Summary

Ecosystem Services Framework explores the integration of nature's benefits into legal and policy mechanisms to promote conservation and sustainable development. It addresses how crucial services like clean water, pollination, and climate regulation are often overlooked in economic decisions, leading to environmental degradation. The book argues for a robust legal framework that assigns economic value and establishes clear rights and responsibilities for ecosystem protection, highlighting that assigning value can transform conservation efforts.

 
The book delves into compensation schemes like Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) and biodiversity offsets, scrutinizing their legal challenges, equity, and long-term effectiveness through global case studies. It also examines integrating ecosystem services into land-use planning, emphasizing ecosystem-based adaptation to climate change and sustainable resource management.

 
Finally, the framework explores the legal recognition of ecosystem services as property rights, addressing the complexities of defining and enforcing these rights in shared and transboundary ecosystems. The book progresses by first providing a historical and scientific context to the topic. It then moves into an analysis of compensation schemes and land-use planning policies, and concludes by exploring the legal recognition of ecosystem services as property rights. This academic approach provides a balanced analysis of the legal, economic, and ecological dimensions of ecosystem service frameworks, acknowledging debates surrounding ecosystem service valuation and potential unintended consequences.

And You May Find Yourself -...

Sari Botton

Gen-X author and Oldster Magazine/Memoir Land editor Sari Botton reads her celebrated memoir, "And You May Find Yourself...", about finding yourself later in life—after first getting lost in all the wrong places. As Botton discovers, the wrong places famously include her own self-suppression and misguided efforts to please others (mostly men). In a series of candid, reflective, sometimes humorous essays, Botton describes coming to feminism and self-actualization as an older person; second (and third and fourth) chances; and how maybe it's never too late to find your way...assuming you're lucky enough to live long.  
"In her edgy, tender, witty way, Sari Botton has written a book for any woman who ever contorted herself to fit culturally imposed ideals, in other words, all of us. In witnessing the ways Sari has fought and failed and flourished, in the poignancy and laughter, there is deep wisdom and an abundance of spirit." 
—Beverly Donofrio, author of "Riding in Cars with Boys" 
"A fresh and humorous meditation on the trials and tribulations of a smart Gen-X young woman who tries to extricate herself from a straitlaced suburban upbringing to become a cool, East Village girl, only to keep falling for the wrong man, the wrong therapist, and the wrong job... until she doesn't. Botton's hilarious and self-aware pages on dating all the wrong men recall some of Candace Bushnell's original Sex and the City essays and Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones' Diary."  
—Catherine Texier, author of "Breakup" 
"A humanizing, humble, and hard look at a life. Investigative journalism of the soul. Sari Botton's And You May Find Yourself is like the older sister of My Misspent Youth by Meghan Daum. You will absolutely find yourself in this intelligent, clever, and clear-hearted book." 
—Chloe Caldwell, author of "The Red Zone: A Love Story"

300 per hour - The price for my...

Mathilde Davril

"I am Mathilde, alias Mathilda. I am 37 years old and I prostitute myself to be a free woman. I have been an executive assistant, a sales manager in media, a communication manager for an employers' confederation and a company director in business aviation. But I was a precarious woman, being used for a low price, like a great majority of women in France. In parallel to my work activities, I became an escort to get out of my social condition and not be a free and disposable object anymore. I have been leading this double life for 10 years in Lyon; and today men, but also women, respect me for what I am. I like this life and I embrace it fully."
Like 5% to 10% prostitutes in France (and certainly many more), Mathilde engages in this profession freely and without constraint, to no longer be the prey of males and a patriarchal society. Free, authentic and without pretense, she takes the reader on a journey of discovery of a profession that fascinates and that no one talks about in this way. With a provocative but always human tone, she reveals with strength and fragility her non-conformist universe and her atypical personality. From her family to her friends, from her lovers to her clients, from her jobs to her first trick, Mathilde shares her way of life openly because her reality does not need to be hidden.
