A Planet For Life 2011
| Oceans: The new frontier | | Armand Colin, 2011. 360 p. 25 Euros |
Oceans: The New Frontier explores how human community insistently pushes the oceans’ limits, seeking to exploit all of their varied resources – minerals, fisheries, fuels and genetic material. The ocean frontier is constantly being redefined by new discoveries, technologies, national strategies, and ecological imperatives. Increasing dependence of humanity on the resources of the oceans has blurred the boundaries between the mainland and oceans.
Oceans: The New Frontier is part of a series of annual publications on sustainable development (A Planet for Life) prepared under the scientific leadership of leading figures in the field of sustainable development: Pierre Jacquet, Executive Director (Strategy) and Chief Economist of AFD (French Development Agency), Rajendra K. Pachauri, Chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and Director General of The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), and Laurence Tubiana, Director of IDDRI. The book is published by TERI Press in its English version.
As the French version of Oceans: The New Frontier is being released, its French publisher Armand Colin, AFD and IDDRI organise on April 7 an exceptional conference on "Oceans: The new frontier". >> Find out more
