Book Synopsis Understanding the Global Environment by : Samir Dasgupta
Download or read book Understanding the Global Environment written by Samir Dasgupta and published by Pearson Education India. This book was released on 2009 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalization is often discussed in terms of its ecological ramifications. Yet, while ecological imbalance is today one of the greatest threats to mankind, globalization is also a reality that is here to stay. The volume, therefore, seeks to address how globalizing and environmental interests can be reconciled. The essays in this volume state that globalization can work both in favour of and against the environment. The major issues discussed in this topical volume are, how globalization can be used to promote environmental reforms; the role of individuals, private organizations and governments in keeping environmental degradation in check and in promoting environmental reform; globalization and ecological inequality; women, the environment and globalization; changing nature of environmental movements; overpopulation and the ecology; the relation between the ecology and the economy; and the effects of global climate changes.
Book Synopsis Ecological Futures by : Sing C. Chew
Download or read book Ecological Futures written by Sing C. Chew and published by Rowman Altamira. This book was released on 2008 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ecological Futures, the final book in Sing C. Chew's trilogy on world ecological degradation, proposes that our own era exhibits ecological conditions similar to those of the past. The climate changes, environmental crises, mass population migrations, and socioeconomic disorganization we find in our globalized world also characterized the Late Bronze Age and the period following the fall of the Roman Empire. Given such historical parallels, can history tell us what to expect? Analyzing past trends, Chew identifies a set of long-term structural changes common to previous systemic crises and suggests possible outcomes. These "possible futures" include the collapse of systems, territories, informational technologies, and communities in an era of scarce resources, political reorganization, and globalization.
Book Synopsis World Ecological Degradation by : Sing C. Chew
Download or read book World Ecological Degradation written by Sing C. Chew and published by Rowman Altamira. This book was released on 2001 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deforestation, soil runoff, salination, pollution. While recurrent themes of the contemporary world, they are not new to us. In this broad sweeping review of the environmental impacts of human settlement and development worldwide over the past 5,000 years, Sing C. Chew shows that these processes are as old as civilization itself. With examples ranging from Ancient Mesopotamia to Malaya, Mycenaean Greece to Ming China, Chew shows that the processes of population growth, intensive resource accumulation, and urbanization in ancient and modern societies almost universally bring on ecological disaster, which often contributes to the decline and fall of that society. He then turns his eye to the development of the modern European world-system and its impact on the environment. Challenging us to change these long-term trends, Chew also traces the existence of environmental conservation ideas and movements over the span of 5,000 years. Can we do it? Look at Chew's evidence of the past five millennia and decide. Ideal for courses in environmental history, anthropology, and sociology, and world-systems theory.

Book excerpt: We live in a digitalized world that is experiencing environmental changes, scarcity of natural resources, global pandemics, mass migrations, and burgeoning global populations. In Ecology, Artificial Intelligence, and Virtual Reality, Sing C. Chew proposes that we meet these challenges by examining the connected global world we live in and by considering the advances that have been made in digitalization, miniaturization, dematerialization, artificial intelligence, virtual and augmented realities, and machine learning, which have increased our socioeconomic and political productivity. Chew outlines potential structural avenues to address these challenges, suggests pragmatic choices to ease living during these chaotic crisis conditions, and outlines solutions that will enable us to traverse systemic crises.

Book excerpt: In the far future, a nuclear war forces the population of Los Angeles to retreat underground. Thinking life on the surface to be impossible, the survivors batten down for a longor possibly indefinitestay. They name their new home Low Angeles and begin to build lives underground. After over a century of work, they have created a city that even the Los Angeles of yore could not hope to emulate. Jensen Stewart is an underachieving Low Angeles teenager from a supportive family. His average life is shaken to its core when he is accused of murder, a rare crime in modern day Low Angeles. When he is sentenced to death for a crime that he did not commit, he pleads exile in a last-ditch effort to save his life. He is sent out into the unknown with nothing more than a HAZMAT suit and a small supply of food and water. Believing that he will die in a world made lifeless by war, he is surprised to find that life still survives on the surface as if it were thousands of years agoliterally. Knights on horseback keep order, while peasants work for the lords who, in turn, serve the all powerful king. When they said nuclear war would send us back to the Dark Ages, they were not kidding. How will Jensen survive this strange new world, and will he live long enough to find justice?
