Reframing Deforestation

Global Analyses and Local Realities: Studies in West Africa

By: James Fairhead,Melissa Leach

This study reviews how West African deforestation is represented and the evidence which informs deforestation orthodoxy. On a country by country basis (covering Sierra Leone, Liberia, Cote D'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo and Benin), and using historical and social anthropological evidence the authors evaluate this orthodox critically. Reframing Deforestation suggests that the scale of deforestation wrought by West African farmers during the twentieth century has been vastly exaggerated. The authors argue that global analyses have unfairly stigmatised West Africa and obscured its more sustainable, even landscape-enriching practices. Stessing that dominant policy approaches in forestry and conservation require major rethinking worldwide, Reframing Deforestation illustrates that more realistic assessments of forest cover change, and more respectful attention to local knowledge and practices, are necessary bases for effective and appropriate environmental policies.

Mempire Born in Blood

By: James Hendershot

The planters from long ago planted people on planets throughout the universes. This story explodes on the planet Lamenta as it develops. Things go wrong, as a string of evil queens push the power of women too far, stripping everything from the useless males they keep only for procreation, and harvesting their needed prey. This evil had to be stopped. Out of this evil empire did come one of their future royal whites to organize and build armies from the savages that the Hersonian Empire were harvesting. The planet then became a sponge holding rivers of blood. After the ashes started to settle, the evil queen emerges out of the unknown to destroy the queen of love and great purity. This sends the king on a giant exploration adventure covering the planet. On this trip, he finds a new love and gives Mempire a new queen. Evil refuses to give up on Lamenta as the future queen of evil; Lilith, almost makes all life on Lamenta extinct. Space dog gives King James the ability to fight this evil and with time, life begins to reproduce again. Yet during his travels, Lilith captures his seed to create his child to have as a tool to cripple Mempire. The spirits of the heavens intervene as they allow Mempire's dead queen to reach her hand out and save this child, hiding her spirit in a new child. Mempire continues to provide its citizens an environment to build their new families. Yet, dangers continue as their queen from the grave warns as Mempire continues to battle evil. King James and his royal whites lay a solid foundation for an empire that would grow into one of the greatest in the Milky Way as many of the stars in your sky belong to this great power of good.

Climate Change and Vulnerability and Adaptation

Two Volume Set

By: Neil Leary

Sound and solid case studies on vulnerability and adaptation have been woefully lacking in the international discourse on climate change. This set of books begins to bridge the gap.' Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary General and Executive Director of United Nations Environment Programme 'Important reading for students and practitioners alike.' Martin Parry, Co-Chair, Working Group II (Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability), Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 'Fills an important gap in our understanding ... It is policy-relevant and deserves to be widely read.' Richard Klein, Senior Research Fellow, Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI), Sweden The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded in its 2001 report that much of the developing world is highly vulnerable to adverse impacts from climate change. But the IPCC also concluded that the vulnerabilities of developing countries are too little studied and too poorly understood to enable determination of adaptation strategies that would be effective at reducing risks. These authoritative volumes, resulting from the work of the Assessments of Impacts and Adaptations to Climate Change (AIACC) project launched by the IPCC in 2002, are the first to provide a comprehensive investigation of the issues at stake. Climate Change and Vulnerability discusses who is vulnerable to climate change, the nature of their vulnerability and the causes of their vulnerability for parts of the world that have been poorly researched until now. Climate Change and Adaptation covers current practices for managing climate risks to food security, water resources, livelihoods, human health and infrastructure, needs for effective management of climate risks, the changing nature of the risks, strategies for adaptation, and the need to integrate these strategies into development planning and resource management.
