Book Synopsis (Eco)anxiety in Nuclear Holocaust Fiction and Climate Fiction by : Dominika Oramus
Download or read book (Eco)anxiety in Nuclear Holocaust Fiction and Climate Fiction written by Dominika Oramus and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "(Eco)Anxiety in Nuclear Holocaust Fiction and Climate Fiction: Doomsday Clock Narratives demonstrates that disaster fiction-nuclear holocaust and climate change alike-allows us to unearth and anatomize contemporary psychodynamics, and enables us to identify pre-traumatic stress as the common denominator of seemingly unrelated types of texts. These Doomsday Clock Narratives argue that earth's demise is soon and certain. They are set after some catastrophe and depict people waiting for an even worse catastrophe to come. References to geology are particularly important-in descriptions of the landscape, the emphasis falls on waste and industrial bric-a-brac, which is seen through the eyes of a future, post-human archaeologist. Their protagonists have the uncanny feeling that the countdown has already started, and they are coping with both traumatic memories and pre-traumatic stress. Readings of novels by Walter M. Miller, Nevil Shute, John Christopher, J.G. Ballard, George Turner, Paolo Bacigalupi, Maggie Gee, Ruth Ozeki and Yoko Tawada demonstrate that the authors are both indebted to a century-old tradition and inventively looking for new ways of expressing the Pre-TSS common in contemporary society. This book is written for an academic audience (postgraduates, researchers and academics) specializing in British Literature, American Literature, and Science Fiction Studies"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A West Virginia family struggles amid the booms and busts of the Appalachian coal industry in this “powerful, sure-footed, and haunting” novel with echoes of John Steinbeck (New York Times Book Review). Set in present day West Virginia, this debut novel tells the story of a coal mining family—a couple and their four children—living through the latest mining boom and dealing with the mountaintop removal and strip mining that is ruining what is left of their hometown. As the mine turns the mountains “to slag and wastewater,” workers struggle with layoffs and children find adventure in the blasted moonscape craters. Strange as This Weather Has Been follows several members of the family, with a particular focus on fifteen–year–old Bant and her mother, Lace. Working at a motel, Bant becomes involved with a young miner while her mother contemplates joining the fight against the mining companies. As domestic conflicts escalate at home, the children are pushed more and more frequently outside among junk from the floods and felled trees in the hollows—the only nature they have ever known. But Bant has other memories and is as curious and strong–willed as her mother, and ultimately comes to discover the very real threat of destruction that looms as much in the landscape as it does at home.

Book excerpt: Annihilate and obliterate are oft used terms in the summer of 1962, and the village of Windsor, Iowa, is under siege by its own hysteria. The Cold War haunts every doorstep, as do threats of bombs from overseas--life extinguished in a horrific mushroom cloud. A sign of the times, people in the small town are in a constant state of readiness for nuclear war. In his fervent quest for survival, wealthy construction magnate George Dobbs builds a state-of-the-art fallout shelter big enough for the entire town. Carved into the nearby hillside, the shelter is impenetrable with a door of heavy steel and walls and ceilings of one-foot thick cement. When the nuclear holocaust begins, the town of Windsor will be ready. When it happens, this possible end to the world, the townspeople swarm to the shelter. In the days of confinement, people change their lives, make surprising commitments, and do what mankind does best--survive. When the truth is ultimately revealed, will life return to the way it once was in this small, peaceful town, or will all Windsor residents be changed forever?
Download or read book Climate Dragon written by S W Lawrence and published by . This book was released on 2024-01-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Climate Dragon: Treachery, Pestilence, and Weirding Weather describes how we currently generate and use energy in the United States. The scope of the book is enormous: from the emergence of oxygen in primordial seas to the current scourge of heat-trapping gases in the last 150 years, topics range from the global to the molecular and even sub-atomic, yet it is accessible to the reader. Climate Dragon's story is told by Jake and Abbey, a couple who manage Dragonfly Inn and share their insights into renewable energy. What emerges is the simple truth that our future together on Earth depends on how quickly we can transition to renewable sources such as wind, solar devices (panels or thermal plants), wave energy, and hydroelectric energy. If human society is to continue into the next millennium in a way we would recognize today, we must make and use only zero-carbon electricity for our industries, our transportation, and our homes. At the same time, we must remove carbon dioxide and methane from the atmosphere and the oceans. Climate Dragon is your guide to that future."
Book Synopsis A Field Guide to Climate Anxiety by : Sarah Jaquette Ray
Download or read book A Field Guide to Climate Anxiety written by Sarah Jaquette Ray and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2020-04-21 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gen Z's first "existential toolkit" for combating eco-guilt and burnout while advocating for climate justice. A youth movement is reenergizing global environmental activism. The “climate generation”—late millennials and iGen, or Generation Z—is demanding that policy makers and government leaders take immediate action to address the dire outcomes predicted by climate science. Those inheriting our planet’s environmental problems expect to encounter challenges, but they may not have the skills to grapple with the feelings of powerlessness and despair that may arise when they confront this seemingly intractable situation. Drawing on a decade of experience leading and teaching in college environmental studies programs, Sarah Jaquette Ray has created an “existential tool kit” for the climate generation. Combining insights from psychology, sociology, social movements, mindfulness, and the environmental humanities, Ray explains why and how we need to let go of eco-guilt, resist burnout, and cultivate resilience while advocating for climate justice. A Field Guide to Climate Anxiety is the essential guidebook for the climate generation—and perhaps the rest of us—as we confront the greatest environmental threat of our time.
