Moderator’s Message
Through the online micro-reviews site Anthem EnviroExperts Review, Anthem Press seeks to build a community of practice committed to creating a clearer and deeper understanding of how ecological systems – at every level – operate and have been damaged by unsustainable development. We seek to involve natural scientists, social scientists, policy analysts, planning practitioners, activists and literary scholars in this community of practice.
In this issue of Anthem EnviroExperts Review we present three micro-reviews. The first examines A Better Planet: 40 Big Ideas for a Sustainable Future, edited by Daniel C. Esty. This book discusses systems thinking, democracy and inclusion, innovation and creativity. Our second review considers an Anthem Press volume: Complexity of Transboundary Conflicts: Enabling Conditions for Negotiating Contingent Resolutions, edited by Enamul Choudhury and Shafiqul Islam. This book advances the understanding of the complexity of water disputes to be able to sustainably manage dwindling water resources. The final micro-review covers Conflict and Sustainability in a Changing Environment: Through the Eyes of Communities, by Gwendolyn Smith and Elena P. Bastidas. This Anthem Press book covers theory and practice, presenting alternative conflict resolution frameworks and comparing how sustainable development is viewed by the community and development organizations.
