Conservation of the environment Books

Book SynopsisWe spend a good amount of time in our lives managing waste: washing ourselves, taking out the trash, sorting recyclables, going to the toilet, deleting e-mail, picking out old clothes to give to charity, filling the compost bin, multitasking to save time, clipping coupons to save money. But waste is much more than what we want to get rid of or avoid. Far beyond terms like rubbish, trash, or litter, the idea of waste can provoke a minefield of emotions and moral anxieties. Gay Hawkins explores the ethical significance of waste in everyday lifefrom the broadest conceptions of waste and loss to how the environmental movement has affected the ways we think about garbage, the ways we deal with it, and the ways in which we view others'' reactions to waste. Do we feel virtuous for reusing a plastic bag? Do we disdain those who throw away aluminum cans? At what point does personal waste become public responsibility? How does this public conscience affect policy? Placing these ideas into histoTrade ReviewThose who read this welcome addition to the field will be treated to a book that is well written, often clever, and surprisingly insightful. -- Grant J. Rich * PsycCRITIQUES *A broad-ranging and highly readable book. * The Geographical Journal *Hawkins explores the intersections of habits, bodies, ethics, and waste matter, toggling her discourse between acknowledging the material reality of various wastes and the views derived from cultural theory. Presents alternative approaches to waste in today's world. * CHOICE *This book is incredibly stimulating and is carried very lightly by Hawkins’ accessible and engaging writing. The Ethics of Waste is essential reading for anybody interested in contemporary approaches to waste but it is also an important addition to the sociological literature on consumption, practice and environment. * Sociology *Table of ContentsChapter 1 Preface Chapter 2 1 An Overflowing Bin Chapter 3 2 Plastic Bags Chapter 4 3 Shit Chapter 5 4 A Dumped Car Chapter 6 5 Empty Bottles Chapter 7 6 Worms Chapter 8 Bibliography

Book SynopsisSynopsis coming soon.......Trade Review“A remarkable book, both biologically absorbing and humanly rich, and one that should be read by every ecologically concerned American.” —John Fowles “Animal Kingdom Of Wolves and Men is not only the best popular account of an animal I have read in a long time, but also something new — a bridge between books of the past and those of the future, which, it is hoped, will incorporate and expand the perceptions so eloquently treated here.” —George Schaller “A splendid, beautiful book.” —Edmund Fuller, Wall Street Journal “Fascinating....His book has a wealth of observation, mythology and mysticism about wolves that adds a colorful part to the still unfinished mosaic that defines the wolf.” —Bayard Webster, New Fork Times Book Review “Eloquent....His own patient effort to understand a despised, feared and heavily mythologized beast induces a shiver, of strangeness, the sign of fresh, original work.” —Walter Clemons, Newsweek “Unusually informative and sensitive.” —Robert Kirsch, Los Angeles Times “Haunting....has something of value to say to all of us.” —Boston Globe “Brilliant...a work of intelligence, dedication and beauty, deserving the widest possible attention not only for the sake of wolves but also for the sake of men.”—Whitley Streiber, Washington PostTable of ContentsCONTENTSIntroductionI: CANIS LUPUS LINNAEUS1.

