Book Synopsis From Precaution to Profit by : Brian Gareau
Download or read book From Precaution to Profit written by Brian Gareau and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2013-01-29 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book challenges the oft-cited belief that the Montreal Protocol remains an exemplary global environmental agreement. Through a sociological analysis of the political decision-making process and controversies generated at Montreal Protocol meetings, the book documents new ways global environmental governance is organized based on neoliberal ideals. The book shows how neoliberalism - as a dominant discourse and economic practice - has become increasingly embedded in the Montreal Protocol, and how global powers are able to act protectionist amid that discourse. The book demonstrates how recent controversies involve much more than just economic protectionism per se; it also involves the protection of the legitimacy of certain forms of scientific knowledge. It traces the rise of a new form of disagreement between global powers, members of the scientific community, civil society and agro-industry groups, signaling the negative impact of neoliberal policies on ozone politics and global environmental governance more broadly. The book reveals how global civil society groups involved in the Montreal Protocol are affected by the neoliberal discourse, which has left them relatively ineffective in their efforts to push for environmental protection"--

Book Synopsis Legions of Pigs in the Early Medieval West by : Jamie Kreiner
Download or read book Legions of Pigs in the Early Medieval West written by Jamie Kreiner and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-27 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of life in the early medieval West, using pigs as a lens to investigate agriculture, ecology, economy, and philosophy From North Africa to the British Isles, pigs were a crucial part of agriculture and culture in the early medieval period. Jamie Kreiner examines how this ubiquitous species was integrated into early medieval ecologies and transformed the way that people thought about the world around them. In this world, even the smallest things could have far‑reaching consequences. Kreiner tracks the interlocking relationships between pigs and humans by drawing on textual and visual evidence, bioarchaeology and settlement archaeology, and mammal biology. She shows how early medieval communities bent their own lives in order to accommodate these tricky animals—and how in the process they reconfigured their agrarian regimes, their fiscal policies, and their very identities. In the end, even the pig’s own identity was transformed: by the close of the early Middle Ages, it had become a riveting metaphor for Christianity itself.
Download or read book Peppermint Kings written by Dan Allosso and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2020-06-23 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unexplored, fascinating history of nineteenth-century agrarian life, told through the engaging lens of three families central to the peppermint oil industry This unconventional history relates the engaging and unusual stories of three families in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries whose involvement in the peppermint oil industry provides insights into the perspectives and concerns of rural people of their time. Challenging the standard paradigms, historian Dan Allosso focuses on the rural characters who lived by their own rules and did not acquiesce to contemporary religious doctrines, business mores, and political expediencies. The Ranneys, a secular family in a very religious time and place; the Hotchkisses, who ran banks and printed their own money while the Lincoln administration was eliminating state banking; and the Todd family, who incorporated successful business practices with populist socialism, all highlight the untold story of rural America's engagement with the capitalist marketplace. The families' atypical attitudes and activities offer unexpected perspectives on rural business and life.
Book Synopsis Burning Matters by : Peter C. Little
Download or read book Burning Matters written by Peter C. Little and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-10-18 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global trade in electronic waste (e-waste) has led to various waste management challenges and many regions of the Global South have suffered the toxic consequences. In Burning Matters, Peter C. Little explores the complex cultural, economic, and environmental health politics of e-waste work in Ghana. He brings to light the lived experiences of Ghana's e-waste workers, as they navigate the health, social, and economic challenges of highly toxic e-waste labor. In particular, Little engages the experiences of e-waste workers who burn bundles of electrical cables to extract copper, a practice that contaminates bodies and the urban environment and which has attracted international organizations seeking to mitigate risk and find quick tech solutions to this highly toxic e-waste work. A nuanced perspective on e-waste burning and environmental politics in Africa at a time when global e-waste generation and trade is at an all-time high, Burning Matters contends that e-waste interventions devoid of ethnographic perspective and knowledge risk downplaying the vibrant complexities of e-waste itself and the matters of social life and labor that matter most to Ghana's e-waste workers.
Book Synopsis Climate Change from the Streets by : Michael Mendez
Download or read book Climate Change from the Streets written by Michael Mendez and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2020-01-07 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An urgent and timely story of the contentious politics of incorporating environmental justice into global climate change policy Although the science of climate change is clear, policy decisions about how to respond to its effects remain contentious. Even when such decisions claim to be guided by objective knowledge, they are made and implemented through political institutions and relationships—and all the competing interests and power struggles that this implies. Michael Méndez tells a timely story of people, place, and power in the context of climate change and inequality. He explores the perspectives and influence low†‘income people of color bring to their advocacy work on climate change. In California, activist groups have galvanized behind issues such as air pollution, poverty alleviation, and green jobs to advance equitable climate solutions at the local, state, and global levels. Arguing that environmental protection and improving public health are inextricably linked, Mendez contends that we must incorporate local knowledge, culture, and history into policymaking to fully address the global complexities of climate change and the real threats facing our local communities.

Book Synopsis Hillsborough: Profit Before People by : Brian Cranwell
Download or read book Hillsborough: Profit Before People written by Brian Cranwell and published by New Generation Publishing. This book was released on 2017-03-15 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On April 15 1989, 96 football supporters died and over 700 were injured in the Hillsborough Stadium disaster - one of the worst tragedies in football history. Brian Cranwell, a local vicar, was there overnight organising help and care for those seeking news of the injured and dying. While the verdicts of the Warrington Inquest jury have listed culpability of not just the police and ambulance services but also the Sheffield Wednesday club and other agencies, media and public discussion has focused almost entirely on the shortcomings of the police and the decision that the victims were unlawfully killed. The fact is that the tragedy would have come as no surprise to anyone involved. The Wednesday club Directors had failed to implement safety recommendations, on cost grounds, made after previous crushes that had left many people injured. The Football Association was aware that the ground had been refused clearance for international matches. The Inspectorate responsible for ground safety had not renewed the ground's safety certificate for 10 years. And the police and Social Services, despite previous similar events, had no major incident contingency plans. Although legislation was introduced 100 years earlier to ensure safety in theatres (following a fire killing 150 people in Bristol), it was not until 1975 that the Safety in Sports Grounds Act was set up for arenas that hold 20 or 30 times more people than theatres. The Hillsborough disaster never should have happened. But Brian Cranwell discusses examples of other institutions, many of whom have experienced major incidents resulting in death, yet who, as shown by the history of football clubs, believe "e;it could not happen here"e; or treat such incidents as a "e;one off"e;. He also points out that many other issues, from facilities for disabled fans to health and mental consequences of the use of the head in sports, indicate that the attitudes towards the welfare of fans and players (described by Sir Stanley Matthews as treating them as terrace fodder) is secondary in many wealthy clubs to maximising income.
