Climate Change seems to have a significant impact to our communities. When there is a lack of water (i.e. drought) communities are vulnerable. In this paper you are asked to provide a critical evaluation of the impacts of droughts. As engineers what can we do to reduce the impacts from droughts.
Task: Develop an Annotated Bibliography which contains a minimum of 3 sources. Cite the sources using the ASCE citation styleLinks to an external site.. The annotated bibliography is a minimum of two paragraphs per source.
Your annotation should include:
An identification of the type of source (peer review, journal proceedings, popular, newspaper article, ebook, video, website, etc¦), which should include the citation in ASCE format.
A summary (annotation) of what the source is about (this includes the main points of the source).
An explanation of how you plan to use this source to support your position
Your bibliography must be submitted as a *.pdf through blackboard.
Example of Annotated Bibliography: Doe, J. (2009). “Applications of realist political theory.”Journalof Political Theory, 99(12), 304-310.
Doe, an Associate Professor of Political Science at the Universityof Bratislava, argues that despite developments in constructivistinternational theory, realism is still the best paradigm forunderstanding International Relations (IR). Doe takes fiveprinciple assertions from classical realism and modernconstructivism and applies them to three prominent events inrecent IR: the attacks on the U.S.S. Cole, the 9/11 attacks and thewar in Iraq. Doe determined that since realism puts greateremphasis specifically on the given nature of the world stage,realism is more useful and more correct than constructivism.
While Doe’s analysis is useful, the study does not sufficientlyanswer why a political theory emphasizing a given nature ofinternational relations is more ideal than a theory that does notemphasize it. Regardless, the definitions of realism andconstructivism, as well as the general principles behind themethodology, are the most useful aspects of this article, even ifits execution of the methodology is poor. I will use Doe’sdefinitions of realism and constructivism in my own research.
