Dear colleagues, As a highlight of coming attractions, Editor-in-Chief, Tony Rosenbaum, and I wanted to announce that the latest issue of the Journal of Environmental Studies and Sciences (6:3)<http://link.springer.com/journal/13412/6/3/page/1> is now published and available for AESS members and anyone with a Springer Link subscription.
You might be particularly interested in Paul Harris and John Barkdull's assessment of climate adaptation research. They admit several advances here but warn that "types of environmental studies that are necessary to foster effective policies for adaptation must be much more mindful of the quite high potential for dangerous, potentially catastrophic, climate change." Consequently, "Transformational, even radical, theories and approaches may be essential to understanding and preparing for a future that is greatly affected by climate change." Further, Martha Richmond has organized a mini-symposium on chemicals regulation with studies on the, "consider the limitations, controversies, and opportunities inherent in the present US policies regulating synthetic chemicals" with not only insight into regulation but pedagogy. As well, Priya Kurian and Debashish Munshi organized a symposium on public engagement with new and emerging technologies. The articles in this symposium critique the superficial use of public engagement in decision-making, while "public policies too often continue to neglect core questions about issues around responsibility, accountability, and transparency in decision-making processes around new and emerging technologies." This is only a sample of the 24 articles in this issue, which can be found here<http://link.springer.com/journal/13412/6/3/page/1>. Peter PETER J. JACQUES, PH.D.
