South East Queensland has been one of the fastest growing regions of Australia; both in terms of its rapidly growing population and an ever-expanding built environment. It is also one of the most vulnerable regions likely to suffer from the adverse impacts of climate change; especially increased flooding; storms; coastal erosion and drought. Responding to Climate Change: Lessons from an Australian Hotspot brings together the results of cutting-edge research from members of the Griffith Climate Change Response Program; showing how best to respond to anticipated changes and how to overcome barriers to adaptation. The authors treat climate change adaptation as a cross-cutting; multi-level governance policy challenge extending across human settlements; infrastructure; ecosystems; water management; primary industries; emergency management and human health.The research focuses on; but is not limited to; the experience of climate change adaptation in the recognised climate hotspot of South East Queensland. The results of this research will be of interest to planners; policy makers and other practitioners engaged in urban and environmental planning; coastal management; public health; emergency management; and physical infrastructure at the local; regional and metropolitan government scales.

Instead I got a story book with nice little watercolor paintings in it. I was vastly disappointed.21 of 22 people found the following review helpful. niceBy A CustomerI thought that this book was very interesting; although frustrating because there were no pictures; only illustrations. The best part of this book was the last chapter; in which a step by step instruction shows how to do several moves in the Irish Jig. This book is a must for anyone new to the world of Irish Dancing becuase it gives an overview of the history; future; origins; costumes; etc. of Irish Dancing.9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Unreliable; Sparsely Located InformationBy E. VenableThis; a very frustrating book; links factual information with "myth". His apparent knowledge of the competative system is quite limited. No sources are given; and there is very little information that is specific enough to check. Perhaps a good source for a childs report.
