Book Synopsis Green Gone Wrong by : Heather Rogers
Download or read book Green Gone Wrong written by Heather Rogers and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2013-01-16 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faced with climate change, many counsel "going green," encouraging us to buy organic food or a "clean" car, for example. But can we rely on consumerism to provide a solution to the very problems it has helped cause? Heather Rogers travels from Paraguay to Indonesia, via the Hudson Valley, Detroit, and Germany's Black Forest, to investigate green capitalism, and argues for solutions that are not mere palliatives or distractions, but ways of engaging with how we live and the kind of world we want to live in. A new afterword considers various ways in which national development might be freed from its dependence on economic growth, allowing for a decent standard of living without exhausting the planet's resources.
Download or read book Green Gone Wrong written by Paul Taylor and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-01-15 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The environmental movement is the most densely organized movement in human history. Green Gone Wrong is a sweeping view of the environmental movement that began and reached its full legitimate expression in the United States in the 20th Century, yet, as the book argues, has lost its way in the 21st Century. The book critically examines the environmental movement; its environmentalist believers, its motivating philosophers, philosophies and psychology. The book explores the concepts of ecopolitics and fear mongering that have infected environmentalism and its government bureaucratic legacy. The book also calls for a re-introduction of good science into environmental policy decisions. Green Gone Wrong takes a candid and contemporary look at the negative impacts of ecopolitics on your life, property and constitutional rights. The book presents cases of ecopolitical abuses in public debates and legal conflicts, and portrays the condition of today's environment in surprisingly positive terms. This fact-filled and fully-referenced work is from the provocative perspective of an environmental scientist who has solved real environmental problems for 25 years. Through this insightful account, your understanding of our environment will change from one of endless problems to one of amazing solutions.

Maybe that is the only way out. Maybe that is just who he is now… Set in modern-day Europe, the second book in the Half Bad trilogy is more than a story about witches.

Book Synopsis Climates and Attitude Change ---- Naturally! by : Patrick R. Dugan PhD
Download or read book Climates and Attitude Change ---- Naturally! written by Patrick R. Dugan PhD and published by Author House. This book was released on 2013-11-29 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evidence and observations are presented, demonstrating that the primary cause of the earth warming trend is a collective result due to very large sources of: heat, moisture, CO2, smoke and other substances that absorb solar radiation. Examples are: lightning, nuclear reactions, volcano eruptions, wildfires, human and animal metabolism and probably others that have not been identified herein. All the above contributors are natural sources. The case is presented whereby a significant amount of human and animal activity are coincident with life processes and are therefore not controllable; whereas some activities are a matter of choice and are controllable. Earth is presently in a period of increased heat released from volcanic activity and from human and animal population growth. Although no quantitative evidence is presented, there is the possibility that heat from lightning and deep ocean thermal vents may also be increasing. This leads to the conclusion that the relatively low concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is a minor source of global or regional warming and/or climate change. It also implies that decrease of CO2 in the atmosphere will not significantly ameliorate or control climate changea specious speculation based upon a fallacious postulation. Further, the cases presented lead to an explanation of the frequently observed lack of correlation between atmospheric CO2 concentration and global temperature change. Finally, it is also concluded that CO2 is ubiquitous, pervasive and essential to all living organisms. It is neither an environmental pollutant nor a hazardous chemical under normal environmental circumstances.

Download or read book This Land written by Anthony Flint and published by Johns Hopkins University Press+ORM. This book was released on 2006-05-10 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An expert in American housing examines the rise of sprawling subdivisions, their effect on the environment, and sustainable development strategies. Americans are spreading out more than ever—into “exurbs” and “boomburbs” miles from anywhere, where big subdivisions offer big houses. We cling to the notion of safer neighborhoods and better schools, but what we get are longer commutes, higher taxes, and a landscape of strip malls and office parks. The subdivisions and extra-wide roadways are encroaching into the wetlands of Florida, ranchlands in Texas, and the desert outside Phoenix and Las Vegas. But with up to 120 million more people in the country by 2050, will the spread-out pattern cave in on itself? Could Americans embrace a new approach to development? In This Land, veteran journalist and Harvard scholar Anthony Flint tells the untold story of development in America. It is the story of a burgeoning anti-sprawl movement, a 1960s-style revolution of New Urbanism, smart growth, and green building. And it is the story of landowners fighting back on the basis of property rights, with free-market libertarians, homebuilders, road pavers, financial institutions, and even the lawn-care industry right alongside them.

