How to Be a Part-Time Farmer

One Foot in the Field

With one famous equation, E=mc2, Einstein proved all matter can be described as energy. It is everywhere and everything. ‘There is no author whose books I look forward to more than Vaclav Smil.’ Bill Gates Turn on a light. Start the car. Boil water. Eat. Move. Breathe. Everything is energy. But what exactly is it? And how can we best harness it without destroying the planet in the process? Renowned scientist Vaclav Smil explores energy in all its facets – from the inner workings of the human body to the rise of modern industry and the race for more efficient and eco-friendly fuels. From the laws of thermodynamics to the latest developments in wind, solar and geothermal power, Energy: A Short History sheds light on the invisible network of energy that shapes all our lives, and how our daily decisions affect energy consumption.

This Palgrave Pivot provides a succinct yet holistic foundation in nudge theory, introducing a unique four-quadrant radar model which classifies nudges according to domain of application, intervention mechanism, psychological process, and design features. By mapping nudges across these interconnected analytical dimensions, the book reveals the underlying architecture of behavioral choice interventions.The book aims to root nudge analysis inherently as part of a broader choice architecture paradigm, moving beyond reductive classifications to reveal the hidden geometry of human decision-making. It aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals by highlighting the role of nudge theory in addressing global challenges, from health and environmental behaviors to digital ethics and policy innovation, while incorporating a range of case studies to illustrate the real-world implications of nudges. This concise and accessible resource will be a valuable tool for not only scholars and students, but also policymakers and professionals, working across the behavioral sciences on socio-economic policy issues. Whether you are designing interventions, evaluating nudge effectiveness, or seeking to understand the ethical dimensions of behavioral influence, this framework offers a practical yet theoretically rigorous approach to the evolving landscape of choice architecture.Alessia Dorigoni

A Multidimensional Framework for Nudging

Balancing Nudges between Individual Choice and Environmental Influence

'Excellent' Aaron Bastani 'Provocative ... An entertaining, sweeping read' Financial Times Every leader comes to power promising growth: think back to the campaigns of Boris, Truss, Sunak, Starmer, Trump. Yet real-term income hasn't improved in the UK since 2008. Across the West, growth has stagnated for well over a decade, leading to cost of living crises, political instability and rising social tensions. Is real economic growth still possible? And with the climate emergency accelerating beyond repair, should we still be pushing for it? In Icarus Economics, acclaimed economist John Rapley argues that the problem of growth is inherently tied up with the climate crisis. We often assume that poor countries will bear the brunt of climate change, pandemics, and other exogenous shocks, but this book argues the opposite: western societies have more wealth and capital to lose and are less inherently resilient. In this book, he shows us how rich countries can grow their own economies by helping poor countries to decarbonise - and in the process, mitigate the effects of climate change.

Farmed Animals and the Law: Legal Pathways Beyond Intensive Farming is a concise and practical guide to the laws regulating farmed animals in the UK, placing them within the wider context of food system governance and climate commitments. Farmed animal law is often equated with welfare legislation, but in reality it spans a wide range of domains: subsidies and competition, investment and finance, markets and trade, food safety and standards, sanitary and phytosanitary rules, labelling and consumer protection, as well as planning and environmental law. Together, these frameworks shape the UK food system and influence how the country meets its international obligations, including under the Paris Agreement. With around 85% of farmed animals in the UK reared in intensive systems, the handbook focuses in particular on the regulation and future of intensive farming. Despite their importance, these legal regimes remain fragmented and underexplored. Lawyers working in specialist fields often lack a broader point of reference, while NGOs and campaigners may not have the expertise to navigate technical frameworks. This book addresses that gap by providing a clear, accessible overview that combines legal accuracy with usability. Each chapter is designed for quick reference: setting out the relevant statutes, regulations, and case law, explaining their operation, and identifying the practical implications for enforcement and accountability. The book moves from the immediate level of farm welfare and planning permission through to international trade and climate regimes, tracing the links between animal agriculture, markets, and sustainability. The result is a unique resource - authoritative yet approachable, academically grounded yet practice-focused - for lawyers, students, NGOs, and others concerned with the future of farming, food, and climate. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Property and Land Law online service.

Legal Pathways Beyond Intensive Farming

Farmed Animals and the Law

Timely lessons for today's health and climate crises rooted in one of the earliest cases of government's provision for the common goodThe question of whether a government should take care of its people--preparing and investing in public health, welfare, and resilience policies--is arguably more important today than ever, as the world faces unprecedented climate and health crises.Commonwealth's exploration of the Venetian Republic--one of the oldest and most enduring in history--establishes for the first time that this state developed welfare policies not in response to the plague, as is commonly thought, but two centuries earlier. Alexander More reveals that the lawmakers of Venice took advantage of an economic revival to provide free medical assistance for their population. The Republic also inspected and guaranteed the quality and availability of food, water, and medicine, even when sudden climatic changes caused harvests to fail and supply chains to shift.Through original archival research in multiple languages, More shows that the welfare state of the Venetian Republic, which influenced key modern examples, took shape through deliberate efforts to work toward the common good. Readers interested in the history of medicine and public health, food security, welfare, economic history, climate science, and law will benefit from new insights into the origin and nature of commonwealth in society.Georgetown University Press gratefully acknowledges the support of a publishing grant from Furthermore, a program of the J. M. Kaplan Fund.