Book SynopsisThe distinguished environmentalists in this collection offer an in-depth analysis and call to advocacy for community-based natural resource management (CBNRM). Their overview of this transnational movement reveals important links between environmental management and social justice agendas for sustainable use of resources by local communities. In this volume, leaders who have been instrumental in creating and shaping CBNRM describe their model programs; the countermapping movement and collective claims to land and resources; legal strategies for gaining rights to resources and territories; biodiversity conservation and land stabilization priorities; and environmental justice and minority rights. This book will be of value to instructors, practitioners and activists in anthropology, cultural geography, environmental justice, environmental policy, political ecology, indigenous rights, conservation biology, and CBNRM.Trade ReviewThis collection of original essays powerfully demonstrates the vital role communities can play in conserving nature and resources; it also clearly articulates the dangers community actors face in wresting a place at the negotiating table. Based on research in more than twelve countries, the volume provides a feast of real world insights into the transnational movement called community-based conservation. It is the starting point for anyone interested in the shifting landscape of debates on conservation. -- Arun Agrawal, University of MichiganCommunities and Conservation is a solid effort to debate and document the historical development, political shape, and complexity of community-based natural resource management. It asks hard questions of all the actors involved in people and conservation issues. By challenging our understandings of social justice, cultural respect, and community, this book should be required reading for all conservation organizations, development institutions, and government agencies. -- Thomas O. McShane, senior conservation advisor, World Wildlife Fund InternationalA unique and necessary volume. The editors perform a vital service in assembling this stellar cast from the scholarly, activist, and donor communities. The dialogue here is unprecedented and much-needed. This lively and engaging book is itself an example of the coalition-building the authors propose—a world-changing traffic of ideas and practices across geographical, political, and professional borders. -- Hugh Raffles, University of California, Santa CruzCommunities and Conservation provides a bracing challenge to advocates of both conservation of biodiversity and the rights of local peoples. The terrain of conflict and cooperation between these two communities has not been well mapped, and self-promoting arguments of elision, laden with shibboleths, are too common. If either side is to succeed, let alone if the numerous areas of agreement are to be achieved, questions such as raised in this perceptive, important book must be understood and addressed. -- Kent H. Redford, Wildlife Conservation SocietyThe book speaks to a range of topics such as social movements, transnationalism, and environmentalism. For historians, anthropologists, sociologists, or political scientists interested in these issues, this book will be 'good to think with' due to its combination of rich case studies with nuanced theoretical insights. The origins and history of the transnational network explored here is not easily explained, and this book is as much an analysis and archive of its emergence, as it is about community-based natural resource management per se. * Comparative Studies in Society and History *Community is what Raymond Williams called a 'keyword', a sort of semantic building block whose meanings are bound up with the problems the word is being used to address. Communities and Conservation explores both the historical and institutional semantics of community and how community has become a building block—what they call a charismatic program—for the making of contemporary conservation and resource management. Residing within its institutional perimeters are subtle forms of rule, identity, discipline, and power, and also, as the authors show, the potential to challenge conventional models of governance and sustainable development. An indispensable collection for any understanding of the intersections of social justice and advocacy in the realm of natural resource management. -- Michael Watts, director, Institute of International Studies, University of California, BerkeleyThis collection consists of well-written and powerful chapters, which will serve as references for students, researchers and practitioners in years to come. -- Tor A.

Book SynopsisThis exciting new reader in environmental history provides a framework for understanding the relations between ecosystems and world-systems over time. Alf Hornborg, J. R. McNeill, and Joan Martinez-Alier have brought together a group of the prominent social scientists, historians, and geographical scientists to provide a historical overview of the ecological dimension of global economic processes. Readers are challenged to integrate studies of the Earth-system with studies of the world-system, and to reconceptualize the relations between human beings and their environment, as well as the challenges of global sustainability.Trade ReviewThe contributors to Rethinking Environmental History argue for a truly global, historical, and transdisciplinary approach to environmental history, even when analyzing the most localized instances of degradation. They show how and why environmental degradations have been uneven throughout history—and in the process employ, critique, and extend world-systems analysis. -- Thomas D. Hall, Lester M. Jones Professor of Sociology, DePauw University, and editor of A World-Systems ReaderThis book offers new perspectives on global environmental problems at a time when many of these issues are discussed and taught in a historical and political-economic vacuum. It is coherent in theme, interdisciplinary in scope, historically innovative, and geographically far-reaching. A 'world-system' perspective provides a thread for a multifaceted view of distributive aspects of our interlinked economic and environmental histories. Rethinking Environmental History offers carefully crafted studies and provocative essays by some of the most respected scholars (and best writers!) on the topic. This volume brings much-needed depth to the scholarship of globalization and environment, and inauguates a new phase of inquiry in political ecology, environmental history, and environmental sciences in general. -- Eduardo S. Brondizio, Indiana University, BloomingtonEnvironmental history is new, exciting, and protean—a veritable stem cell of scholarly inquiry. To sample it while its insights are fresh and provoke new views of even your own origins, read Rethinking Environmental History. -- Alfred W. Crosby, University of Texas at AustinThis is the best overview we have of political ecology, which tries to link environmental change to political economy and social injustice. Through a set of richly layered and well-argued chapters, the authors demonstrate how empires and powerful nation-states have long enriched themselves and protected their own environments by extracting wealth from faraway places. These authors restore both ecology and economy to the center of environmental history. All historians and environmental policy makers should read their contributotions carefully and incorporate their ecological perspective into our understanding of the past. -- Donald E. Worster, University of KansasWe like to think that we are free agents and that everything is possible. Yet technological development today is highly uneven, just as it was throughout the past. All development is subject to various ecological constraints. How actors deal with these constraints and who ends up bearing their burden are often more complex processes than they may seem from local perspectives. The chapters in Hornborg, McNeill, and Martinez-Alier help illustrate these multifaceted problems in a number of fascinating and globally conscious ways. -- William Thompson, Indiana University, Bloomington, and past president of the International Studies AssociationTable of ContentsIntroduction: Environmental History as Political Ecology Part I The Environment in World-System History: Tracing Social Processes in Nature 1.

