'Fascinating' Observer'Engrossing' i News'Elegant' Sunday Telegraph'Profound and poignant' Sunday Post'Remarkable and complex' George McGavinA memoir and investigation exploring loss, community and the climate crisis in the Shetland Islands by environmental journalist Marianne Brown.How do we balance our needs with the needs of the natural world around us?How can we have nuanced conversations and debate in a time of extreme activism or extreme denial?How can we begin to understand the complexities of a subject as enormous as climate change?And how can we change the way we live to save our lives?This is one woman's story of how her quest to make peace with her father's death brought her straight to the heart of a challenging debate about how we save the planet.When Marianne Brown arrived in Voe, Shetland, to attend the funeral of her father, she had packed enough clothes to last a short trip. But this was February 2020, just weeks before the UK's first lockdown, and she would be unable to leave for another six months.Shetland is a place bound together by community, history and culture. But when a huge windfarm is greenlit to export energy to mainland Scotland, it creates rifts between neighbours, friends and even families. One side supports the benefit to a planet spiralling into climate disaster; the other challenges the impact on an environment with an already struggling wildlife population.As an environmental journalist, Marianne is drawn to investigate this story of sustainable energy that is irrevocably tied to her grief. But nothing is ever straightforward, and she soon finds herself on a transformative journey into the heart of a debate that mirrors global concerns about how we save the planet.

Drawing on case studies from the UK, Spain, Germany, Colombia and Argentina, this book analyses how the anti-fracking movement has emerged as a powerful citizen platform with an ability to mobilize large numbers, change public sentiment and government opinion, and challenge powerful actors. In response to the fracking boom, anti-fracking groups have emerged throughout the world and are playing a pivotal role in exposing different instances of substantive environmental and ecological injustice. Although the ability of affected residents to draw upon translocal slogans such as "not in my backyard" (NIMBY) has been powerful and has helped the anti-fracking movement avoid becoming spatially restricted, little is known about the formation of these broad-based coalitions. Combining theoretical insights from green criminology and social movement studies, the authors address three critical questions: What role do shared claims of justice play in motivating citizens to join the anti-fracking movement? What are the strategies, actions and networks of the anti-fracking movement? Finally, how has the anti-fracking movement shifted from the local to the national, and then to global, levels?

The Glorians

When you think about the tools at our disposal to address the ecological, social and biodiversity challenges we face today, accounting might not immediately come to mind. And yet it is accounting standards, not science and not public policy, that set out how profit is calculated, which in turn drives investment decisions. What if we demanded that those standards reflect the true cost of business and its consequences?Unless we look again at these fundamental principles, which have gone under the radar for so long, capital markets will continue to contribute to inequality, nature loss and climate change. What's remarkable is that we already have in place everything we need for a more just and complete approach to accounting, and forward-thinking businesses are beginning to recognize that.Jeremy Nicholls - accountant, sustainability professional, historian and activist - sets out a vision for new way of accounting, and it's one that we can adopt immediately.

Language as an Ecological Phenomenon

The first biography of one of the most influential and innovative figures in the history of American finance who revolutionized Wall Street and whose story reads like a real-life Great Gatsby J.P. Morgan. John D. Rockefeller. Charles E. Mitchell. These are some of the most prominent icons of wealth and influence during the Roaring Twenties. Yet the one figure who has strangely escaped notice all these years is an enigmatic banker by the name of Clarence Dillon.&nbsp;In the dazzling 1920s,&nbsp;as he rose in wealth and influence,&nbsp;Dillon became one of the original behind-the-scenes players in Hollywood, and his contact list included everyone from Thomas Edison to Charlie Chaplin and Joseph P. Kennedy to FDR. Like many great figures in history, Dillon’s personality was complex and contradictory: he could be utterly ruthless and cold-blooded, yet he was also sophisticated and elegant.&nbsp;This immensely influential man left a lasting mark on the history of finance in America. Yet, strangely, he&nbsp;eluded the close attention of biographers and historians—until now. &gt;<ul><li> Created modern bankruptcy law</li><li> Pioneered leveraged buyouts</li><li> Invented junk bonds</li><li> Engineered some of the biggest mergers and acquisitions ever seen</li> This first-ever inside look at&nbsp;Dillon and his life will fill a void in how we view the wild excesses of the Roaring Twenties, and how we understand the increasingly complex nexus between Wall Street and political power in our own time.&nbsp;The Baron of Wall Street&nbsp;is a vivid, novelistic account of Wall Street’s most formative years and its transformation through one&nbsp;dynamic and influential player in the financial world, highlighting his&nbsp;significant role in shaping US foreign policy today.
