Climate and Energy Governance for the UK Low Carbon Transition: The Climate Change Act 2008

Buy
The UK Climate Change Act was the first case of a country implementing blanket legally binding long-term emissions reduction targets in order to combat climate change. This book provides the first accessible and in-depth analysis of the UK’s complex Climate Change Act framework, presenting the discussion in a clear and interdisciplinary manner designed to open the workings of the challenging framework to a broad audience. 

It discusses the political ‘story’ surrounding the framework, and its treatment in scholarly environmental literature; analyses the technical content of the Act; explores the framework’s international significance, and its internal ‘subnational’ dimensions and impact, engaging the UK’s devolved jurisdictions of Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. This first, much-needed interdisciplinary treatment of the framework is both introductory and analytical in nature and will be of interest to scholars, practitioners and general readers of environmental studies, policy and governance.

MySQL and Perl for the Web

When I wrote MySQL for New Riders a year and a half ago, I wondered whether it would receive much of a response, because it wasn’t apparent whether the MySQL community was very sizable. I should have known better! MySQL is a very good database, it’s easy to use, it’s fast, and it’s free—all characteristics...
