Next, the authors discuss the interest in "green" technology from the authorities and inhabitants of Romania. Additionally, in Romania there is an increasing interest in building with low pollution, high efficiency and environmental friendliness. In closing, the authors discuss the political crisis of December, 1937 in Romania which caused the formation of the government of O. Goga, the chairman of the National Christian Party. The activities of the government were also interrupted by the King's decision to establish authoritativeness on February 11, 1938."--Provided by publisher

This book offers African, Asian, Latin American, European, and North American perspectives on institutions and regulations promoting sustainable economic growth in the post-2015 development agenda in areas such as environment, labour, risk management, corporate social responsibility, corporate governance, and innovation. The chapters address sustainability issues at the firm, national, regional and international levels from a multidisciplinary perspective. The chapters of this volume address the challenge of enhancing economic competitiveness of the supply side economies while pushing a sustainable development agenda.

This collection begins with a chapter that links human and ecological systems research to analyze resource management decisions for Alaska's first submerged aquatic invasive plant, Elodea spp. A case study is presented which may aid other countries in management of Elodea by outlining steps for future policy-making with the goal of retaining the ecological integrity and economic value of Alaska's vast freshwater resources. The second chapter makes use of the De Martonne aridity index and the UNEP Index to determine the humidity of Alaska's Prince William Sound. The indices for climate variability indicate higher humidity in the western sides and lower humidity in the eastern sides. These results highlight the spatial distribution of the climate variables in Prince William Sound from Southcentral Alaska. The third chapter analyzes the Bering Glacier in southern Alaska for its size resultant from complexities of geographical position, accumulation area, and climate conditions. The results of the analysis illustrate the high variation of the Bering Glacier movements in response to climate change. The concluding chapter examines the beginning of orderly social policy in Russian America in 1784, when well-known merchant G.I. Shelikhov founded the first permanent Russian settlement on Kodiak Island off the southern coast of Alaska.

Thus, the life of the Aleuts and dependent Eskimos improved slowly, but gradually
