An innovative study that examines how peaceful, domestic tactics by
individual human rights activists and organizational activists,
with public support, can force an authoritarian regime to make key
concessions. Robert Press explores the creation and impact of a
culture of resistance. He examines how domestic pressure can be
more important than foreign pressure for political reform,
especially in underdeveloped, authoritarian states. This study of
contemporary Kenya fills a gap in traditional social movement
theory to show how a resistance movement actually starts. Contrary
to long-dominant theory, the book shows how the initiative for such
a movement can come from activists themselves in the face of severe
obstacles in society. With its unique findings on the effects of
individual activism and peaceful resistance, this book will attract
a broad audience in the study and practice of international
relations, comparative politics, sociology, interest groups, peace
and conflict, and human rights.

Interest in the biology of parasitic flowering plants has been
increasing over the past decade, both through it desire to
understand the functional biology of these organisms and because of
the devastating effects they can have on agricultural crops. This
multi-authored book focuses on recent advances in our knowledge of
parasitic plants, synthesising information from a wide range of
sources. The editors have drawn together an extremely impressive
list of international contributors, each an expert in the topics
covered, which include seed germination and host penetration,
molecular biology and evolution, water/mineral/carbon relations of
parasites and their hosts, growth and reproductive ecology, host
plant responses to parasitism, parasitic plants as weeds and their
control. This important new book will be of great value to upper
level undergraduate students and professional ecologists,
agriculturists, plant scientists, plant physiologists, crop
protection personnel, agrochemical companies and any researcher
working with plants.
"Press presents an empirically grounded examination of the ability
and need for local actors and their communities to successfully
acquire and protect land in California. The book is based on new
research, and makes an excellent argument for why people around the
country should care about what is happening in California. It is an
important book on land protection and conservation for Californians
interested in protecting land in their state; those studying land
protection, state and local environmental policy making and
capacity; and land protection professionals across the
nation."--Chris McGrory Klyza, author of "Wilderness Comes Home
""Saving Open Space is an excellent resource for open space
planners. In one short volume, Daniel Press has assembled an
impressive amount of information about how open space is being
preserved in California. This book will help place every open space
battle and every land acquisition in a better statewide
context."--William Fulton, author of "The Reluctant Metropolis and
co-author of "The Regional City: Planning for the End of Sprawl
"Everyone with an interest in development and conservation, in
California and elsewhere in the nation, should read "Saving Open
Space. It meticulously demonstrates the growing political and
institutional capacity of the local conservation movement, and the
very substantial role that private land trusts are playing to
preserve resources that are important to each individual community.
Press also demonstrates that these local initiatives can make a
substantial contribution to the larger ecosystems, resources and
working landscapes so important to California."--Madelyn Glickfeld,
California Resources Agency
