About our publications
Note: The California Institute of Public Affairs (CIPA) changed its name to InterEnvironment Institute in January 2010. California Institute of Public Affairs is now a program and imprint of InterEnvironment Institute. See the home page for details. Until 2010, print and online publications were published under CIPA's name, sometimes using "InterEnvironment" as an additional imprint.
PRINT PUBLICATIONS
Reference books: From 1969-2001, CIPA produced dozens of reference books, several in multiple editions. Flagship titles were:
— The California Handbook (eight editions), the standard resource guide to all aspects of the state, which Sunset Magazine called “an astonishing compendium,” and about which the Los Angeles Times wrote: “No other contemporary guide covers so much California ground.”
— The World Directory of Environmental Organizations (six editions), which Booklist (American Library Association) called "an essential purchase for academic institutions with environment-related curricula." The most-visited page on our Web site is a 2,000-word essay that originated in the World Directory, “About Environmental Organizations & Programs.” For other papers from the World Directory and background on the project, go to World Directory of Environmental Organizations. Other topics covered by CIPA reference books included California environmental law; California legislative and congressional districts; organizations concerned with California’s environment, water, energy, ethnic groups, toxic materials, and transportation; and such national and global topics as energy, population, and food supply. Reviews were very positive. A book on energy earned Library Journal’s designation as one of the “best reference books of the year.” Research reports and conference proceedings: Numerous publications have resulted from CIPA and related IUCN projects. Examples are mentioned under descriptions of projects above; many others are listed on CIPA’s Web site. Most publications are now issued in both print and online form. Most printed books and reports have been published by CIPA. In many cases, they have been co-published with such other organizations as IUCN, Earthscan (London), Development Alternatives (New Delhi), and the World Future Society. Articles resulting from CIPA’s work have appeared in academic and professional journals. For a list of publications in print, and ordering information, go to Print publications.
