Taylor & Francis Political Ecologies of Meat
Book SynopsisLivestock production worldwide is increasing rapidly, in part due to economic growth and demand for meat in industrializing countries. Yet there are many concerns about the sustainability of increased meat production and consumption, from perspectives including human health, animal welfare, climate change and environmental pollution. This book tackles the key issues of contemporary meat production and consumption through a lens of political ecology, which emphasizes the power relations producing particular social, economic and cultural interactions with non-human nature. Three main topics are addressed: the political ecology of global livestock production trends; changes in production systems around the world and their implications for environmental justice; and existing and emerging governance strategies for meat production and consumption systems and their implications. Case studies of different systems at varying scales are included, drawn from Asia, Africa, the AmeTrade Review"In a world where food has become the focal point of environmental politics, it’s high time for an unflinching survey of meat. From the economy of farmed fish and livestock genetics to the politics of rainforest ranching and Halal slaughter, Emel and Neo’s superlative collection has something to surprise and engage everyone: researchers, activists and consumers." – Paul Robbins, Director of the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA and author of Lawn People and Political Ecology. "With meat squarely on the public agenda, this book could not come at a better time. Constituting a range of case studies on the many dimensions of industrial meat production, this book pushes beyond the simple debates of meat or no meat and asks readers to think more deeply of how we as human animals want to live with our non-human animal co-inhabitants." – Julie Guthman, University of California – Santa Cruz, USA and author of Agrarian Dreams: the Paradox of Organic Farming in California and Weighing In: Obesity, Food Justice and the Limits of Capitalism. "If the project of animal geography is to make non-humans and our relations with them visible and accountable in our socio-spatial understanding, then this excellent volume does just that, placing the industrialised lives and deaths of farmed livestock, without alibi, at the centre of a critical bio-political ecology." – Henry Buller, University of Exeter, UK, appointed member of the Farm Animal Welfare Committee (FAWC) and Chair of the FAWC/Defra Welfare at Killing group."By broaching topics of systematic exploitation and injustice within the livestock industry, the book brings a multitude of environmental, political, and economic contradictions into the spotlight. Perhaps exposure is the first step towards advocacy." – Heide K. Bruckner, University of Graz, AustriaTable of ContentsForeword Alice J. Hovorka 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Energy and Society
Book SynopsisEnergy and Society is the first major text to provide an extensive critical treatment of energy issues informed by recent research on energy in the social sciences. Written in an engaging and accessible style it draws new thinking on uneven development, consumption, vulnerability and transition together to illustrate the social significance of energy systems in the global North and South. The book features case studies, examples, discussion questions, activities, recommended reading and more, to facilitate its use in teaching. Energy and Society deploys contemporary geographical concepts and approaches but is not narrowly disciplinary. Its critical perspective highlights connections between energy and significant socio-economic and political processes, such as globalisation, urban isation, international development and social justice, and connects important issues that are often treated in isolation, such as resource availability, energy security, energy access and low-carbon transition.Co-authored by leading researchers and based on current research and thinking in the social sciences, Energy and Society presents a distinctive geographical approach to contemporary energy issues. It is an essential resource for upperlevel undergraduates and Masterâs students in geography, environmental studies, urban studies, energy studies and related fields.Trade Review"With an extraordinarily impressive list of prominent authors, Energy and Society offers a critical yet much needed interdisciplinary approach that is richly detailed and meticulously researched. Although intended primarily for students and geographers, its contributions are by no means limited to those spheres. Everyone concerned about topics as diverse as resources, energy landscapes, security, sustainability, poverty, and transitions ought to read this book." - Benjamin K. Sovacool, Professor of Energy Policy, University of Sussex, UK"A timely and much-needed critical examination of energy across the globe. This innovative textbook draws together cutting edge social science approaches to examining the social, cultural, and technical dynamics of energy in a compelling and accessible manner. As such, Energy and Society: A Critical Perspective is must-read for both students and researchers seeking to understand the changing worlds of energy." - Conor Harrison, Assistant Professor, University of South Carolina, USA"Energy and Society provides an insightful and resolutely socio-technical perspective on contemporary energy dilemmas, taking cutting edge research from the social sciences – especially geography, science & technology studies, history and sociology – and making it accessible to undergraduate and graduate students in a variety of programs. Deftly moving from the scale of households to cities and transnational infrastructures, the authors place justice at the center of questions about energy, encouraging readers to consider who benefits and who bears the burdens of energy systems – both those that currently shape our everyday lives and those that we debate for the future." - Jessica M. Smith, Associate Professor, Engineering, Design & Society Division, Colorado School of Mines, USA"Energy and Society is a brilliant contribution to scholarship at the intersection of technology and society, demonstrating the importance of a social science analysis of energy, an area historically deemed to be purely technical. The authors skilfully weave together a number of different topics to show how energy is an important matter of global social concern. Energy and Society provides an incredibly useful text for teaching, as well as a call to action for more established energy researchers through its laudable focus on social justice." - Heather Lovell, University of Tasmania, AustraliaTable of ContentsList of Figures List of Tables List of Definitions Introduction: a critical perspective on energy-society relations PART 1 ENERGY, SPACES AND FLOWS Chapter 1 Resource landscapes Chapter 2 Economic landscapes Chapter 3 Infrastructural landscapes Chapter 4 Geopolitical landscapes PART 2 SECURITIES, VULNERABILITIES AND JUSTICE Chapter 5 Energy poverty and vulnerability Chapter 6 Energy consumption, inefficiency and excess Chapter 7 Energy controversies and conflicts Chapter 8 Energy securities PART 3 TRANSITIONS, GOVERNANCE AND FUTURES Chapter 9 Past transitions Chapter 10 Future transitions Index

Taylor & Francis Ltd Media and Development Routledge Perspectives on
Book SynopsisAt the start of the 21st century, the relationship between media and development has never felt more important. Following a series of media revolutions' throughout the developing world beginning with the advent of cheap transistor radio sets in the late-1960s, followed by the rapid expansion of satellite television networks in the 1990s, and the more recent explosion of mobile telephony, social media and the internet a majority of people living in the Global South now have access to a wide variety of Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs), and live in media saturated environments. Yet how can radio, television and mobile phones be most effectively harnessed towards the goals of purposive economic, social, and political change? Should they be seen as primarily a provider of channels through which useful information' can be delivered to target populations in the hope that such information will alter those populations' existing behaviours? Or should they be Table of ContentsAcknowledgements Introduction: Media and Development, A Complicated Relationship 1. The Rise and Rise of Media for Development 2.
