    • Property Rights and the Environment

      Social and Ecological Issues

      This book and its companion volume, "Property Rights in a Social and Ecological Case Studies and Design Applications," concern the institutional dimensions of environmental sustainability. Humans interact with their environment through systems of property rights that are embedded in social, political, cultural, and economic context. The outcome of that interaction affects both the quantity and quality of environmental resouraces. It is becoming increasingly clear that although national and international economic policies have often ignored the environment, economic development ultimately depends on institutions that can protect and maintain the environment's carrying capacity and resilience. The knowledge of how property rights regimes, as particularly important types of institutions, function in relation to humans and their use of the environment is critical to the design and implementation of effective environmental protection. This volume presents the theoretical and conceptual background of five general issues of property rights and the the design of governance systems for sustainability; the relationships among equity, stewardship, and environmental resilience; the use of traditional knowledge in resource management; the mechanisms that link humans to their environments; and the role played by poverty and population.

    • Health care is important for all children and young people, and for their parents or carers. But children frequently enter the care system with a worse level of health than others, in part due to the impact of early abuse or neglect. Foster carers have a vital role to play in supporting the health of the children in their care. But how best can they do this? This handbook will support foster carers to navigate through the health service, to ensure that children's needs are met, and to be a role model for their health choices.

      In this sequel to When Eagles Call , Hawaiian Kimo Kanui is working out the terms of his Hudson’s Bay contract in 1858 as the Fraser Gold rush begins. As the Fraser gold dries up, the Cariboo Gold Rush takes over and Kimo decides to head north to try and get his share of the wealth. With his wife recently dead and his contract coming to an end, Kimo is torn between returning to Hawaii with his daughter, and staying in the Pacific Northwest. Either way, he wants to own land, and he needs gold to buy it. Joining up with his Hawaiian friend Moku and a black man, Ezekiel, Kimo travels north in search of gold. Along the way a native woman, Morning Bird, joins the group after Kimo saves her from slavery, and her presence causes more emotional upheaval for Kimo. Once in the Cariboo the group faces harsh cruel winter and wild geography, fights with miners and attack by natives, disputes with neighbours, and arson. Kimo must decide if his future lies under the warmth and security of the Hawaiian sun, or in being part of the new society now taking root in the colony.
