heading for the front. When Sara pressures Susan into
switching places and going to a dance with Paul, Susan reluctantly
agrees. Little does Susan know that a single night is more than
enough time to fall deeply in love with Paul-who returns her ardor,
even though he thinks she is someone else... When the Blitz begins
and bombs start raining down on London, both RueAnn and Susan must
find the strength and courage they never knew they had in order to
survive. They form a friendship out of the city's ashes, one that
helps them weather the storm as they wait for news from the
front-from the men they love, have lost, and hope desperately to
find once more. Set against the backdrop of a remarkable era, Into
the Storm brilliantly explores relationships in wartime, when the
passion shared in just one day could sustain love for a lifetime
and the love borne of one night's deception could become the truth
that saves a life. "Lisa Bingham is a master storyteller." -AFFAIRE
DE COEUR
In a homespun style that recalls the magic of her debut novel,
Silken Dreams, Bingham has created a tale of a wild Irish rose
posing as a gambling British widow and the gorgeous U.S. marshal
who wins her heart.
Her highly acclaimed Sweet trilogy captivated readers. Now Bingham
begins her most high-spirited trilogy yet. Delicious sexual tension
and delightful humor give the series an irresistible start, with
the tale of a proper Boston beauty swept into a most improper
predicament involving a lanky hero, a dangerous mission, and a
tempestuous love.
The second book in Lisa Bingham's romantic three sisters trilogy
begun in "Wild Escapades" pairs a prim governess with a roguish sea
captain and plunges them into a perilous situation awash with
desire.
The highly-praised author of Distant Thunder returns with another
heart-stirring romance. When proper English governess Chelsea
Wickersham agrees to tutor Sullivan Cane, who had been abducted
from his island hideaway and spirited to Scotland, she expects to
find a boy--not the magnificent heathen who inflames the desires
she has long supressed.
Sensible Constance Pedigrue reluctantly agrees to pay off her debt
to successful theatrical producer Gideon Payne by working for him.
But a madman's scheme has set the stage for Constance and Gideon to
join forces--testing their reluctant trust, and sparking reckless
hungers.
The first book in critically acclaimed Lisa Bingham's St. Charles
trilogy. Sweet Dalliance is the story of a man who believes that
love can be no more than a pleasant diversion, and of the woman who
wins his heart. On the run from the Union army, Micah--and his
clothes--are captured by Eliza in her barn. . . .
The author of Temptation's Kiss takes readers to the English
seacoast, where a young woman has jumped overboard and swum to
shore . . . only to find herself in the arms of a mysterious
stranger whose face is as angry as it is handsome. . . .
