This book aims to help close the gap between science and practice. Based on a two year collaborative project between Harvard and Clark Universities, the book takes as its focus the vulnerability and resilience of people around the world to the effects of environmental change, a mature area of research in which one might expect the gap between science and policy/practice to have been extensively br 410 0$aScience in society series. 606 $aEnvironmental policy 606 $aEnvironmental sciences 606 $aGlobal environmental change 615 0$aEnvironmental policy. 615 0$aEnvironmental sciences. 615 0$aGlobal environmental change. 676 $a333.72 701 $aBerberian$b Mimi$01668141 701 $aKasperson$b Roger E$0249978 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808341803321 996 $aIntegrating science and policy$94028534 997 $aUNINA
