Myanmar Opens to the West to Offset Chinese Pressure (World Politics Review Briefings) by Roberto TofaniWorld Politics ReviewAuthorities in Myanmar have made a series of moves that some have interpreted as a new course under the government of President Thein Sein, including the suspension of a Chinese-sponsored dam project and a massive prisoner amnesty. Yet, with these moves, the government seems to be searching more for ways to ease China’s political and economic influence than for avenues of democratic reform.

Dejidas; Thomas M. DestreeGraphic Arts Technical FndtnHarnessing Farms and Forests in the Low-Carbon Economy: How to Create, Measure, and Verify Greenhouse Gas Offsets Duke University Press BooksAs the United States moves to a low-carbon economy in order to combat global warming, credits for reducing carbon dioxide emissions will increasingly become a commodity that is bought and sold on the open market. Farmers and other landowners can benefit from this new economy by conducting land management practices that help sequester carbon dioxide, creating credits they can sell to industry to “offset” industrial emissions of greenhouse gases. This guide is the first comprehensive technical publication providing direction to landowners for sequestering carbon and information for traders and others who will need to verify the sequestration. It will provide invaluable direction to farmers, foresters, land managers, consultants, brokers, investors, regulators, and others interested in creating consistent, credible greenhouse gas offsets as a tradable commodity in the United States. The guide contains a non-technical section detailing methodologies for scoping of the costs and benefits of a proposed project, quantifying offsets of various sorts under a range of situations and conditions, and verifying and registering the offsets. The technical section provides specific information for quantifying, verifying, and regulating offsets from agricultural and forestry practices. Visit the Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions website for audio from the press conference announcing the book. The Impact of Medical Cost Offset on Practice and Research: Making It Work for You (Healthcare Utilization and Cost Series, V. 5) Context PressThis volume, the result of a national conference sponsored by The Nicholas and Dorothy Cummings Foundation and the University of Nevada, Reno, examines the phenomenon called medical cost offset. The specific question that interests us in this book is: Can the cost of detecting and treating patients' psychosocial problems (from subclinical problems such as stress, to mental disorders such as depression, to adjunctive problems such as treatment adherence, or finally, lifestyle issues such as poor exercise habits) be offset by decreased medical utilization in the future? |
