Eco-Words The Ecology of Conversation

Eco-Words The Ecology of Conversation

How many words do we use in a day? How many of them are actually necessary to convey the flow of our thoughts? And how many could we do without if we were to fast abstain from using words? This book examines the power of words. It explores the links between communication language and identity arguing for a certain gravity to the practice of speech for offering only meaningful words to the people we talk to. We are the words we hear and utter we are the words we think and Anna Lisa Tota invites us to use “eco-words” to change the world we live in: “This book is a proposal to myself and to you dear Reader an invitation to change together: while you read and while I write bridging the temporal and spatial gap that separates us and makes it impossible for us to help each other”. This volume will appeal to readers interested in the everyday practice of communication. It will also be useful to scholars and students of sociology emotion memory body studies philosophy aesthetics communication studies psychology and linguistics. | Eco-Words The Ecology of Conversation

Islands of Rainforest Agroforestry Logging and Eco-Tourism in Solomon Islands

Islands of Rainforest Agroforestry Logging and Eco-Tourism in Solomon Islands

This title was first published in 2000: An original and thought-provoking analysis of modern initiatives in the tropical rain forest. While issues such as logging eco-timber eco-tourism have been widely analyzed from an outsider’s perspective this book considers them from the local people’s viewpoint in terms of a long history of the rainforest uses. The authors demonstrate that the relationship of indigenous people to the tropical forest is not essentially timeless nor is it primarily spiritual or mystical. It is in fact firmly connected to modern realities while still being rooted in historical beliefs and practices. Standing at the intersection of anthropology historical geography and rainforest ecology and also at the interface of the local and the global this ethnographically grounded study dispels a number of commonly held assumptions. It reveals how processes of ’impact’ are actually two-way interactions as local communities in Melanesia incorporate industries like logging into rapidly evolving post-colonial society and economy. | Islands of Rainforest Agroforestry Logging and Eco-Tourism in Solomon Islands

Frankenstein Urbanism Eco Smart and Autonomous Cities Artificial Intelligence and the End of the City

Frankenstein Urbanism Eco Smart and Autonomous Cities Artificial Intelligence and the End of the City

This book tells the story of visionary urban experiments shedding light on the theories that preceded their development and on the monsters that followed and might be the end of our cities. The narrative is threefold and delves first into the eco-city second the smart city and third the autonomous city intended as a place where existing smart technologies are evolving into artificial intelligences that are taking the management of the city out of the hands of humans. The book empirically explores Masdar City in Abu Dhabi and Hong Kong to provide a critical analysis of eco and smart city experiments and their sustainability and it draws on numerous real-life examples to illustrate the rise of urban artificial intelligences across different geographical spaces and scales. Theoretically the book traverses philosophy urban studies and planning theory to explain the passage from eco and smart cities to the autonomous city and to reflect on the meaning and purpose of cities in a time when human and non-biological intelligences are irreversibly colliding in the built environment. Iconoclastic and prophetic Frankenstein Urbanism is both an examination of the evolution of urban experimentation through the lens of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and a warning about an urbanism whose product resembles Frankenstein’s monster: a fragmented entity which escapes human control and human understanding. Academics students and practitioners will find in this book the knowledge that is necessary to comprehend and engage with the many urban experiments that are now alive ready to leave the laboratory and enter our cities. | Frankenstein Urbanism Eco Smart and Autonomous Cities Artificial Intelligence and the End of the City

Environmental Literacy and New Digital Audiences

Environmental Literacy and New Digital Audiences

Environmental literacy and education is not simply a top-down process of disseminating correct attitudes values and beliefs. Rather it is one that incorporates and facilitates a dialogue with audiences of different persuasions and at all levels of engagement to help highlight and co-produce consensual solutions to the major eco-challenges of our time. Exploring the growing power and influence of media formats and outlets like YouTube and gaming alongside fictional and documentary film this book considers new modes of environmental literacy to ascertain the effectiveness of digital and filmic stimuli on an audience’s perception of environmental issues and its specific impact on environmental action. Drawing on extensive research across a broad range of media formats Brereton establishes how environmental narratives and meanings are created and being received by contemporary audiences. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of environmental communication and media eco-criticism and environmental humanities more broadly. | Environmental Literacy and New Digital Audiences

The Business of Less The Role of Companies and Households on a Planet in Peril

The Business of Less The Role of Companies and Households on a Planet in Peril

The Business of Less rewrites the book on business and the environment. For the last thirty years corporate sustainability was synonymous with the pursuit of ‘eco-efficiency’ and ‘win-win’ opportunities. The notion of ‘eco-efficiency’ gives us the illusion that we can achieve environmental sustainability without having to question the pursuit of never-ending economic growth. The ‘win-win’ paradigm is meant to assure us that companies can be protectors of the environment whilst also being profit maximizers. It is abundantly clear that the state of the natural environment has further degraded instead of improved. This book introduces a new paradigm designed to finally reconcile business and the environment. It is called ‘net green’ which means that in these times of ecological overshoot businesses need to reduce total environmental impact and not just improve the eco-efficiency of their products. The book also introduces and explains the four pollution prevention principles ‘again’ ‘different’ ‘less’ and ‘labor not materials’. Together ‘net green’ and the four pollution prevention principles provide a road map for businesses and for every household to a world in which human prosperity and a healthy environment are no longer at odds. The Business of Less is full of anecdotes and examples. This brings its material to life and makes the book not only very accessible but also hugely applicable for everyone who is worried about the fate of our planet and is looking for answers. | The Business of Less The Role of Companies and Households on a Planet in Peril

Gender Violence in Ecofeminist Perspective Intersections of Animal Oppression Patriarchy and Domination of the Earth

