Routledge Handbook of the Resource Nexus

The language of the nexus highlights the need for interconnected thinking between the natural and social sciences, and between the research community and decision makers. By bringing together such an outstanding range of thinkers and perspectives from across the world, Routledge Handbook of the Resource Nexus looks set to become an indispensable volume for all those engaged in these debates. It sets out with admirable clarity the theoretical, empirical and research underpinnings of this field, and will provide nexus brokers and boundary-spanners with the intellectual tools they need to achieve tangible progress. - James Wilsdon, Professor of Research Policy, University of Sheffield, UK and Director, ESRC Nexus Network No energy myopia, no water myopia and no food cry of alarm, but a great handbook addressing the mutual relations. - Ernst von Weizsacker, Past Co-Chair, International Resource Panel This handbook provides a qualified response, given by key experts, to the recurring question of what the Resource Nexus actually means. That nexus is presented as a useful heuristic for addressing the new challenges of the Anthropocene and for evidence-based support of a sustainability transition. Integrative methods and tools for systemic resource management and governance are illustrated, adaptable to a wide range of thematic and geographic contexts and scales. - Prof. Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, Director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), Germany and Senior Research Fellow at the Stockholm Resilience Centre, Sweden [the handbook is] a massive volume packed with 32 interesting and thought-provoking chapters researched and written by over 50 contributors - Anton Loef, in Mineral Economics (March, 2019)
