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

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 All three of these journeys and the textual record they left are examined in depth using manuscript material and unpublished correspondence from the Bertrand Russell Archives at McMaster University which is mined extensively throughout the volume.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

Routledge Handbook of Energy Transitions

Routledge Handbook of Energy Transitions

The Routledge Handbook of Energy Transitions draws upon a unique and multidisciplinary network of experts from around the world to explore the expanding field of energy transitions. This Handbook recognizes that considerable changes are underway or are being developed for the modes in which energy is sourced delivered and utilized. Employing a sociotechnical approach that accounts for economics and engineering as well as more cross-cutting factors including innovation policy and planning and management the volume considers contemporary ideas and practices that characterize the field. The book explores pressing issues including choices about infrastructure the role of food systems and materials sustainability and energy democracy. Disruption is a core theme throughout with the authors examining topics such as digitalization extreme weather and COVID-19 along with regional similarities and differences. Overall the Routledge Handbook of Energy Transitions advances the field of energy transitions by connecting ideas taking stock of empirical insights and challenging how we think about the theory and practice of energy systems change. This innovative volume functions as an authoritative roadmap with both regional and global relevance. It will be an essential resource for students policymakers researchers and practitioners researching and working in the fields of energy transitions planning environmental management and policy sustainable business engineering science and technology studies political science geography design anthropology and environmental justice. “With the exception of Chapter 26 no part of this book may be reprinted or reproduced or utilised in any form or by any electronic mechanical or other means now known or hereafter invented including photocopying and recording or in any information storage or retrieval system without permission in writing from the publishers. ” Chapter 26 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www. taylorfrancis. com under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND)] 4. 0 license.
