Several independent trajectories of subsistence intensification, often leading to agriculture,
began during the Holocene. No plant-rich intensifications are known from the Pleistocene …

The long-term impacts of disasters are 'hidden'as it becomes increasingly difficult over time
to attribute them to a singular event. We use a synthetic control methodology, formalized in …

This book discusses how citizens can participate more effectively in sustainability science
and environmental policy debates. It discusses designs for participatory procedures, and …
