Stanford University Press Faces of Aging
Book SynopsisThe chapters in this volume put a human face on aging issues, and consider multiple dimensions of the aging experience with a focus on Japan.Trade Review"Yoshiko Matsumoto has brought together a highly diverse group of scholars to put a human face on issues of aging by attending to individual experiences that are frequently hidden behind statistics and stereotypes. Although her volume focuses on lives of the elderly in Japan, its myriad insights are relevant to all who are energized by an interdisciplinary approach to the particularities of aging." -- Heidi E. Hamilton, Professor and Chair, Department of Linguistics"Japan today is at a demographic crossroads unprecedented in history. It has the longest life expectancy and it is the most rapidly aging society in the world today. This timely and innovative volume is an important intellectual contribution to this critical issue facing many postindustrial nations. It creatively brings together multidisciplinary contributors from the humanities and the social sciences to medicine and caregiving, to shed light on new ways of growing old in Japan." -- Akiko Hashimoto"An outstanding addition to the literature on an increasingly visible and growing segment of the Japanese population that enriches our understanding of the aging process as it is lived by real people, rather than as it is conceptualized by policy makers." -- Janet S. Shibamoto-Smith, Professor of Anthropology, University of California * Davis *

Beacon Press What Were Fighting for Now is Each Other
Book SynopsisAn urgent, on-the-ground look at some of the “new American radicals” who have laid everything on the line to build a stronger climate justice movementThe science is clear: catastrophic climate change, by any humane definition, is upon us. At the same time, the fossil-fuel industry has doubled down, economically and politically, on business as usual. We face an unprecedented situation—a radical situation. As an individual of conscience, how will you respond?In 2010, journalist Wen Stephenson woke up to the true scale and urgency of the catastrophe bearing down on humanity, starting with the poorest and most vulnerable everywhere, and confronted what he calls “the spiritual crisis at the heart of the climate crisis.” Inspired by others who refused to retreat into various forms of denial and fatalism, he walked away from his career in mainstream media and became an activist, joining those working to build a transformative movement for c

Beacon Press The Real Cost of Fracking How Americas Shale Gas
Book SynopsisA pharmacologist and a veterinarian pull back the curtain on the human and animal health effects of hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking” Across the country, fracking—the extraction of natural gas by hydraulic fracturing—is being touted as the nation’s answer to energy independence and a fix for a flagging economy. Drilling companies assure us that the process is safe, politicians push through drilling legislation without a serious public-health debate, and those who speak out are marginalized, their silence purchased by gas companies and their warnings about the dangers of fracking stifled. The Real Cost of Fracking pulls back the curtain on how this toxic process endangers the environment and harms people, pets, and livestock. Michelle Bamberger, a veterinarian, and Robert Oswald, a pharmacologist, combine their expertise to show how contamination at drilling sites translates into ill health and heartbreak

Ohio University Press Standing Our Ground
Book SynopsisStanding Our Ground: Women, Environmental Justice, and the Fight to End Mountaintop Removal examines women’s efforts to end mountaintop removal coal mining in West Virginia.Trade Review“What a magnificent book! The author skillfully weaves theoretical discussions into a fast-paced narrative. Standing Our Ground is well written, well researched, and on solid theoretical ground. The book offers a unique lens: coal is a highly masculinized world, and Barry opens up a view of women’s roles and activism inside this world, which is often closed to outsiders.”“Barry exposes the coal industry's harsh effects on working-class women in Appalachia, revealing the symbiosis between gender oppression and environmental destruction. No passive victims, the women she profiles have become leading advocates for alternative energy.” * Ms. Magazine *“Standing Our Ground will appeal to a wide variety of scholars interested in intersectional analyses of social and environmental problems…at a time when so much of the climate change discourse is focused on broad solutions at the level of global environmental policy, Barry’s book is a crucial look into the lives of individuals living day to day with the consequences of our lifestyle and policy choices.” * Environmental Values *“(Standing Our Ground) highlights negatively stereotyped working-class white and nonwhite women in a ‘gendered articulation’ that speaks to diverse issues of class and disenfranchisement at a ‘global crossroads’ in history.” * Choice *“Standing Our Ground: Women, Environmental Justice, and the Fight to End Mountaintop Removal places the anti-mountaintop removal struggle squarely as a global issue with human and environmental costs. Barry successfully illustrates how local struggles in central Appalachia are indicative of a larger global movement for environmental justice.” * author of Bringing Down the Mountains: The Impact of Mountaintop Removal on Southern West Virginia Communities *
