Download or read book Global Crisis written by Geoffrey Parker and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2013-03-15 with total page 944 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The acclaimed historian demonstrates a link between climate change and social unrest across the globe during the mid-17th century. Revolutions, droughts, famines, invasions, wars, regicides, government collapses—the calamities of the mid-seventeenth century were unprecedented in both frequency and severity. The effects of what historians call the "General Crisis" extended from England to Japan and from the Russian Empire to sub-Saharan Africa and the Americas. In this meticulously researched volume, historian Geoffrey Parker presents the firsthand testimony of men and women who experienced the many political, economic, and social crises that occurred between 1618 to the late 1680s. He also incorporates the scientific evidence of climate change during this period into the narrative, offering a strikingly new understanding of the General Crisis. Changes in weather patterns, especially longer winters and cooler and wetter summers, disrupted growing seasons and destroyed harvests. This in turn brought hunger, malnutrition, and disease; and as material conditions worsened, wars, rebellions, and revolutions rocked the world.
Download or read book Ardeth #12 written by AA.VV. and published by Rosenberg & Sellier. This book was released on 2024-03-06 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the backdrop of the New European Bauhaus, our time presents the European designer with three pivotal keywords: beautiful, sustainable, and together. The central question that this issue of “Ardeth” seeks to address is how to employ these three keywords in the best possible way. In essence, it grapples with the question of how to use but not abuse the checkpoints they provide us with to truly grasp the intricacies of their intended applications. The aim is to prevent hastening the transition from words to designs and, ultimately, from designs to the artefacts that make up the space of our day-to-day human existence.
Book Synopsis La Crisi Ambientale Globale by : Giovanni Rantucci
Download or read book La Crisi Ambientale Globale written by Giovanni Rantucci and published by . This book was released on 2013-09-04 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book "La Crisi Ambientale Globale" is the italian translation of the 2012 book "The Global Environmental Crisis". Humanity is getting closer to the limit beyond which anthropogenic impacts are likely to determine irreversible changes in the climate trend. Trespassing the limit this time will not be due to natural events, rather to human activities and effects on the entire biosphere. Sustainable development appears the only solution for a common survival and United Nations and the European Union should seriously consider the possibility of a unilateral action in preserving the harmony of the biosphere.

Book Synopsis The Climate Book by : Greta Thunberg
Download or read book The Climate Book written by Greta Thunberg and published by Edizioni Mondadori. This book was released on 2022-11-01 with total page 673 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I discorsi di Greta Thunberg hanno scosso il mondo. Con The Climate Book, ha creato uno strumento essenziale per chiunque voglia contribuire a salvarlo. Sembra un'impresa impossibile: garantire un futuro sicuro alla vita sulla Terra, su una scala e a una velocità mai viste al mondo, al cospetto di forze enormi e potenti: non solo i magnati del petrolio e i governi, ma il sistema climatico stesso che cambia. Le probabilità giocano a nostro sfavore e non abbiamo più tempo. Ma non deve andare per forza così. In tutto il mondo, geofisici e matematici, oceanografi e meteorologi, ingegneri, economisti, psicologi e filosofi hanno usato le loro competenze per sviluppare una comprensione profonda delle crisi con cui siamo chiamati a misurarci. Greta Thunberg ha curato The Climate Book in collaborazione con oltre 100 di questi esperti in modo da fornire a tutti noi quel sapere. Insieme a loro, Greta condivide le sue personali storie di scoperta, dimostrazione e messa a nudo del greenwashing in tutto il mondo, rivelandoci fino a che punto siamo stati tenuti all'oscuro. Questo, ci dimostra, è uno dei nostri più grandi problemi, ma anche la nostra più grande fonte di speranza. Una volta che avremo il quadro completo, saremo in grado di agire; e se lo sciopero di una studentessa è stato capace di accendere una protesta globale, cosa potremmo fare collettivamente, se solo ci provassimo? The Climate Book ci dimostra che tutti noi abbiamo la responsabilità di vivere nel periodo più decisivo della storia dell'umanità e che, insieme, possiamo fare ciò che all'apparenza è impossibile. Ma dobbiamo farlo noi, e dobbiamo farlo ora.

