This book was released on 1978 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Eleven potential British Columbian and Washington State oil ports with accompanying route alternatives were compared on a relative ranking basis in terms of possible environmental risk from marine oil spills. Initially, a rating system of navigational risk, biological, economic and social factors was developed to derive a BIOLOGICAL RISK INDEX, and ECONOMIC RISK INDEX and a SOCIAL RISK INDEX. These indices were compared port/route to port/route by several ranking methods to determine the relatively "least risky" or "most risky" port/route alternatives. Consideration was given also to preventive, cleanup and compensatory measures relevant to oil spills. (Au)"--ASTIS [online] bibliography.

Download or read book Unbuilt Environments written by Jonathan Peyton and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2017-01-27 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the latter half of the twentieth century, legions of industrial pioneers came to northwestern British Columbia with grand plans for mines, dams, and energy-development schemes. Yet many of their projects failed to materialize or were abandoned midstream. Unbuilt Environments reveals that these lapsed resource projects had lasting effects on the natural and human environment. Drawing on a range of case studies to analyze the social and environmental impacts of unfinished projects, Jonathan Peyton considers development failure a productive concept for northwestern Canada. He looks at a closed asbestos mine, an abandoned rail grade, an imagined series of hydroelectric installations, a failed LNG export facility, and a transmission line – and finds that these unrealized developments continue to shape contemporary resource conflicts.

Download or read book The Other Macdonald Report written by Daniel Drache and published by James Lorimer & Company. This book was released on 1985-01-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1982 the Macdonald Commission began its $20-million mission to find a consensus on Canada's future. The commission held hearings in 28 towns and cities, met with 700 concerned parties and assembled nearly 40,000 pages of testimony. In his Report, Commission chair Donald S. Macdonald announced Canada must make a "leap of faith" and embrace free trade with the U.S., apparently signalling the victory of a globalizing, corporate vision of the country's development. The Other Macdonald Report reopens the debate, presenting twenty key submissions to the Commission by organizations such as the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, the United Auto Workers, the National Action Committee on the Status of Women, the Canadian Mental Health Association and the National Farmers Union. Together these groups offer a vision of Canada where human needs take priority over capital and technology. The Other Macdonald Report offers alternatives to the corporate vision for Canada's future, alternatives forged during the vibrant free trade debates of the mid-1980s.
Download or read book Making and Moving Knowledge written by John Sutton Lutz and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2008 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has long been acknowledged that research does not directly translate into knowledge nor does knowledge necessarily, or even often, translate into wisdom. Whether the immediate challenge is global warming, epidemic disease, poverty, environmental degradation, or social fragmentation, our research efforts are all wasted if we cannot devise processes to create and transfer knowledge to policy makers, interested groups and ordinary people in a manner that is efficient and understandable. How we maximize the impact of the research that scholars do and how to combine that with knowledge already extant in "lay" or "local" communities, are key issues in a world with scarce research resources and numerous social and scientific conflicts.Making and Moving Knowledge focuses directly on how knowledge is created, transferred and used and perhaps most important, how it is blocked and atrophies. It treats knowledge generated by universities and governments alongside "traditional" and practical knowledge generated in coastal aboriginal and non-aboriginal communities and looks at how the different kinds flow in different directions. The chapters are theoretical, methodological, and applied as the authors model their commitment to knowledge transfer in their work with community, academics and policy makers.
