Natural Resources and Environmental Justice
Author: Anna Lukasiewicz
Publisher: CSIRO PUBLISHING
ISBN: 1486306381
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
Environmental management involves making decisions about the governance of natural resources such as water, minerals or land, which are inherently decisions about what is just or fair. Yet, there is little emphasis on justice in environmental management research or practical guidance on how to achieve fairness and equity in environmental governance and public policy. This results in social dilemmas that are significant issues for government, business and community agendas, causing conflict between different community interests. Natural Resources and Environmental Justice provides the first comprehensive, interdisciplinary examination of justice research in Australian environmental management, identifying best practice and current knowledge gaps. With chapters written by experts in environmental and social sciences, law and economics, this book covers topical issues, including coal seam gas, desalination plants, community relations in mining, forestry negotiations, sea-level rise and animal rights. It also proposes a social justice framework and an agenda for future justice research in environmental management. These important environmental issues are covered from an Australian perspective and the book will be of broad use to policy makers, researchers and managers in natural resource management and governance, environmental law, social impact and related fields both in Australia and abroad.

An Amazon Charts bestseller and finalist for the Harper Lee Prize for Legal Fiction. Inside a prestigious law firm, a rookie lawyer is pulled into a dark maze of lies and violence. An ambitious Stanford graduate, David Adams has begun a fast-track career at Austin's most prestigious law firm. It's a personal victory for the rising superstar--a satisfying reversal from his impoverished and despairing childhood. Now he has the life he's always wanted: an extravagant salary, a high-rise condo, a luxury SUV, and no limit to how far he can go in the eyes of the top partners. But after the shocking suicide of a fellow associate--one who, in his final hours, offered David an ominous warning--he feels the pull of powerful forces behind the corporation's enviable trappings. The suicide leads unexpectedly to David's discovery of a secret enclave of the city's homeless, where he can't help but feel an affinity to these outcast souls. Nor can he ignore the feeling that they hold the key to the truth behind a dark conspiracy. When one of his new street friends is murdered, David's clear doubts about his employer start shifting into a dark reality. Now torn between two worlds, David must surrender all that he's achieved to fight for a larger cause of justice--and become his firm's most dangerous acquisition.

Everything she depended on, everything she thought about her life has turned out to be wrong, and now, with no one else to turn to, she closes herself off from the rest of the world. Detective Deluca watches her struggle, unable to help, especially since he suspects Rachel’s mother might be the one who set everything in motion. A small silver key seems to be their only clue to find out who’s stalking her family. When Rachel goes missing Deluca has to watch helplessly as the case is taken away and handed off to the FBI. He can feel the minutes slipping away, every one of them taking Rachel further and further away from him. All Deluca and Chase Hunter, his partner, have left is Rachel’s key.

Adrian can only watch her struggles from the sidelines. He tries to prop her up as much as he can, but the problem of Erik lies heavy between them. They both know it’s only a matter of time before everything comes crashing down, but neither knows what form that last straw will take. As troubles mount, they are so focused on Erik, neither see the bigger danger looming ahead. A threat no one has anticipated, and knows how to stop. Adrian vowed to protect her, but he has no idea just how hard that promise is going to be to keep.
