30 Ecology & Environment New Weathering the Climate Crisis The Way of Ecological Agriculture Climate crisis has become the scourge of the past several decades, threatening our lives and livelihoods in the most devastating ways. And its most serious impacts are being felt on the food and agriculture and food security of the world and on its majority practitioners – the small food producers, fishers and herders and, particularly the indigenous peoples and the women. But this climate change is no longer the natural phenomenon that it once used to be. In fact, today most of the otherwise called ‘natural disasters’ like floods, typhoons, hurricanes, drought and famine are found to be consequences of the climate change and global warming. This climate change – more rapid, more uncertain, more recurrent with more wide-ranging impacts and more catastrophic – is almost entirely man-made. Yet at the global level, governments and international agencies continue to evade addressing its deep rooted causes. On the contrary, the international discourse on climate change converted an essentially justice issue into one of trading options and opportunities.

Appropriating increasing proportions of nature’s resources to meet our shifting and growing demands, we have been degrading the quality and extent of ecosystems, perilously undermining their capacities to meet the needs of a burgeoning population. Common Ground explores this shifting relationship, examining the changing understandings of the natural world and its management and exploitation. Environmental activist Mark Everard presents solutions from the perspective of ecosystem services and looks ahead to what is required to live sustainably, respecting the central role of landscapes in supporting human well-being into the long-term future.

But information overload means that attention spans are getting shorter. Journalism content, globally and within countries, is still preoccupied with what is important for the rich and the powerful. This second edition of Dateline Earth: Journalism as if the Planet Mattered, first published in 1997, looks at how to cover stories on environment and development, on poverty and injustice, with professionalism, depth and authority. Nepali journalist Kunda Dixit has devoted his career to gaining space for alternative issues in the mainstream press. Drawing from three decades of experience, he explores and analyses the links between environment and development, between the ecology and the economy.

Rola All over Southeast Asia, rural communities are in transition to a sustainable status. This book explores how an environmentally fragile upland community in rural Philippines coped with and responded to economic and environmental tensions brought about by a globalized economy and decentralization. This in turn gave rise to local power especially in the management of natural resources. Time-series farm and household-level data of the study community characterized upland development in the Philippines during the turn of the 21st century. Farmer stories on how land-use decisions were affected were by economic policies and environmental stresses were told and documented. As the tension between the economy and the environment exhibit both predicted and unforeseen changes, this book suggests institutional innovations, promoting a greater understanding of sustainable rural development in the developing world.

Ms Dina very clearly demonstrates that there are many different shades and types of Malaysian Muslims, and helps to break the bounds of such binary thinking – (I Am Muslim review by) Imran Andrew Price, Book Review, The Straits Times, Singapore.
