Routledge Environmental Humanities

With particular focus on more-than-human experience, this creative-critical book explores the role of literary storytelling in representing and communicating the oceanic environmental crisis.While investigating the creative potential of scholarship in material ecocriticism and the blue humanities, this book examines the theoretical tools needed while developing the poetic and creative role of scholarship in imagining a livable oceanic future. To overcome anthropocentric views of nature, it argues that a fluid and more-than-human literary form is needed. This is developed in the book as a 'jellyfish poetics': a literary structuring device based on the jellyfish life cycle. The book not only theorises this new form, but also enacts it, presenting original and innovative research that embodies a synthesis between creative and scholarly approaches. With its main focus being more-than-human experience of oceanic environmental issues, central case studies are jellyfish, ecological depletion in the North Sea and recent nature-based Dutch water management.This is an important book for scholars interested in the intersection of blue humanities and creative writing as well as the wider environmental humanities. Additionally, it is relevant to practitioners, writers and educators who grapple with the challenge of representing environmental crisis.

Literary Storytelling and the Environmental Crisis of the Oceans

This book is the first investigation of the relationship between EU digital sovereignty and sustainability strategies. It maps the ambitions and limitations of EU digital strategic autonomy and explores the structural challenges underlying its relationship with its green transition objectives in the context of the ongoing wars in neighbouring European countries and the consequent tensions in the EU energy sector. The EU is racing to achieve technological independence from third countries and foreign multinational companies to protect its digital sovereignty and preserve its fundamental rights. In the EU, digitalisation and the green transformation are seen as twin transitions. Yet, EU digital sovereignty strategies have a significant environmental cost. Reaching a status of strategic autonomy of the EU at the level of digital infrastructures, products, services and data implies higher energy consumption and exploitation of natural resources. Moreover, the geopolitical tensions following the Russian invasion of Ukraine have provoked an unprecedented energy crisis, which is affecting EU economies and impacting objectives of the twin transitions. The book offers an interdisciplinary analysis of the major EU regulatory and policy instruments in this field, providing an invaluable guide for academics, practitioners, and policymakers navigating the complex issues of preserving digital sovereignty and addressing climate change in times of war and energy crisis.

Digital Sovereignty and the Green Transition

This is the incredible untold story of four women who helped win World War II by generating a wave of black propaganda. Betty MacDonald was a 28-year-old reporter from Hawaii. Zuzka Lauwers grew up in a tiny Czechoslovakian village and knew five languages by the time she was 21. Jane Smith-Hutton was the wife of a naval attaché living in Tokyo. Marlene Dietrich, the German-American actress and singer, was one of the biggest stars of the 20th century. These four women, each fascinating in her own right, together contributed to one of the most covert and successful military campaigns in WWII. Members of the Office of Strategic Services, their task was to create a secret brand of propaganda produced with the sole aim to break the morale of Axis soldiers. Working in Europe, across enemy lines in occupied China and in Washington D.C., Betty, Zuzka, Jane and Marlene forged letters and 'official' military orders, wrote and produced entire newspapers, scripted radio broadcasts and songs and even developed rumours for undercover spies and double agents to spread to the enemy. And outside of a small group of spies, no one knew they existed. Until now.

The need for resilience at organisational, department and individual level has never been greater. Geopolitical conflict, climate change, supply chain disruption and political instability are just a handful of the risks that leaders must mitigate to ensure stable business operation and optimum effectiveness. Project resilience refers to the ability of a project or initiative to anticipate, adapt and recover from unexpected challenges, disruptions or uncertainties. It involves the capacity to withstand shocks, maintain functionality in the face of adversity, and quickly recover to a stable state. Resilient projects underpin resilient organisations; a resilient organisation produces sustainable competitive advantage. This book offers a structured framework - the Project Resilience Maturity Model - to assess and enhance resilience in organisations. The authors begin by considering different approaches to project resilience, and by identifying potential tensions therein. In the second part, methods of sustaining project resilience are examined, focusing on the perspective of the project manager, personal responsibility and leadership. The latter part of the textbook provides practical tools and applications to assess and enhance project resilience. Throughout, the authors employ a pedagogical framework designed to ensure maximum effectiveness for students and practitioners. Chapters are organised to reflect the evolution of project resilience maturity and concepts are introduced in a sequential order that builds on what has come before, with Key Takeaways summarising each chapter's most critical points. Fictional case studies illustrate how topics can be implemented in a project management setting, while Key and Dormant Tensions highlight potential blind spots. Demystifying complex topics without sacrificing scholarly rigour, Project Resilience provides you with a strategic approach to ensuring projects are well-equipped to withstand uncertainties and adapt to dynamic conditions. It is the perfect textbook to support advanced Project Management and Organisational Resilience courses, and to provide practical methods for leading responsible organisations.

