Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offsetted widmet sich der Frage nach der Wertschöpfung von Natur. Das Buch des Künstlerduos Cooking Sections enthüllt Formen der Enteignung, die sich durch den Schutz – und nicht nur ihre Zerstörung – der natürlichen Umwelt aktuell verstärkt ereignen. Durch eine Reihe von künstlerischen und architektonischen Interventionen knüpft Offsetted an die weltweiten Kämpfe für Klimagerechtigkeit an und stellt den Neoliberalismus als Retter seiner eigenen ökologischen Widersprüche in Frage. So beleuchtet das Projekt beispielsweise Naturschutzmodelle, die auf »natürlichem Kapital« basieren, und schlägt neue räumliche Strategien zur De-Finanzierung der Umwelt vor. Neben einer Fotodokumentation und künstlerischen Arbeiten von Cooking Sections versammelt das Buch zahlreiche Beiträge interdisziplinär tätiger Kunstschaffenden und Forschenden.

Download or read book Green Social Work written by Lena Dominelli and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-10-29 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social work is the profession that claims to intervene to enhance people's well-being. However, social workers have played a low-key role in environmental issues that increasingly impact on people's well-being, both locally and globally. This compelling new contribution confronts this topic head-on, examining environmental issues from a social work perspective. Lena Dominelli draws attention to the important voice of practitioners working on the ground in the aftermath of environmental disasters, whether these are caused by climate change, industrial accidents or human conflict. The author explores the concept of ‘green social work' and its role in using environmental crises to address poverty and other forms of structural inequalities, to obtain more equitable allocations of limited natural resources and to tackle global socio-political forces that have a damaging impact upon the quality of life of poor and marginalized populations at local levels. The resolution of these matters is linked to community initiatives that social workers can engage in to ensure that the quality of life of poor people can be enhanced without costing the Earth. This important book will appeal to those in the fields of social work, social policy, sociology and human geography. It powerfully reveals how environmental issues are an integral part of social work's remit if it is to retain its currency in the modern world and emphasize its relevance to the social issues that societies have to resolve in the twenty-first century.

Download or read book People and Environment written by Gareth Jones and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-11 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People and Physical Environment, A Global Approach provides an introduction to the main areas of environmental concern for geographers, environmental scientists and planners at the beginning of the twenty-first century. These include: Pollution of the atmosphere and its impact on our climate; The exploitation of the oceans; Management and supply of fresh water; Degradation of the land, and Biodiversity, and the need to maintain genetic diversity. The book argues that our knowledge and understanding of the environment is now so great that we can predict with considerable accuracy where the skills of science and technology need to be focussed in order to prevent severe environmental damage from occurring. Achieving successful management of the environment has become dependent upon active participation of a society prepared to pay for a high quality of life and the willingness of our elected politicians to legislate and enforce the very highest standards of environmental management. This book will be essential reading for students of geography, environmental studies/science and land use planners and will also contribute valuable information for climatology, biogeography, hydrology, land economy and forestry students.