Book Synopsis What'll We Do with this Life? by : Karl Krolow
Download or read book What'll We Do with this Life? written by Karl Krolow and published by Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Karl Krolow, considered by many the dean of contemporary German poets, has had a rich and varied career as a prose writer, essayist, and translator as well. He is the author of more than thirty volumes of poetry, each with a life and mind of its own. This selection aims to be as representative as possible of the four major decades of his life as a poet. In the forty years that What'll We Do With This Life? covers, Krolow ranges across many subjects and themes, all the while absorbing and articulating them by means of a lyric voice, or on occasion voices, that is at once abstract and detached, but so concentrated and focused that what is observed and communicated becomes intimate, almost voyeuristic accounts of our private lives - which turn out to be the sum and substance of our public lives as well. In poems Krolow calls half-open doors, he heightens our readiness to respond to life's exigencies, to which we are not quite privy, but which affect our lives deeply. His basic stylistic mode, part of the century's "parlando" tradition, issues from a deep private center that wishes to connect, if only briefly, often with one other human at a time. The paradox is that the more detached the poems seem, the more intimately the reader is affected, caught exposed in the blaze of the imagined moment. Krolow puts it this way: "Poems are for those waiting for lightning." Krolow also observes that in trying to make "the poem of almost nothing," he perhaps stands a chance of having it be about everything; he is fond of quoting Flaubert in this regard, who most wanted to write a book about nothing. But even as Krolow's "embarrassed I" tries to escape our direct attention, we reach, through the poem and its relation to our own internal monologues, human images that connect us all. Today, approaching eighty and not in the best health, Krolow remains poetically and politically involved, taking a lively interest in the emergence of a united Germany, with all the challenges that presupposes. As a critic, a reader, a judge of literary competitions, and as president of The Germany Academy of Language and Literature (1972-75), he has been generous in his ways with the talents of others, doing much to ensure that we will leave literary descendants. Almost no living German writer, and many another writer beyond the borders of Germany, has been without Krolow's direct or indirect support.
Book Synopsis The A to Z of Environmentalism by : Peter Dauvergne
Download or read book The A to Z of Environmentalism written by Peter Dauvergne and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2009-09-02 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmentalism involves hundreds of international environmental groups, thousands of national groups, and tens of thousands of local ones. It also includes hundreds of international agreements, hundreds of national environmental agencies, and countless environmental sections in other organizations—from those in multinational corporations to ones in regional and international organizations. Such environmental concepts as sustainable development, the precautionary principle, corporate social responsibility, and eco-labeling percolate from all of these sources. Every year, new ideas, refinements, policies, institutions, markets, and problems continue to enter into environmental debates and discourses, making it nearly impossible to keep abreast of the changes constantly taking place. The A to Z of Environmentalism is a paperback edition of the Historical Dictionary of Environmentalism. It strategically skips across issues, concepts, time, organizations, and cultures, not with any pretense of producing a definitive dictionary but rather with the aim of producing an inclusive, wide-ranging, and global history of environmentalism. This goal is accomplished through a chronology, an introductory essay, and over 300 cross-referenced dictionary entries.

Book Synopsis Regulators Gone Wild by : Rich Trzupek
Download or read book Regulators Gone Wild written by Rich Trzupek and published by Encounter Books. This book was released on 2012-01-31 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental regulations aren’t always about environmental protection. Today, more than ever, regulations seem to have been designed by activists, rather than scientists. Regulators Gone Wild is the shocking inside story of how the green movement and big government have united to stifle American productivity and hamstring American innovation, not by design, but as the inevitable consequence of pursuing a utopian vision of environmental purity. As a respected scientist and consultant, Rich Trzupek has seen the EPA lose its focus on cleaning up the environment, turning instead to mindless bureaucracies and sweeping policies with negligible environmental impact. Meanwhile, the green industry continues to exploit bad science to sell the public on their aggressive agenda. The result, Trzupek reports, is a plethora of regulations that have warped incentives and thwarted American industry’s ability to create long-term wealth. With these forces now focused on climate change and initiatives to reduce fossil fuel use, the march to castigate and control industry, Regulators Gone Wild contends, is entering an unprecedented and dangerous phase that could put the economic fortunes of the country in peril for generations. This enhanced ebook features the bonus video "The EPA's Green Tyranny".
