Dear colleagues, I hope you’re enjoying a restful summer break. In case you’re already thinking about next year’s teaching, you may want to consider the new Handbook of Global Climate and Environment Policy, which was published by Wiley-Blackwell a couple of months ago (apologies for the self promotion).
The volume brings together state-of-the-art reviews of recent research from ca 30 leading scholars, including many from the GEP-ED community. A full list of contributions is included below, further details can be found here: http://eu.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-0470673249.html The Handbook is available in hardback (paperback to follow) and also in electronic form, which is useful if you want to include some individual chapters in electronic reading lists. In fact, there are two electronic platforms for the volume: · Wiley Online Library delivers individual chapters from books just like journal articles, and they are also searchable online through Google or other search engines. If your institution has a subscription for Wiley Online Library, then you can include any chapter in the Handbook in your electronic reading list of syllabus. You can find the volume here: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/book/10.1002/9781118326213 · Blackwell Reference Online is the other electronic platform. It brings together Wileys Companions and Handbooks and allows institutions to take out subscriptions to specific annual collections or the complete collection. Again, this would allow you to use individual chapters in electronic form.

Expertly edited, it surveys the latest academic theories as well as provides groundbreaking research on the organizations, actors, and processes shaping global environmental politics."—Peter Dauvergne, University of British Columbia "The Handbook of Global Climate and Environment Policy brings together many of the world’s leading scholars in to provide 28 authoritative yet accessible reviews of the state of the art in the field. A superbly edited volume that will become a crucial resource for students, policy practitioners and scholars alike."—Frank Biermann, VU University Amsterdam and Lund University "There are three good reasons why this Handbook should be the first port of call for anyone interested in global climate and environment policy. First, it is a written by a stellar cast of researchers at the top of their game. Second, it is coherently structured to enable a quick and easy navigation of the contributions. Third, it is thoroughly comprehensive in going well beyond a purely state-centric focus to include a rich variety of new policy initiatives by non-state actors. It also explores the intricate connections between global climate and environment policy and international political economy. This Handbook will provide not only the student but also the experienced scholar and practitioner with a definitive and commanding view."—Robyn Eckersley, University of Melbourne Please access the attached hyperlink for an important electronic communications disclaimer: http://lse.ac.uk/emailDisclaimer -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "gep-ed" group.
