\"\"UNDERSTANDING CONFLICTS ABOUT WILDLIFE<\/a>
\nA Biosocial Approach
\nEdited by Catherine M. Hill, Amanda D. Webber and Nancy E. C. Priston<\/p>\n

Volume 9, Studies of the Biosocial Society<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Conflicts about wildlife are usually portrayed and understood as resulting from the negative impacts of wildlife on human livelihoods or property. However, a greater depth of analysis reveals that many instances of human-wildlife conflict are often better understood as people-people conflict, wherein there is a clash of values between different human groups. Understanding Conflicts About Wildlife<\/em> unites academics and practitioners from across the globe to develop a holistic view of these interactions.<\/p>\n

\"\"WOLF CONFLICTS<\/a>
\nA Sociological Study
\nKetil Skogen, Olve Krange, and Helene Figari<\/p>\n

NEW SERIES: <\/strong>Volume 1, Interspecies Encounters<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wolf populations have recently made a comeback in Northern Europe and North America. These large carnivores can cause predictable conflicts by preying on livestock, and competing with hunters for game. But their arrivals often become deeply embedded in more general societal tensions, which arise alongside processes of social change that put considerable pressure on rural communities and on the rural working class in particular. Based on research and case studies conducted in Norway, Wolf Conflicts<\/em> discusses various aspects of this complex picture, including conflicts over land use and conservation, and more general patterns of hegemony and resistance in modern societies.<\/p>\n

CONTEXTUALIZING DISASTER<\/a>
\nEdited by Gregory V. Button and Mark Schuller<\/p>\n

NEW SERIES<\/strong>: Volume 1, Catastrophes in Context<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Contextualizing Disaster<\/em> offers a comparative analysis of six recent \u2018highly visible\u2019 disasters and several slow-burning, \u2018hidden\u2019, crises that include typhoons, tsunamis, earthquakes, chemical spills and the unfolding consequences of rising seas and climate change. The book argues that, while disasters are increasingly represented by the media as unique, exceptional, newsworthy events, it is a mistake to think of disasters as isolated or discrete occurrences. Rather, building on insights developed by political ecologists, this book makes a compelling argument for understanding disasters as transnational and global phenomenon.<\/p>\n

\"\"Nature and Culture<\/a><\/p>\n

Nature and Culture<\/strong>\u00a0is now indexed in Current Contents\/Social and Behavioral Sciences (CC\/S&BS) and the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI)!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Journal Impact Factor:\u00a01.931<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Nature and Culture<\/em> (NC) is a forum for the international community of scholars and practitioners to present, discuss, and evaluate critical issues and themes related to the historical and contemporary relationships that societies, civilizations, empires, regions, nation-states have with Nature. The journal contains a serious interpolation of theory, methodology, criticism, and concrete observation forming the basis of this discussion.<\/p>\n

The mission of the journal is to move beyond specialized disciplinary enclaves and mind-sets toward broader syntheses that encompass time, space and structures in understanding the Nature-Culture relationship. The Journal furthermore provides an outlet for the identification of knowledge gaps in our understanding of this relationship.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"Regions and Cohesion<\/a>
\nRegiones y Cohesi\u00f3n \/ R\u00e9gions et Coh\u00e9sion<\/p>\n

The journal of the Consortium for Comparative Research on Regional Integration and Social Cohesion<\/a> (RISC), a cross-regional, interdisciplinary, and multi-lingual network of socially conscious and prestigious research institutes in Europe, North America, South America, Africa, and Asia. <\/em><\/p>\n

Due to the dramatic changes in global affairs related to regional integration, studies can no longer be limited to the analysis of economic competitiveness and political power in global geopolitics. Regions and Cohesion<\/em> is a needed platform for academics and practitioners alike to disseminate both empirical research and normative analysis of topics related to human and environmental security, social cohesion, and governance. It covers themes, such as the management of strategic resources, environment and society, social risk and marginalization, disasters and policy responses, violence, war and urban security, the quality of democracy, development, public health, immigration, human rights, organized crime, and cross-border human security.<\/p>\n

Interdisciplinary in nature and multi-lingual in character (English, French, Spanish), the journal promotes the comparative examination of the human and environmental impacts of various aspects of regional integration across geographic areas, time periods, and policy arenas.<\/p>\n
