Making Urban Transport Sustainable addresses the future of urban transport as a global issue. Money is being poured into roads, railways, and airports at a time when the global atmosphere is threatened and oil production has reached its peak. If the world's environment and societies are to be sustained, urban transport has to change. Contributions by experts from the developed and developing worlds discuss the severity of the problem and suggest potential solutions.
Governing for the Environment explores one of the dimensions of the value-knowledge system needed in any movement towards humane governance for the planet: the ecological sustainability and integrity of the Earth's environment. The book begins from the premise that while environmental knowledge and values have developed rapidly, their development must not overwhelm consideration of other core 'humane' values: peace, social justice, and human rights. The book's contributors explore a variety of ethical issues that must inform future global regulation of the Earth's environment.

the two years following the 2008 Turmoil. The Author says that his
Answer to the Turmoil may not be totally acceptable, but is worth
thinking about, amending or not, even rejecting. It is nobler, he
