Amsterdam University Press Water in Times of Climate Change: A Values-driven
Book SynopsisThis book on water and climate change goes beyond the usual and predictable analyses, by bringing religion and values into a discussion that is often dominated by technocratic solutions. The three case studies of Jakarta, Cape Town, and Amsterdam demonstrate the challenges of water management in urban areas and the role religion can play in addressing them. With representatives from science, politics, economics, and religion, as well as young voices, the book stimulates a values-driven dialogue on issues of water in times of climate change.Trade ReviewThis book is built on a unique process of consultation which took heart, mind and body into account – a linkage of wisdom shared by academics, policy makers, and ordinary citizens. The narratives in the book reflect the processes, the realities and the advocacy for change much needed in today’s pandemic-riddled world of inequities. The theme of water is that of life itself. Intrinsic to all health: planetary, governance, and urban and rural human realities, water defines the essence of our lives and the imperatives of our individual and institutional accountability for today – and for a tomorrow. - Azza Karam, Secretary General of Religions for Peace International and Professor of Religion and Development at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam Water is life’s enabler, the catalyst to build a better future for all. Water brings us all together, forging inspiring coalitions, empowering all across society. Water is about us humans, it changes us, from within. This book shows the need to embrace these different values of water. It inspires the global water dialogue and helps us strengthen our water partnerships, for hope and the power to change course. - Henk Ovink, Special Envoy for International Water Affairs for the Netherlands People of faith believe that water is a source of life, a symbol of cleansing, sometimes even sacred. In reality the opposite is often true: water may be scarce, stolen or toxic. Water may give life and provide sanitation, but in South Africa we also face realities of extreme drought and children drowning in pit toilets. This volume is unique, as it brings together civil society, religion, government, business, and academia to find ways of working together to address these tensions and challenges around water and climate change. - Prof. Ernst Conradie, Department of Religion and Theology, University of the Western CapeTable of ContentsIntroduction (Prof. Ruard Ganzevoort) Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew (Dr John Chryssavgis, Jan Jorrit Hasselaar) 1.

Amsterdam University Press Urban Movements and Climate Change: Loss, Damage
Book SynopsisFrom the social uprisings in Santiago de Chile to the radical municipalism experiments in Naples, this volume takes the reader on an intellectual journey at the frontlines across global South and global North where climate breakdown meets social innovations. While the effects of the climate crisis are becoming more extreme and tangible across the globe with every passing day, urban social movements and their radical strategies to resist climate injustice often remain concealed from sight. Contributors to this volume ask how would it be to look at the politics of urban loss-and-damage not from the highly securitized zones of climate summits, but from favelas in Rio de Janeiro, flood-prone communities in São Paulo, urban gardens in Naples, or neighborhoods resisting climate gentrification in New York City? This book explores diverse worlds and praxis of urban social movements resisting the rising tides of climate crisis and social injustice.Table of ContentsList of figures Acknowledgements Foreword: From Occupy Climate Change! to Confronting Loss and Damage - David Naguib Pellow 1.

