Dr Ben Daley contributes to SAGE's new Handbook of Environmental Change
10 April 2012
Dr. Ben Daley from the Centre for Development Environment and Policy (CeDEP) in SOAS at the University of London, has contributed a chapter on changes in coastal and marine environments and ecosystems to Sage's newly published Handbook of Environmental Change. The Handbook is an extensive survey of the interdisciplinary science of environmental change, including recent debates on climate change and the full range of other natural and anthropogenic changes affecting the Earth-ocean-atmosphere system in the past, present and future. It examines the historic importance, present status and future prospects of the field. With two volumes and more than 40 chapters, the books situate the defining characteristics and key paradigms within a state-of-the-art review of the field, including its changing nature and diversity of approaches, evidence base, key theoretical arguments, resonances with other disciplines and relationships between theory, research and practice. Global in its coverage, scientific and theoretical in its approach, the books bring together an international set of respected editors and contributors to provide an exciting, timely addition to the literature on environmental change. With its interdisciplinary framework, this book will appeal to academics, researchers, postgraduates and practitioners in a variety of disciplines including geography, geology, ecology, environmental science, archaeology, anthropology, politics and sociology.