Book Synopsis A Global Labour Law by : Adalberto Perulli
Download or read book A Global Labour Law written by Adalberto Perulli and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-31 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the prospects of a global labour law system. Global labour law is understood as a still non-coherent set of norms that at different levels and with different legal effectiveness regulate legal labour relations, promote respect for fundamental social rights, and condition the behavior of the multinational enterprise, from a social justice and sustainability perspective. The book deals with both international labour law and regulatory instruments of different kinds, such as social clauses in international trade treaties or corporate codes of conduct, transnational collective bargaining, and EU directives on due diligence. This complex normative “system” is partly reconstructed and partly subjected to critique, with the aim of producing a hybrid handbook in which the elements of normative knowledge are accompanied by problematic reasoning about the forms, contents and purposes of a possible global labour law. The book will be of interest to academics, researchers and policy-makers working in the areas of Labour Law, Employment Law, International Human Rights Law and Social Justice.
Book Synopsis The Nutmeg's Curse by : Amitav Ghosh
Download or read book The Nutmeg's Curse written by Amitav Ghosh and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2022-09-07 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this ambitious successor to The Great Derangement, acclaimed writer Amitav Ghosh finds the origins of our contemporary climate crisis in Western colonialism’s violent exploitation of human life and the natural environment. A powerful work of history, essay, testimony, and polemic, Amitav Ghosh’s new book traces our contemporary planetary crisis back to the discovery of the New World and the sea route to the Indian Ocean. The Nutmeg’s Curse argues that the dynamics of climate change today are rooted in a centuries-old geopolitical order constructed by Western colonialism. At the center of Ghosh’s narrative is the now-ubiquitous spice nutmeg. The history of the nutmeg is one of conquest and exploitation—of both human life and the natural environment. In Ghosh’s hands, the story of the nutmeg becomes a parable for our environmental crisis, revealing the ways human history has always been entangled with earthly materials such as spices, tea, sugarcane, opium, and fossil fuels. Our crisis, he shows, is ultimately the result of a mechanistic view of the earth, where nature exists only as a resource for humans to use for our own ends, rather than a force of its own, full of agency and meaning. Writing against the backdrop of the global pandemic and the Black Lives Matter protests, Ghosh frames these historical stories in a way that connects our shared colonial histories with the deep inequality we see around us today. By interweaving discussions on everything from the global history of the oil trade to the migrant crisis and the animist spirituality of Indigenous communities around the world, The Nutmeg’s Curse offers a sharp critique of Western society and speaks to the profoundly remarkable ways in which human history is shaped by non-human forces.
Book Synopsis Enlightenment and Ecology by : Tarinski Yavor Tarinski
Download or read book Enlightenment and Ecology written by Tarinski Yavor Tarinski and published by Black Rose Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2021-02-20 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout his life, prophetic American philosopher Murray Bookchin created social ecology as a comprehensive social program for the challenges of our present era. Through tireless teaching, speaking, organizing, and writing, Bookchin presented a humanist vision of ecology based on community, direct democracy, and the better promises of the Enlightenment, showing how we could transform our society into one that is free and egalitarian. Enlightenment and Ecology is an international collection of commemorative essays by scholars and activists who have each incorporated the ideas of social ecology into their own work. This book also examines how the Kurdish freedom movement is using the Bookchin's utopian ideas. In a time of urgent need for radical change, these essays provide both precious historical lessons and a transformative road map.