Gender Violence in Ecofeminist Perspective Intersections of Animal Oppression Patriarchy and Domination of the Earth

This book aims to begin an eco-centered eco-feminist informed discussion about the ways in which our relationship to “nature” is bound up with gender patriarchy and violence. Ecofeminist scholars study the interconnections between gendered relationships of domination among humans between humans and between humans nonhumans and the earth. It is in this ideological and structural tangle between humans and the environment that a deeper understanding of gender violence is possible. Ecofeminism offers analytical possibilities for understanding a “logic of domination” which sustain a whole host of problems including the interrelated oppressions of gender violence and exploitation of the more-than-human-life world. In this book Gwen Hunnicutt brings into dialog ecofeminism and gender violence. Ideological components such as speciesism and the belief that the earth and its nonhuman inhabitants are ours to exploit inform a host of other social practices including interpersonal violence. A portion of this book is devoted to exploring the ways in which patriarchy is foregrounded by another hierarchy—uman domination over “nature”. Thus gender violence stems from a logic of domination that is built on the domination of nature and the domination of the Other “as nature”. As this blueprint of oppression repeats itself where there are vectors of difference the chapters ultimately connect these oppressions by showing the inextricable bind of violence against humans and the more-than-human-life world. This book will serve as a resource for scholars activists and students in sociology gender violence and interdisciplinary violence studies critical animal studies environmental studies and feminist and ecofeminist studies. | Gender Violence in Ecofeminist Perspective Intersections of Animal Oppression Patriarchy and Domination of the Earth

Foundations of Scenario Planning The Story of Pierre Wack

Foundations of Scenario Planning The Story of Pierre Wack

Pierre Wack was head of scenario planning at Royal Dutch / Shell Oil in London for just over ten years. He died in 1997. He was a pioneer of what we know today as scenario planning – an alternative and complement to strategic planning. Scenarios explore a variety of possible futures for examining decisions in organizational planning. Pierre was a unique man with interests in Indian and Japanese cultures and traditions. He travelled extensively and led a unique life that involved long periods of visiting gurus in India and extended sabbaticals in Japan. His experiences with Eastern thought no doubt shaped his ability to evolve the scenario method at Shell and as a result he was able to lead a team that foresaw the oil crises of the 1970’s and 80’s. This new volume will cover the basic context of his life timeline and attach it to the development of his thinking about scenario planning over the course of his career. After his death Wack’s materials papers and documents were collected by Napier Collyns and have recently been made available at the University of Oxford where the Pierre Wack Memorial Library has been established. These documents contain a variety of clues and stories that reveal more about who Pierre Wack was how he thought and will provide details about scenario planning that have never been seen or published. They also reveal a curious man and include a timeline written by his wife Eve which details their relationship over the course of 40 years. Written for management and business historians and researchers this book will uncover unseen contributions by a scenario planning pioneer shaped by significant events in his personal life that helped him to see the world differently. | Foundations of Scenario Planning The Story of Pierre Wack

Posthumanism in the Novels of Kurt Vonnegut Matter That Complains So

Posthumanism in the Novels of Kurt Vonnegut Matter That Complains So

Posthumanism in the Novels of Kurt Vonnegut: Matter That Complains So re-examines the prevailing critical consensus that Kurt Vonnegut was a humanist writer. While more difficult elements of his work have often been the subject of scholarly attention the tendency amongst critics writing on Vonnegut is to disavow them or to subsume them within a liberal humanist framework. When Vonnegut’s work is read from a posthumanist perspective however the productive paradoxes of his work are more fully realised. Drawing on New Materialist Eco-Critical and Systems Theory methodologies this book highlights posthumanist themes in six of Vonnegut’s most famous novels and emphasises the ways in which Vonnegut troubles human/non-human natural/artificial and material/discursive hierarchical binaries | Posthumanism in the Novels of Kurt Vonnegut Matter That Complains So

Superatoms An Introduction

Superatoms An Introduction

Superatoms are a growing topic of interest in nanoscience bringing the physics of electronic structure together with the chemistry of atomically precise clusters. They offer the prospect of materials design based on the targeted tunability of nanoscale building blocks creating electronic materials that can be used as everything from catalysts to computing hardware. This book is designed to be an introduction to the field covering the history of the concept and related theoretical models from cluster physics. It provides an overview of modern theoretical techniques and presents a survey of recent literature with particular emphasis on the utilization of these nanoscale building blocks. It explores the jellium model shell structure in nuclear physics and the relationship of these to the solution of the Schrödinger equation for the atom. The subsequent extension into density functional theory enables multiple examples of recent literature studies to be used to demonstrate the key concepts. This book is an ideal introduction for students looking to build bridges between cluster and condensed matter physics and the chemistry of superatoms in particular at a graduate level. | Superatoms An Introduction

Managing Organizations for Sustainable Development in Emerging Countries

Managing Organizations for Sustainable Development in Emerging Countries

Managing Organizations for Sustainable Development in Emerging Countries focuses on the main challenges and opportunities of managing firms and emerging economies in the light of sustainable development. One of the key questions of sustainable development is how organizations from developing countries are achieving their economic goals while considering simultaneously environmental issues like conservation of natural resources eco-efficiency biodiversity conservation and climate-change mitigation. These questions are relevant for government industry and urban sustainability. However in the modern literature that discusses organizational management for sustainable development few studies focus on the reality of organizations from emerging countries. Moreover changing environmental legislation in emerging countries (such as China and Brazil) will affect organizational managers. In this context this book may contribute to organizational management in the search for more sustainable organizations as well as deal with the challenges of managing organizations in the context of increased social problems degradation of natural resources loss of biodiversity and climate change. This book was published as a special issue of the International Journal of Sustainable Development & World Ecology.
