Participatory Modelling for Resilient Futures: Action for Managing
Our Environment from the Bottom-Up, Volume One provides an
important contribution to environmental management by introducing
an integrative framework for participatory research for better land
use and natural resource planning, organized around compelling
recent case studies. It is a valuable guide for the increasing
number of students looking for solutions in sustainability science
and also practitioners who are on the ground working with local
communities to improve specific places. The book was developed in
response to the need to provide a clear and synthetic account, in
accessible and non-technical language, of the way in which
innovative integrative research can help solve real world
human-environment interaction problems at a range of levels and
scales, e.g., participatory modelling to secure a sustainable
future for a natural protected area, working with stakeholders to
break the deadlock on renewable energy implementation in Europe or
tackling social exclusion and reducing food carbon footprint
through local agroecology schemes.

"The Kyrgyz Kalpak" is a colorful, short piece on the symbolism of
Kyrgyzstan's nomadic hat aiming at finding the peak of religious
unity and experience. Characters such as Central Asia's Al-Khidr
(Kydyr) and Kyrgyzstan's epic hero Manas are included along with
quotes from the Qur'an, Torah, Bible, and Kyrgyz folklore. The
Kyrgyz Kalpak honors age-old tenants of the Silk Road's many
religions while simultaneously weaving divided factions together.
Bombs and bullets have covered up for mankind's failure.
Charismatic leaders of ages past have led their people into war
