MORE TEXT POSSIBILITIES
The past two issues listed a number of books that could be used as texts in courses on international environmental politics and policy. Here are a few more that have come to the attention of the editor.
Tony Brenton, The Greening of Machiavelli: the Evolution of International Environmental Politics. Royal Institute of Inter- national Affairs, 1994, 282p., $24.95 paper. (Distributed in North America by the Brookings Institution, 1775 Massachusetts Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20036-2188).
This Earthscan book is a good general overview of the history of international environmental negotiations and regulations, with particular emphasis on the Stockholm Conference of 1972 and the Earth Summit twenty years later. Considerable coverage is given to developments and preparations that led up to these two land- mark events, as well as to the domestic and international out- comes of the first one. Climate change and biodiversity are the only two issues that receive separate chapter-length treatments. (undergraduate)
Shridath Ramphal, Our Country, the Planet: Forging a Partnership for Survival. Island Press, 1992, 291p., $15 paper.
This is a very readable book by a former foreign minister from Guyana who served on all five of the independent commissions of the United Nations, including the Commission on Environment and Development chaired by Prime Minister Brundtland of Norway.

distinguishes the contrasting contributions to these problems of the “profligate rich” and “powerless poor” in what he describes as “feudal.” It is a good book for introducing students to the perspective of developing countries on the global environment (undergraduate).
Neil Middleton, Phil O’Keefe, and Sam Moyo, Tears of the Crocodile: From Rio to Reality in the Developing World. Pluto Press, 1993, 228 p., $19.95 paper.
This book examines the relationship between environmental problems and the economic travails of the developing countries, as they were raised by the Brundtland Commission and addressed at the Earth Summit. Chapters address environmental problems in the realms of climate and energy, biodiversity and biotechnology, forests, agriculture, water, and waste. Other chapters focus on economic problems, such as trade, aid, and debt, as well as the role of women. The book is overtly partial to the perspective of the Third World and highly critical of the North for pursuing its self-interest at the expense of the health of the natural world and the people of the “developing world.” (undergraduate)
Lawrence E. Susskind, Environmental Diplomacy: Negotiating More Effective Global Agreements. Oxford University Press, 1994, 201p., $14.95 paper.
This book explores strategies for enhancing the effectiveness of negotiations on treaty responses to international environmental problems. It examines existing processes and suggests a number of inadequacies in strategies such as the convention-protocol approach. Separate chapters focus on representation and voting, the relationship between science and politics, issue linkage, monitoring and enforcement, and how the system can be reformed building upon the work of the Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School and the International Environmental Negotiation Network, including the Saltzburg Initiative. (undergraduate or graduate).
Edith Brown Weiss, ed. Environmental Change and International Law: New Challenges and Dimensions. United Nations University Press, 1992, 494 p, $40 paper. (Distributed in the USA through UNIPUB, 4611-F Assembly Drive, Lanham, MD, 20706)
This book contains a stimulating collection of articles by authors from ten countries with extensive experience as prac- titioners and scholars, which collectively are a significant con- tribution to the literature on international environmental law. The common theme is that human-induced global environmental changes are triggering fundamental adjustments in the paradigm of international environmental

Harold Brookfield and Yvonne Byron, eds., South-East Asia’s Future: The Search for Sustainability. Tokyo: United Nations University Press, 1993, 422p., $40 cloth. (Distributed in the USA through UNIPUB, 4611-F Assembly Drive, Lanham, MD, 20706)
This book contains sixteen articles commissioned for interna- tional conference on sustainable futures in the South-East Asia, which was held in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It was one of several regional conferences sponsored by United Nations University on the subject of sustainability.

Robert U. Ayres and Udo E. Simonis, Industrial Metabolism: Restructuring for Sustainable Development. Tokyo: United Nations University Press, 1994, 373p., $35 paper. (Distributed in the USA through UNIPUB, 4611-F Assembly Drive, Lanham, MD, 20706)
This book contains 14 essays on the topic of “industrial metabolism,” a concept that has been integral to the Human Dimen- sions of Global Environmental Change Programme. The concept industrial metabolism is used to describe all the
physical processes that convert raw materials and energy into finished products. Chapters of the book develop the concept in depth and explore its applicability to both industrialized and developing countries. There is a series of case studies on specific problems related to industrial metabolism in Sweden, the Rhine basin, Switzerland, and the United States. Two other essays relate the concept to the precautionary principle and technology transfer.

HUMAN DIMENSIONS
COMMUNITY
FIRST OPEN MEETING OF THE HUMAN DIMENSIONS OF GLOBAL ENVIRON- MENTAL CHANGE COMMUNITY
Duke University, Durham NC, USA
June 1-3, 1995
WITH SPECIAL PLENARY SESSIONS
International Institutions and Global Environmental Change Scientific Analysis, Perceptions, and Decision-Making Property Rights and Global Environmental Change Industrial Restructuring and Sustainable Development Land Use/Cover Modeling and Analysis Human Migration and Global Environmental Change
The first open meeting of the human dimensions community will be held at Duke University, Durham NC USA on Thursday-Saturday June 1-3, 1995. This meeting is sponsored by the Social Science Research Council and its Committee for Research on Global Environmental Change; the Human Dimensions Programme of the International Social Science Council; the Consortium for Interna- tional Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN); and the Duke University School of the Environment.
The purpose of the meeting is to bring together the growing human dimensions community to promote exchanges of information on cur- rent research, teaching and outreach, to encourage networking in this new field, and to attract social scientists, humanists and others not previously involved in human dimensions work. There will be special plenary sessions on leading issues in the human dimensions of global environmental change including: interna- tional institutions and global environmental change; scientific analysis, perceptions, and decision-making; property rights and global environmental change; industrial restructuring and sustainable development; land use/cover modelling and analysis; and human migration and global environmental change.
The meeting will include additional round-table discussions on human dimensions research and teaching, and modelling and publications displays. Those wishing to organize multi-paper ses- sions for the conference on the plenary topics or other topics at local, regional and global scales are urged to communicate with the organizers; final proposals for such sessions are due by December 1, 1994.
