• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Balance on Nature's Commons is a 'must read' for anyone aspiring to be an environmental activist, anyone concerned about anthropogenic altercation of environmental balance, and anyone involved in decision-making relevant to those issues.The narrative is written in an easy-to-follow non-academic style that calls the cards as the author sees them. It is intended to be thought-provoking and is well studded with 'curved balls'.The author clearly explains the concept of 'Natural Commons' and their importance for maintaining the integrity of the 'Web of Life', which coincidently includes humanity.Unlike much that is written about environmental priorities, the text also includes a substantive section suggesting how the priorities might be addressed. Have we the will?The multi-disciplinary approach may bemuse the specialist, but it provides material that everyone can empathise with.

Autorenporträt

Keith's unusual professional career started in 1962 when he began as an agricultural research officer for the Victorian government. He moved to Melville Island to introduce the skills associated with commercial forestry production to the islanders. In 1968 that changed to rural land use management in West New Britain (PNG). He then returned to Melbourne in 1972, as a town planner. There he added a master's degree in env. sci. to his qualifications and in 1978 returned to the Northern Territory as the Power and Water Authority's Environmental manager. He retired in 2003 from Charles Darwin University as Director, Renewable Energy R&D. Keith travelled the world as Australia's representative on the IEA's photovoltaic subcommittee, and throughout SE Asia, as the Australian Cooperative Research Centre for renewable energy's representative.
