Health, dignity, and development : what will it take?
   

In this abridged version of its report, the Task Force outlines the bold yet practical actions needed to increase access to water and sanitation. The report underscores the need to focus on the global sanitation crisis, which contributes to the death of 3,900 children each day, to increase access to domestic water supply, and to invest in integrated development and management of water resources. All are necessary for countries to reduce poverty and hunger, improve health, advance gender equality, and ensure environmental sustainability.
Marine mammal research : conservation beyond crisis
    Montgomery, Suzanne | Perrin, W. F. | Ragen, Timothy J. | Reeves, Randall R. | Reynolds, John Elliott

Marine mammal conservation presents a number of challenges for scientists and other stakeholders, especially using natural resources in ways that avoid crisis management. Scientists play the special role of providing vital information to decision makers to help them understand long-term consequences of their actions and avoid crises before they develop. The contributors to this visionary work look beyond the current crises to present a compelling argument about how science, if conducted properly, can provide insights that minimize crisis management and implement more anticipatory action.
Marine protected areas for whales, dolphins and porpoises : a world handbook for cetacean habitat conservation
    Hoyt, Erich

Worldwide in coverage, this 516-page book reveals the inside story on existing and planned marine protected areas (MPAs), national parks and sanctuaries around the world. It is designed to be a key resource for scientists, research institutions, students, wildlife conservation agencies, MPA managers, and anyone who cares about cetaceans and the special places where they live. Since most of the world's MPAs promote whale and dolphin watching and responsible marine ecotourism, the book is also being used by keen cetacean watchers to find some of the best places to watch the 84 species of whales, dolphins and porpoises in more than 100 countries around the world.

Food policy for the poor : expanding research frontiers. Highlights from 30 years of IFPRI research
    Zeller, Manfred | Schrieder, Gertrud | Braum, Joachim von | Heidhues, Franz

The compendium shows how the scope of research has evolved at IFPRI, as well as in the wider development community. It covers a host of topics that bear on food and nutrition security, including development strategies, markets and trade, technologies for agricultural production, natural resource management, conflicts and natural disasters, subsidies and safety nets, gender roles, and health. Research on each topic is set into context to show how thinking has progressed over time. The collection includes essays by four former IFPRI directors general, who give their insights into current and future issues facing the Institute and the research community.
