Intimate Relationships
Intimate Relationships, 3rd editon, by Sharon S. Brehm, Rowland S. Miller, Daniel Perlman, and Susan Campbell preserves the personal appeal of the subject matter and vigorous standards of scholarship that made the earlier editions so successful. Written in a unified voice, this text builds on the reader-friendly tone that was established in the first two editions. It presents the key findings on intimate relationships, the major theoretical perspectives, and some of the current controversies in the field. Brehm, Miller, Perlman, and Campbell illustrate the relevance of close relationship science to readers' everyday lives, encouraging thought and analysis. Classic contributions to the field are covered in addition to topics on the leading edge of research..

Frontiers in Resource and Rural Economics: Human-Nature, Rural-Urban Interdependencies (Rff Press) (Rff Press)
Most land in the United States is in rural areas, as are the sources of most of its fresh water and almost all its other natural resources. One of the first books to approach resource economics and rural studies as interconnected areas of study, Frontiers in Resource and Rural Economics integrates the work of 18 leading scholars to focus on two complex interdependencies -- one pertaining to natural resources and human welfare, the other to urban and rural communities and their economies. The book contrasts the different approaches of resource and rural economics and considers how they might be refocused in light of pressing demands on human and natural systems. It then proposes a "new rural economics" that acknowledges the full range of human-ecosystem and urban-rural interdependencies. It explores the relationship between natural resources and economic growth and considers the prospects for an amenity-driven growth that would benefit both new and traditional inhabitants of rural areas. Later chapters explore the politics of place spatial economics, and prospects for linking rural and environmental governance. .

Critical Infrastructure: Understanding Its Component Parts, Vulnerabilities, Operating Risks, and Interdependencies
Critical Infrastructure (CI) is a little understood topic, which seems to generate more fear than rational discussion. CIâs are considered fundamental to the functioning of modern economies. Moving beyond definitions, this volume looks at the âiron triangleâ within CI: power, telecom, and finance. It introduces the concept of CIâs as industrial and enterprise ârisk conductors,â highlighting the fact that a CI failure can propagate an impact throughout an enterprise. This text rethinks the concept of a CI according to contemporary factors, providing guidance for mitigating risk within the framework of national economies..

Space and Time Scale Variability and Interdependencies in Hydrological Processes (International Hydrology Series)
The atmospheric, hydrologic, and terrestrial components of the earth's systems operate on different time and space scales. Resolving these scaling incongruities as well as understanding and modeling the complex interaction of land surface processes at the different scales represents a major challenge for hydrologists, ecologists and meteorologists alike. This book presents the contributions of hydrologists, meteorologists, and ecologists to the first IHP/IAHS George Kovacs Colloqium on global hydrology and climate change. It deals with time and space scale variations with reference to several topics including soil water balance, ecosystems and interaction of flow systems, and macroscale hydrologic modeling. This book will be of great use to researchers, engineers and forecasters with an interest in space and time scale variability..

Urban-Suburban Interdependencies
This volume captures work by policy analysts and researchers in urban and regional planning, political science, economics and related fields. By looking at issues such as economic interdependencies, global competitiveness and intergovernmental relationships, the book is an attempt to understand how cities and their suburbs are dependent on each other and to point to possible avenues for the construction of effective regional policies. The papers were presented originally at a September 1998 conference cosponsored by the University of Illinois at Chicago, the Lincoln Institute and the Brookings Institution Center on Urban and Metropolitan Policy..
