For many years; a uniform and uncontested picture of utility system organization has endured across Europe. Provider and consumer roles have been largely taken for granted; and consumers have had little choice but to use the infrastructure of the only network provider available. Recent transformations have challenged this model. This book examines the ongoing environmental restructuring of consumption and provision in energy; water and waste systems. In accounting for the distinctive environmental qualities; technical features; and institutional dynamics of utility systems this book challenges contemporary conceptualizations of consumers as the autonomous drivers of environmental change. Instead; utilities and users are positioned as the co-managers of utility systems; and processes of environmental innovation are seen to depend on the systemic restructuring of demand.

What a beautiful thing to do - Thank you. Mr. Slide!By A CustomerThose of us with a love and fascination for vaudeville. but who were just born too late. owe a real debt to Anthony Slide. This book. while a little light on the stories so near and dear to my heart (though I suppose you can get those from "All My Best Friends" by George Burns) is still an absolutely invaluable reference piece. Im sure there are others out there (you know who you are!) who wish they could have been there- to see a young Eddie Cantor run around the stage for eight shows a day with total abandon; to witness W.C. Fields as he originally performed. as a silent juggling clown(!); to watch the Ziegfield spectacles; to see. quite simply. the GREATEST ENTERTAINER THAT EVER LIVED. Al Jolson. This doesnt put you in the front row of the Palace. but it sure helps.Even if youre not a fan of this truly American artform. you should be proud that a resource like this exists (and in nigh-indestructible library binding. to boot!)Not cheap. but well worth it.
