Sommario/riassunto

Learning from agri-environment schemes in Australia is a book about the birds and the beef -- more specifically it is about the billions of dollars that governments pay farmers around the world each year to protect and restore biodiversity. After more than two decades of these schemes in Australia, what have we learnt? Are we getting the most out of these investments, and how should we do things differently in the future? Involving contributions from ecologists, economists, social scientists, restoration practitioners and policymakers, this book provides short, engaging chapters that cover a wide spectrum of environmental, agricultural and social issues involved in agri-environment schemes.

Sommario/riassunto

Robert W. Campbell's informed study of Soviet technological capabilities and efforts to innovate in the energy field provides a basis for understanding Soviet energy problems and forecasting future Soviet energy problems and forecasting future Soviet choices among energy options. Drawing on a large body of Soviet source material—publications of research and development organizations, engineering sources, technical journals, and economic publications—the author, a leading expert in Soviet energy matters, gives us a clear picture of the development of Soviet technologies both for producing energy and for exploiting new sources of fuel.
