The Routledge Handbook of International Law and Anthropocentrism

This handbook explores contextualises and critiques the relationship between anthropocentrism – the idea that human beings are socially and politically at the centre of the cosmos – and international law. While the critical study of anthropocentrism has been under way for several years it has either focused on specific subfields of international law or emanated from two distinctive strands inspired by the animal rights movement and deep ecology. This handbook offers a broader study of anthropocentrism in international law as a global legal system and academic field. It assesses the extent to which current international law is anthropocentric contextualises that claim in relation to broader critical theories of anthropocentrism and explores alternative ways for international law to organise relations between humans and other living and non-living entities. This book will interest international lawyers environmental lawyers legal theorists social theorists and those concerned with the philosophy and ethics of ecology and the non-human realms.

Fundamentals of Systems Biology From Synthetic Circuits to Whole-cell Models

For decades biology has focused on decoding cellular processes one gene at a time but many of the most pressing biological questions as well as diseases such as cancer and heart disease are related to complex systems involving the interaction of hundreds or even thousands of gene products and other factors. How do we begin to understand this complexity? Fundamentals of Systems Biology: From Synthetic Circuits to Whole-cell Models introduces students to methods they can use to tackle complex systems head-on carefully walking them through studies that comprise the foundation and frontier of systems biology. The first section of the book focuses on bringing students quickly up to speed with a variety of modeling methods in the context of a synthetic biological circuit. This innovative approach builds intuition about the strengths and weaknesses of each method and becomes critical in the book‘s second half where much more complicated network models are addressed including transcriptional signaling metabolic and even integrated multi-network models. The approach makes the work much more accessible to novices (undergraduates medical students and biologists new to mathematical modeling) while still having much to offer experienced modelers-whether their interests are microbes organs whole organisms diseases synthetic biology or just about any field that investigates living systems. | Fundamentals of Systems Biology From Synthetic Circuits to Whole-cell Models

The Routledge Companion to Decolonizing Art History

This companion is the first global comprehensive text to explicate theorize and propose decolonial methodologies for art historians museum professionals artists and other visual culture scholars teachers and practitioners. Art history as a discipline and its corollary institutions - the museum the art market - are not only products of colonial legacies but active agents in the consolidation of empire and the construction of the West. The Routledge Companion to Decolonizing Art History joins the growing critical discourse around the decolonial through an assessment of how art history may be rethought and mobilized in the service of justice - racial gender social environmental restorative and more. This book draws attention to the work of artists art historians and scholars in related fields who have been engaging with disrupting master narratives and forging new directions often within a hostile academy or an indifferent art world. The volume unpacks the assumptions projected onto objects of art and visual culture and the discourse that contains them. It equally addresses the manifold complexities around representation as visual and discursive praxis through a range of epistemologies and metaphors originated outside or against the logic of modernity. This companion is organized into four thematic sections: Being and Doing Learning and Listening Sensing and Seeing and Living and Loving. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history visual culture museum studies race and ethnic studies cultural studies disability studies and women’s gender and sexuality studies.

The Collected Papers of Bertrand Russell Volume 26 Cold War Fears and Hopes 1950–52

The Collected Papers of Bertrand Russell Volume 26 covers a period of transition in Russell's political life between his orthodox and sometimes pugnacious defence of the West in the early post-war and the dissenting advocacy of nuclear disarmament and détente that started in earnest in the mid-1950s. While some of the assembled writings echo harsh prior criticism of Soviet expansionism and dictatorship others register growing qualms about the recklessness of American foreign policy and the baneful effects on civil liberties of anti-communist hysteria inside the United States. Whether continuing to push for western rearmament or highlighting in a more placatory vein the folly of the Cold War's divisions and rival fanaticisms Russell's paramount objective was avoiding a war that threatened global catastrophe. Suspended between fear and hope he expounded his evolving political concerns–and much else besides including autobiographical reflections and typically common-sense guidance for living well–in a constant flow of newspaper and magazine articles letters to editors radio broadcasts and discussions and of special note a Nobel Prize acceptance speech. Russell also completed two lecture tours of the United States (the last of many) as well as a landmark such visit to Australia. All three of these journeys and the textual record they left are examined in depth using manuscript material and unpublished correspondence from the Bertrand Russell Archives at McMaster University which is mined extensively throughout the volume. | The Collected Papers of Bertrand Russell Volume 26 Cold War Fears and Hopes 1950–52

The Routledge Handbook of Urban Ecology

This second edition covers recent developments around the world with contributors from 33 different countries. It widens the handbook’s scope by including ecological design; consideration of cultural dimensions of the use and conservation of urban nature; the roles of government and civil society; and the continuing issues of equity and fairness in access to urban greenspaces. New features include an emphasis on the biophilic design of homes and workplaces demonstrating the value of nature in order to counter the still prevalent attitude among many developers that nature is a constraint rather than a value. The volume explores great practical achievements that have occurred since the first edition with many governments increasingly recognizing and legislating on urban nature and green infrastructure matters since cities play a major role in adapting to change particularly to climate crisis. New topics such as the ecological role of light at night and human microbiota in the urban ecosystem are introduced. Additional attention is given to food production in cities particularly the multiple roles of urban agriculture and household gardens in different contexts from wealthy communities to the poorest informal settlements in deprived communities. The emphasis is on demonstrating what can be achieved and what is already being done. The book aims to help scholars and graduate students by providing an invaluable and up-to-date guide to current urban ecological thinking across the range of disciplines such as geography ecology environmental science/studies planning and urban studies that converge in the study of towns and cities and urban design and living. It will also assist practitioners and civil society members in discovering the ways diff erent specialists and thinkers approach urban nature. | The Routledge Handbook of Urban Ecology
