This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This series is dedicated to serving the growing community of scholars and practitioners concerned with the principles and applications of environ mental management. Each volume is a thorough treatment of a specific topic of importance for proper management practices. A fundamental ob jective of these books is to help the reader discern and implement man's stewardship of our environment and the world's renewable resources. For we must strive to understand the relationship between man and nature, act to bring harmony to it, and nurture an environment that is both stable and productive. These objectives have often eluded us because the pursuit of other in dividual and societal goals has diverted us from a course of living in balance with the environment. At times, therefore, the environmental manager may have to exert restrictive control, which is usually best applied to man, not nature. Attempts to alter or harness nature have often failed or backfired, as exemplified by the results of imprudent use of herbicides, fertilizers, water, and other agents. Each book in this series will shed light on the fundamental and applied aspects of environmental management. It is hoped that each will help solve a practical and serious environmental problem. Robert S. DeSanto East Lyme, Connecticut Acknowledgments Compilation of the materials reviewed in this inventory was facilitated greatly by several staff members of the Disaster Research Center, University of Delaware (formerly at The Ohio State University) and the Natural Haz ards Research and Applications Information Center, University of Colorado.

Organized into seven parts encompassing 30 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the security programs of the National Park Service. This text then examines the quality of security personnel and its proper training, as well as its most efficient utilization and allocation. Other chapters consider the standard instruction in how to implement new security procedures by staff members. This book discusses as well the significance of good security for the protection of fine arts of any nature. The final chapter deals with global concern on the prevention, protection, import, or export of cultural property. This book is a valuable resource for security directors, archivists, curators, maintenance personnel, historic preservation specialists, and librarians.

This book was released on 1985 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current study was partly viewed as an examination of what changes, if any, have occurred in local emergency management agencies (LEMAs) since the Disaster Research Center (DRC) systematically studied such groups about 15 years ago. Current data was drawn from field studies of how sixteen LEMAs acted in emergency (almost all disaster-like) situations. When compared with what was observed in an earlier study the present-day research found that: (1) there is still considerable variation in the overall structure and functioning of LEMAs in American communities; (2) the organizational changes which have occurred are most noticeable in preparedness and planning activities; and, (3) there has been relatively little change in the response patterns of LEMAs in actual threats or disasters--most of the same issues and problems appear at the present time as existed in the past. The continuity in variety of LEMAs seems partly accounted for by the localism of American institutions. The clearly obvious changes in the planning and preparedness stance of LEMAs perhaps stimulated by national efforts in that direction, have nonetheless not produced corresponding qualitative improvements. The frequent failure of the preparedness to translate into better response can also be attributed to a variety of historical, experiential, contingent, situational, structural and other factors which create a problem plagued disaster setting for LEMAs. Some implications of these observations and impressions are noted, and recommendations are made as to a series of questions which ought to be specifically addressed in any future work on LEMAs.