Book SynopsisThis work examines the relevance of traditional Islamic thought and practices for a lasting solution to the current environmental crisis. The book argues that only a revival of the traditional worldview which perceives all entities of nature as signs of God can effectively respond to the crisis our planet faces.Trade ReviewDr. Tarik Quadir’s present work on environmentalism is perhaps one of the best studies on the subject to have appeared in recent years. Through his thorough exposition of the environmental philosophy of Seyyed Hossein Nasr . . . and his spiritual approach to the contemporary environmental crisis, Dr. Quadir has succeeded in articulating a veritable alternative to mainstream approaches to environmentalism. -- Osman Bakar, chair professor and director, Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Centre of Islamic Studies, Universiti Brunei DarussalamQuadir has produced a brilliant work of research far transcending the book’s focus on technology, science, and environmentalism. . . . Accompanied by a plethora of notes [from] diverse sources, Quadir offers us a highly nuanced, intricately crafted investigation of the philosophical and ethical thinking underlying the environmentalist issue in modern Islam and the contemporary West. -- Leonard Lewisohn, PhD, Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies, University of Exeter[Regarding] the disclosure of the spiritual roots of the environmental crisis, it is no exaggeration to say that Seyyed Hossein Nasr is a visionary: for over half a century, he has been calling out on behalf of Mother Nature, articulating a vision of ecological harmony, and eliciting from many who share that vision a spiritual change of direction, a metanoia. . . .

Book SynopsisThis book addresses the climate change crisis through scientific, historical, and spiritual lenses. Using Bernard Lonergan's functional specialization method, developed to facilitate collaboration among specialists, Raymaker and Durrani not only analyze data and rebut the claims of climate change deniers, but also look for inspiration to motivate and coordinate needed action by persons, groups, and nations. The book is wide-ranging in its historical examination of leaders who have shown us ways to work together constructively in finding solutions to problems. Lonergan's method helps us study the past with a view to change the future. To do so, we must first reform ourselves.Table of ContentsIntroduction Part I: Putting Climate Change Issues and Lonergan’s Method in Perspective Bernard Lonergan’s Approach to Collaborative Networking: Universal Values in the Face of Our Environmental and Other Crises; Toward Possible Solutions Historical Background to Insight’s Cognitional Theory: Its Originality and Importance Method in Theology’s Eight Functional Specialties (FS) and Its Two Phases How MiT’s Diphase Eight FS Can Open Up New Horizons in Climate Studies Rationale behind Method in Theology’s Eight FS Being Treated within the Two Phases Part II: Analyzing Our Present Climate Crises with a View to Sketch a Remedy First Functional Specialty: Research and Gathering Relevant Data on Climate Change Second Functional Specialty: Analyzing and Interpreting the Data on Climate Changes Third Functional Specialty: Historical Perspectives on Climate Changes: Some Implications Fourth Functional Specialty: Dealing with the Implications of Climate Changes: The Strategic Roles of Operators, Dialectic, Wisdom, and Ethics The Pivotal Notion of “Complementarity” in Lonergan: Transition to Part III Part III: Seeking Effective Ways to Remedy Impending Disasters Caused by Climate Changes (By Way of the Mediated Phase’s Last Four Functional Specialties) Monstrous Storms and a Need for Far-Reaching Remedies: A GEM-FS Key Fifth Functional Specialty: Reinstating the Foundations Neglected by Many Sixth Functional Specialty: Policies for Implementing Universal Values Today Seventh Functional Specialty: Dealing with Systemic Shortcomings in Caring for Our Climates Climate Changes and Conflicts If the Changes Become Too Great to Reverse—Some Proposals Eighth Functional Specialty: Sharing Human Universal Values across the Divides Postscript Appendix I: GEM Conjugates: How They Rethink Galileo Appendix II: GEM Conjugates: How They Rethink Aristotle Appendix III: The Notion of Judgment in Newman and Lonergan Appendix IV: How Monsanto Is Planning to Profit from Climate Changes Appendix V: Summarizing Notions of the Cosmic Common Good in Aquinas and Scheid Appendix VI: Multinational Corporations (MNC’s) Appendix VII: Monsanto and Reaching Climate Danger Threshold by 2036 Bibliography
