This open access book brings together 16 specially commissioned
chapters drawn from a range of different professional-practitioner
and academic global perspectives on the importance of the
relationship between people and green and blue spaces. It focuses
on issues surrounding the importance of natural environments on
public health and wellbeing, and the environmental, cultural, and
social importance of green and blue spaces that can result through
responsible and sustainable adaptive management processes. It
explores how the Covid-19 pandemic forced reconsiderations of our
relationship with these natural spaces and highlights the important
impact of the pace of climate change. While not pretending to have
the answers, the stimulating and imaginative contributions embrace
rich perspectives drawn from backgrounds as diverse as heritage
studies, tourism, conservation, geography, policy formulation,
public health, environmental health, research methods, history,
literature, art, and theology.Â
THE EXPLOSIVE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
With all-new excerpts from Richard Clarke's dramatic public
testimony, and revealing corroboration from The 9/11 Commission
Report
From the 9/11 Commission Report:
"On the day of the meeting September 4, 2001], Clarke sent Rice an
impassioned personal note. He criticized U.S. counterterrorism
efforts past and present. The 'real question' before the
principals, he wrote, was 'are we serious about dealing with the al
Qida threat?...Is al Qida a big deal?..."Decision makers should
imagine themselves on a future day when the CSG has not succeeded
in stopping al Qida attacks and hundreds of Americans lay dead in
several countries, including the US, '" Clarke wrote. 'What would
those decision makers wish that they had done earlier? That future
day could happen at any time.'"