Kapon Editions Astikés Geographíes: Topía kai Kathemerinés
Book SynopsisThis book explores the social construction of relationship between commuting (everyday mobility) and urban landscape, from ecological, social and psychological perspectives. It combines different concepts like: "urban eco-landscape", "soundscape" (urban geography, social anthropology, cultural studies, landscape and soundscape ecology, remote sensing) and "identity of mobility" (sociology, environmental and social psychology). The research took place in different cities and peripheries in Greece, France, Mexico and India. The book offers a methodology for landscape research and not another theory about landscape studies. It is aimed at a wide readership and especially for students and researchers in the social sciences (geography, sociology, anthropology and cultural studies), in architecture and in urban and regional planning. In a world which proclaims the protection of landscape, it required us to ponder the question: what is it we wish to protect: the history, the memory, the culture, the ecosystem, the landscape as common or as commodity? In a world which also declares the idea of increasing commuting as a characteristic of social improvement another question arises: how was this idea constructed, whom does it really benefit? How were the places of exclusion constructed by means of isolation from auto-mobility and through the construction of a controversial model of equating a slow pace of movement with so-called 'underdevelopment'? Finally, the definitions of the landscape (whether they come from a common everyday use of the term or from a model derived from the social or natural sciences, which are perceived as objective representations) demonstrate on a daily basis a reconstruction related to socially and culturally constructed positions and perceptions one already has about several concepts in everyday life. 112 illus, 100+ colour.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Ecological Modeling For Mitigating Environmental
Book SynopsisLakes, wetlands and coastal regions provide essential services critical to the survival of human, wildlife and, by and large, the ecosystems, which are constantly threatened by anthropogenic activities, environmental degradation and climate change. Marine resources, particularly mangroves and corals, are vulnerable to coastal developments, including coastal reclamation, and human settlements that discharge large quantities of wastes into the seas. Climate change impacts, such as increased salt intrusion and sea level rise, may additionally induce regime shifts detrimental to these delicate ecosystems. And the warmer climate has increased the frequency, duration and intensity of catastrophic coastal disturbances, implicating profound uncertainty to the sustainability of coastal infrastructures and resources essential for human populations.This book is written for students, researchers and practitioners pursuing teaching and research related to sustainable development, and the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs). It provides a unique approach on sustainable development, viewed from the perspectives of providing solutions via model simulation, to solve sustainable development issues related to human population growth, and impacts due to climate change. It provides the scientific knowledge and technical skills necessary to achieve valuable insights for mitigating the predicted adverse impacts and for developing sustainable development strategies, incorporating climate and environmental adaptations.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Energy And International War: From Babylon To
Book SynopsisWill international wars where energy resources play a central role continue to hold sway over life and death for industrialized nations, or is this a transient phase in the evolution of industrial societies? This book answers this question by tracing the history of energy and conflict from antiquity, through the epic hot and cold wars of the twentieth century, to expected outcome of the war in Iraq. It points the way to the end of wars over control of fossil fuels, and demonstrates why these may be the last major international wars over other resources as well.This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the future of energy use or international conflict. Readers will find in it an illuminating overview of the sweep of historical events. The book further provides a compelling explanation of how a thorough understanding of the evolutionary direction of these events challenges the conventional wisdom that resource wars are endemic to the nature of industrial society, thus offering a fresh view on one of the most important challenges of our time.Table of ContentsCoal and Non-Energy Minerals: Energy, Transport, and War Through 1815; Steamer Coal in the Colonial Era; Franco-Prussian War Sets the Stage; Coal and Iron in the Great War; Coal in Asia Before WWII; Coal, Steel, Customs, and the EU; Conflict Over Other Solid Mineral Resources; An End to Conflict Over Solid Mineral Resources?; Oil: Oil and Commerce; Oil from WWI to WWII; Oil and World War II; Before the Iran-Iraq War; Iran and Iraq; Gulf War I; Sanctions and Inspections; Iraq After 9/11/01; Oil and War; Uranium, Natural Gas, and Renewables: France and Uranium; French Neocolonialism in Africa; Natural Gas Resources and Transport; Liquefied Natural Gas and Security Developments; Hydropower; New Renewable Energy Sources; Conflict or Cooperation?; The Future: Energy for the Future; It's About Oil; The Future of International War.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Environmental, Health And Humanity Issues In The
Book SynopsisIn order to preserve this world for future generations, we must strive for sustainable development — a development that meets the needs of the present generation without compromising options and resources for future generations to meet their own needs. However, some scientists suspect that recent large floods, heat waves and drought in Central Europe and the Down Danubian region are indicators of more severe hazardous events in the future. Increased pollution in the atmosphere is causing gradual increase of the temperature. The environment is becoming increasingly endangered, especially as humans encroach on and modify fragile environments. Based on papers presented at the 9th International Symposium on Interdisciplinary Regional Research (ISIRR 2007) ON 21–22 June 2007 in Novi Sad (Serbia), this book covers, for the first time, the complex field of technological, agricultural and developmental horizons in natural resources, medical problems, ecological modeling, and relations of humanity issues and society in the Down Danubian region.Table of ContentsMedical Issues; Agricultural and Food Technology Issues; Ecological Issues; Humanity Issues.

Information Age Publishing Contemporary Perspectives on Research on
Book SynopsisImmigration is when individuals leave their country of residency to permanently settle in a different country. According to the United Nations (UN) Department of Economic and Social Affairs, in 2017 a cumulative of 258 million persons were residents in a country that differed from their own. The September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and the increase in prohibited immigration impelled the United States (US) to propose a number of immigration laws. In 2012, the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) established the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy, which allowed undocumented immigrants to work legally without being deported as long as they maintain a useful and lawful status. Approximately 800,000 immigrants attained DACA standing, permitting them to legally work and go to school in the US.Furthermore, the immigration law of 1965 prompted an excessive entrance of multicultural immigrants to the United States which brought about a great representation of children who live with immigrant families. These children faced several environmental structures which were affected by changes and multiplicity in their family situations. Immigrant children attempted to understand a different culture, values, and emerging issues in relation to their assimilation paths.The purpose of this volume is to offer a complete representation of the way immigrant children and families respond and develop in the US and Europe. It will extend current knowledge and reinforce contemporary frameworks that associate the cultural differences between immigrant families and teachers. In the classroom environment teachers have the opportunity to effectively assume both nurturing and instructional roles to aid young children to cultivate their social and cognitive abilities. The teachers' personal characteristics, formal education, specialized training, and cultural knowledge may affect their effectiveness in the classroom environment. Most of the studies show that both family and teachers have the most significant effects on the children's development and learning. Immigration researchers and scholars were invited to review, critically analyze, discuss, and submit a manuscript for the volume titled, Contemporary Perspectives on Research on Immigration in Early Childhood Education.The concept of immigration has heavily influenced modern views in early childhood education. Researchers, scholars, and educators need to understand the current sources based on theoretical frameworks that contribute to the purposes of immigration in the United States and Europe. The contents of the volume reflect the major shifts in the views of early childhood researchers, scholars, and educators in relation to the research on immigration, its historical roots, the role of immigration in early childhood education, and its relationship to theory, research, and practice.
