Global Im-possibilities by Phoebe Godfrey,Mary Buchanan Pdf

"At a time when environmental and social stakes are at their highest - with rising crises and contradictions at the nexus of a building sense of environmental and social collapse - there are no easy solutions. Global Im-Possibilities explores just what can be done around the world to ameliorate this dynamic. Using a range of essays and a multitude of case studies, this book explores what new lessons can be learned from examining the challenges and impediments to achieving just sustainabilities on the levels of policy, planning, and practice, and considers how these challenges and impediments can be addressed by individuals and/or governments. Taking a nuanced approach to provide an intersectional analysis of a particular issue relating to the ideals for achieving sustainability, this book asserts that that it is only in recognizing such complexity that we can hope to achieve just sustainabilities."--

Negotiating Climate Change in Crisis by Steffen Böhm,Sian Sullivan Pdf

Climate change negotiations have failed the world. Despite more than thirty years of high-level, global talks on climate change, we are still seeing carbon emissions rise dramatically. This edited volume, comprising leading and emerging scholars and climate activists from around the world, takes a critical look at what has gone wrong and what is to be done to create more decisive action. Composed of twenty-eight essays—a combination of new and republished texts—the anthology is organised around seven main themes: paradigms; what counts?; extraction; dispatches from a climate change frontline country; governance; finance; and action(s). Through this multifaceted approach, the contributors ask pressing questions about how we conceptualise and respond to the climate crisis, providing both ‘big picture’ perspectives and more focussed case studies. This unique and extensive collection will be of great value to environmental and social scientists alike, as well as to the general reader interested in understanding current views on the climate crisis.

Indigenous Knowledge Systems and Research Methodologies: Local Solutions and Global Opportunities by Elizabeth Sumida Huaman (Wanka/Quechua and Japanese), University of Minnesota, Twin Cities,Nathan D. Martin, Arizona State University Pdf

Bringing together researchers from geographically, culturally, and linguistically diverse regions, Indigenous Knowledge Systems and Research Methodologies offers practical guidance and lessons learned from research projects in and with Indigenous communities around the world. With an aim to examine issues of power, representation, participation, and accountability in studies involving Indigenous populations, the contributors reflect on their own experiences conducting collaborative research in distinct yet related fields. The book is anchored by specific themes: exploring decolonizing methodological paradigms, honoring Indigenous knowledge systems, and growing interdisciplinary collaboration toward Indigenous self-determination. This volume makes a significant contribution to Indigenous community as well as institutional scholarly and practical discussions by emphasizing guidance and questions from Indigenous scholars who are designing studies and conducting research that is moving the field of Indigenous research methodologies forward. Discussing challenges and ideas regarding research ethics, data co-ownership, data sovereignty, and dissemination strategies, this text is a vital resource for all students interested in the application of what can be gained from Indigenous research methods.

Global Development by Frans Doorman Pdf

In Global Development development specialist Frans Doorman analyses the economic, environmental and social problems humanity is facing today: from economic insecurity and destitute poverty to crime, environmental degradation and political ineptitude. He explains why, in spite of environmental growth and technological development, many people actually face a decline in their living conditions. Frans Doorman suggests that although the economic, social and environmental problems we face are huge, they can be overcome by investing humanity's creative energy and skills in a worldwide program for sustainable development. The main components and ways of financing such a program are described.

The Global Myths by Alexander Eliot Pdf

As much a monolith as a man by the end of his life, Sir John Gielgud was, from the beginning of his career in the 1920s, an active, energetic workaholic. By turns actor, director, and producer, he was always proceeding to the next project before he had finished its predecessor. By the time of his death, he had appeared in hundreds of plays, hundreds of movies, and countless television programs. His voice and face were instantly identifiable, and there was something reassuring about his gentle, intensely civilized, slightly abstracted demeanor. Such a major force in British and American theater deserves a similarly imposing biography, and he receives one in Croall's exactingly researched work, based on full access to Gielgud's papers, letters, and books--and showing it. Witty and well-written as well as well-researched, Croall's fine and complete portrait of the man and his endearing charm often reads more like a novel than like nonfiction.
