A somewhat technical volume on climate change and proposed adaptations for Asian and Pacific nations at risk. This is more a gloss than the nitty-gritty, describing proposed infrastructure rather than specific, concrete steps and practices. A good initial overview of the problem and its potential consequences for least-developed nations.
An interesting monograph on the social downside of road construction. On the one hand, roads bring commerce, opportunities, and health care. On the other, they bring prostitution and facilitate human trafficking, as well as increasing the risk of sexually transmitted infection. This well-written and even-handed document describes these risks, makes suggestions, and raises the question of who bears the responsibility for safety, security, and education when infrastructure is developed.
