This revised and updated guide to the environmental economics of
development projects demonstrates how the environmental impacts of
projects can be translated into monetary values. The theoretical
bases are examined, and the techniques themselves given detailed
exposition, supported by extensive case studies illustrating a wide
range of applications. The text should become a useful complement
to all standard forms of project analysis.

The identity of Robin Hood has been questioned many times since the
Outlaw of Sherwood first sprang to fame in the twelfth century. No
two authorities seem able to agree as to his origins, antecedents,
or even whether or not he was a historical personage or a mythical
figure. Historians, both amateur and professional, have for years
been bringing out new books in which they claim to have found 'the
real Robin Hood', but his identity remains clouded. More recent
studies have sought to push the boundaries of the story further out
into recorded time - seeking Robin Hood among the records of
government and law enforcement, in the ballads of the twelfth to
fourteenth centuries, and in the folk memory of the people of
Britain. For them, Robin is a product of the ballad-maker's muse,
or a literary fabrication based on the lives and deeds of several
outlaws or the garbled memory of an actual person whose real life
bore little or no resemblance to the romanticised songs of the
ballad-makers. This is the only contemporary book to fully explore
the mythology of Robin Hood rather than concentrating on the human
identity of the famous outlaw. It ties Robin to the ancient
archetype of the Green Man, the lore and legends of the Faery race,
to the possible Eastern influence of the English Mummers' plays,
and suggests the real identities of several of the Merry Men.

Carpenter takes us on a heart-wrenching journey through one man's
nightmare of child abuse, an abuse that continues into his
adulthood and nearly drives him to suicide. My Safe Haven will
leave you emotionally spent as you experience: Sadness for a little
boy named Rick who's only crime was being born. Anger toward the
mother who brutalizes him. Horror at her methods of abuse. And
ultimately, inspiration and encouragement for the man who grows to
finally realize that he's not the monster.
