Jay L Newberry past research has dealt refugee secondary migrations as He can easily bring this into the coursework on the sustainability of the receiving urban settlements. This occupies a prominent part in the book I am currently completing. He rely heavily on quantitative methods in his research (my next monograph, for example, will use linear programming procedures to examine precinct efficiency in New York City), and while the book’s primary focus is on mass migration into ill-prepared cities, the overall goal is to tie these Actions to unsustainable practices that lead to accelerated resource depletion. This is why He admire the goal of your publication because, as you stated, it aims to create public awareness about issues related to protection and sustainability of environment and natural resources. Why is that necessary? Because the majority of Americans-despite suffering through the deadly heat dome that just covered the vast majority of the U.S-still dismiss the changes our planet is experiencing as a result of human actions.