Book Synopsis I bugiardi del clima by : Stella Levantesi

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un libro imprescindibile per chiunque voglia finalmente sapere come sia potuta riuscire l'operazione di occultamento più grande del secolo: quella orchestrata dai negazionisti dell'emergenza climatica. La prima grande bugia che si può raccontare sull'emergenza climatica è che non è colpa dell'essere umano. La seconda è che tutti gli esseri umani ne sono responsabili in egual misura. Se oggi non esiste una politica climatica globale efficace, se le temperature continuano ad aumentare, se gli ecosistemi sono al collasso, la ragione va cercata nella macchina organizzata del negazionismo climatico: ingenti finanziamenti, tecniche di propaganda ed efficaci manovre di ingegneria comunicativa che hanno lo scopo di far sembrare il cambiamento climatico solo una teoria, un'opinione, non una realtà scientificamente fondata. Questo libro racconta quello che non viene mai detto a proposito dell'emergenza climatica: quando gli scienziati hanno cominciato a dare l'allarme, le industrie di combustibili fossili non potevano permettere che i loro affari fossero compromessi. Erano gli anni '70 e, da allora, le lobby negazioniste – non solo le industrie fossili, ma politici, think tank, gruppi di pressione, piattaforme mediatiche, gruppi di facciata e falsi esperti – hanno messo in atto la più grande operazione di insabbiamento della storia più recente.Il negazionismo non si limita a rimuovere la realtà. Ne costruisce una alternativa al cui centro c'è un elemento su tutti: l'inganno. La disinformazione diventa la nuova realtà. E il negazionismo diventa vitale per la sopravvivenza di quella stessa realtà. Il negazionismo è strategico, è attivo, è pubblico.
Download or read book Drawdown written by Paul Hawken and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017-04-18 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: • New York Times bestseller • The 100 most substantive solutions to reverse global warming, based on meticulous research by leading scientists and policymakers around the world “At this point in time, the Drawdown book is exactly what is needed; a credible, conservative solution-by-solution narrative that we can do it. Reading it is an effective inoculation against the widespread perception of doom that humanity cannot and will not solve the climate crisis. Reported by-effects include increased determination and a sense of grounded hope.” —Per Espen Stoknes, Author, What We Think About When We Try Not To Think About Global Warming “There’s been no real way for ordinary people to get an understanding of what they can do and what impact it can have. There remains no single, comprehensive, reliable compendium of carbon-reduction solutions across sectors. At least until now. . . . The public is hungry for this kind of practical wisdom.” —David Roberts, Vox “This is the ideal environmental sciences textbook—only it is too interesting and inspiring to be called a textbook.” —Peter Kareiva, Director of the Institute of the Environment and Sustainability, UCLA In the face of widespread fear and apathy, an international coalition of researchers, professionals, and scientists have come together to offer a set of realistic and bold solutions to climate change. One hundred techniques and practices are described here—some are well known; some you may have never heard of. They range from clean energy to educating girls in lower-income countries to land use practices that pull carbon out of the air. The solutions exist, are economically viable, and communities throughout the world are currently enacting them with skill and determination. If deployed collectively on a global scale over the next thirty years, they represent a credible path forward, not just to slow the earth’s warming but to reach drawdown, that point in time when greenhouse gases in the atmosphere peak and begin to decline. These measures promise cascading benefits to human health, security, prosperity, and well-being—giving us every reason to see this planetary crisis as an opportunity to create a just and livable world.

Download or read book Ardeth #10-11 written by AA.VV. and published by Rosenberg & Sellier. This book was released on 2023-11-08 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Architectural institutions are reviewing modes of learning and practice of architecture to reflect the changing professional landscape. Schools confront the ever-acute tensions between critical thinking and the market. The training of architects who will likely be working in different contexts requires new frames of reference and paradigms. What competencies should the practitioner of architecture possess to bridge technical and managerial specializations in light of competitiveness and nuances of culture? How do the practices and performances of the profession take into account the hybrids and collaborations that define the broad scope of projects? The dilemma of competency lies in the rigorous study of the conditions and processes of architecture, configuring and situating skills and capabilities.