Graduation Wisdom for a New Tomorrow (An Illustrated Guide)---The Perfect Gift to Celebrate Your Grad

This Is Worth Remembering

From the bestselling author of Do Hard Things and Win the Inside Game comes a guide to showing up in the moments that demand your best and shape who you become. We’ve all been there. The nerves, pressure, doubts, and that voice in our head screaming “what if I’m not good enough?” Once we enter the arena, everything changes, and none of us are immune. Even an Olympic champion muttered on the starting line, "What the hell am I doing here?" Yet, we fundamentally misunderstand pressure and how to rise to the occasion. It’s time to redefine what it means to step up and compete. We’ve been sold a one-dimensional picture of the competitor: fearless, ruthless, dominant, the alpha dog. But fear and doubt aren’t a sign of weakness. They’re the price of admission. Drawing on new science and an original survey of over 2,000 high performers across sport, business, and the arts, Magness shows us that the best aren't defined by fearlessness or fire. They're defined by range: the ability to summon the right state at the right moment. They’re able to be fierce without becoming reckless, focused without becoming rigid, and driven without losing the people beside them. Step Into the Arena is about more than just performing. The arena isn’t just a stadium or a stage. It’s the blank page, the difficult conversation, and every moment when we care deeply, the outcome is uncertain, and failure stings. In a world of curated feeds and sideline critics, the arena is one of the last places of unfiltered truth. It’s where we stop hiding, risk failure for something worthy, and find out what we're made of. It asks something larger of us: What are we striving for? How will we strive? And who will we become in the process? For everyone who has ever known exactly what they were capable of, and watched the moment take it away, it's time to take it back. Step into the arena. It's where you'll find out who you are.

How to Master Pressure, Quiet Your Doubts, and Show Up When It Matters Most

Step into the Arena

What if the biggest obstacle to solving our problems is nothing more than a failure to believe that we can?Rick Caruso has spent his life stepping optimistically into places where other people see no way forward by asking a deceptively simple question: What can we do to make this better? From his appointment as Commissioner to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and later the City's troubled Police Department, to the creation of his bold and innovative real estate ventures including L.A.'s world-renowned retail center The Grove, Caruso built a reputation for finding steadfast solutions even in the face of staunch adversity. By employing the great teachers of experience and curiosity, he continues to do what he can to improve Los Angeles, the city he loves, and in Breaking New Ground, he shares lessons learned along the way--while offering us all a path forward to a better future.Again and again, Caruso discovered that breakthroughs rarely come from knowing everything at the outset. They come from asking better questions, bringing the right people into the room, listening without ego, separating ideology from reality, and refusing to give up until workable solutions emerge. Ultimately, they require a steadfast dedication to the belief that there is always a solution and that defeat is not an option.Breaking New Ground is the story of how his philosophy was forged--from the examples of immigrant grandparents and a father who lost one fortune and built another, to Caruso's own successes, failures, public battles, family life, faith, and unexpected turns through business and government.Caruso is less interested in prescribing a formula for becoming successful than in exploring how successful problem-solvers think: how they distinguish what matters from what merely makes noise; how they balance conviction with compromise; how they recognize when conventional wisdom has stopped working; and how they remain fearless enough to see difficult decisions through.Part memoir, part argument, and part blueprint for action, Breaking New Ground offers a timely proposition for anyone confronting a problem that feels too complicated, entrenched, or divisive to solve.There is always another way forward. Sometimes you simply have to be willing to build it.

It’s Not too Late to Build Toward a Better Future!

A deep dive into how our precious health data is slipping away and the paths to reclaiming it. Through wearables, consumer DNA tests, and even just the phones in our pockets, a vast and growing quantity of health data is collected every day. While this can be helpful for health agencies to improve public health and to us to perform better at sports, it all comes at a cost. In a world of increased surveillance, tech companies and cybercriminals have the ability to acquire our most precious data and put profit above all else. This risks not only our privacy, but perhaps even democracy itself. Tech journalist Matt Evans shows us why our precious health data is slipping away, how the data is used, and how we might reap the benefits without paying such huge costs. Featuring exclusive interviews with tech CEOs, lawyers and even reformed hackers, this is a deep-dive into the value of our health data and a manifesto for a new age of personal autonomy.

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.
