A Four Billion Year Conversation

Materialising the Digital

Where and how we pay is changing dramatically. This timely, innovative book navigates the so-called 'Cambrian explosion' of FinTech companies and more specifically to the emergence of Blockchain technologies and cryptocurrencies through the lens of the case of Ripple, a company in the field of cryptoassets and cross-border payments. Combining STS with human geography and political economy, it navigates the maelstrom of proliferating new and old payment infrastructure, to develop a theoretical and empirical 'infrastructural inversion' of money. Money does not just flow through or behave like an infrastructure, but rather it is an infrastructure, because it is predicated upon the existence of accounting and payment infrastructures of memory for its very existence. Using the concepts of active forms and dispositions from design and architecture, this nuanced book analyses how money's infrastructures act in the world materially, spatially, as objects and subjects of desire and as political and economic machines. If we want new forms of money for new forms of society, we need to think holistically and ecologically about the complex combinations of materiality, space, desire and political economies that money generates and propagates. Tracing the trajectory of a cryptoasset project from an alternative credit system to an interbank, cross-border company, the book moves beyond a Bitcoin-centric view of money. It reveals how alternative and mainstream, networked and sovereign forms of money have long been intertwined.

The Toxicity and Human Health Risks of Chemicals in our Environment

Forensic Science Laboratory Manual and Workbook

In many parts of the world, 100-degree days are already common. In the Indian subcontinent, temperatures can become so high that concrete in the cities buckles. In Morocco, hotter and longer droughts threaten crops and livestock, possibly wiping out the livelihood of millions. The lives of the world's poorest are already harder, hotter, and shorter thanks to emissions that disproportionately come from the world's richest. But just as the rich world's emissions are finally falling, poorer countries' are set to increase drastically. We seem to be caught in an impossible bind-but it's not too late.Renowned economists Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo (co-recipients of the 2019 Nobel Prize), and Michael Greenstone propose a radical new approach to combating climate change and the devastation that is already causing the most serious global crisis of our time. Substantial progress is possible if the wealthiest countries compensate the poorer countries for the harms that their emissions cause and, in exchange, poorer countries commit to climate action. Based on meticulous original research, years of fieldwork around the world, and deep engagement with world leaders and climate negotiators, Banerjee, Duflo, and Greenstone dive deeply into the specifics to show how this grand bargain would work to curtail emissions and address the suffering of the world's neediest.This paradigm-shifting and inspiring book reassures us that we can successfully confront the challenge. We can protect the poor while protecting our future. It's just economics.

A Better Deal for People and Planet

Just Economics

A blueprint for how we can collectively build a thriving world, from a leading behavioural scientistEat healthily, cut back on alcohol, quit smoking, cycle to work, fly less - we all know what we should be doing. So why aren't we?The answer is both simple and radical: the world is stacked against us. From the moment we wake up, our decisions are shaped by the shops we visit, the streets we walk, the ads we scroll through. These environments are not neutral. They are designed for our convenience and immediate gratification, and to serve the interests of four industries: tobacco, ultra-processed food, alcohol and fossil fuels.Together, these industries drive the climate crisis, from greenhouse gas emissions to deforestation, and contribute to at least one in four deaths worldwide. Yet we are told the problem is one of personal responsibility - that with more information, smarter habits or new technologies, we can change our behaviour.This book challenges those myths. Drawing on decades of cutting-edge science and compelling case studies from around the world, leading behavioural scientist Theresa Marteau explores what actually works, and why those in power keep failing to act on the evidence. From taxing sugary drinks in Mexico to redesigning streets in Paris, from restricting junk food advertising in London to electing more women to office, Marteau shows how proven interventions applied at scale could transform our health and the health of our planet.Clear-eyed and incisive, this is an inspiring blueprint for how together, citizens and governments can push back against corporate power and build a better, brighter future.

How Four Industries Are Making Us Sick, and How We Can Reclaim Control

Pushback

A revelatory, jaw-dropping portrait of Tucker Carlson's career and his history of reinvention, and a story of how the right-wing media lost its mind.
New York Magazine writer Jason Zengerle's eye-opening narrative follows Tucker Carlson's infamous journey from gifted young intern at The Weekly Standard to a noxious talking head on Fox News, and then to his dethroning and defenestration.
In the tradition of Our Man and The Loudest Voice in the Room, Zengerle examines how Tucker Carlson's Zelig-like career offers a unique lens into the confusing, myopic, and utterly shameless evolution of American conservatism, its media presence and punditry, from the 1990s to the present.

Developments in Physical & Theoretical Chemistry

Physical Chemistry at the Intersection of Combustion and Atmospheric Sciences provides the first detailed exploration of overlapping scientific problems in physical chemistry within the domains of combustion and atmospheric chemistry. Specific problems addressed in this book include detailing the current state of knowledge and future research needs on topics, such as the role of organic hydroperoxide reactivity in both atmospheric chemistry and combustion, the importance of peroxy radicals produced in biofuel and hydrocarbon combustion that control chain-branching, and in tropospheric chemistry, affect OH-budgeting and the formation of aerosols that impact air quality. Significant attention is also paid to the influence of functional groups on combustion reaction mechanisms as well as downstream effects on gas-phase chemical reactions in atmosphere. Specifically, problems connecting gas-phase reactions of functionalized organic molecules present in combustion emissions to secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation are addressed. In addition, remaining challenges in understanding the subsequent physical and chemical processes involving SOA will be addressed. It is written primarily for research staff scientists, R&amp;D personnel (laboratory and industry), graduate students, and professors in the fields of physical chemistry, atmospheric science, and chemical engineering.

Essays outlining the emergence, evolution, and application of the Clean Water Act and its impact on the waters of New York's Lake Champlain Basin.Multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary in focus, The Clean Water Act and the Lake Champlain Basin features the work of scholars who think deeply about the connections between the 1972 U.S. Clean Water Act and the waters of the Lake Champlain Basin. Each contribution considers contemporary policy-relevant issues; in so doing, this collection examines and emphasizes the background, scope, and impacts of policy decisions. As such, the focus of this book is purposely broad, considering local, state, federal and binational perspectives. Full of fresh arguments and insights about a complex and relatively understudied relationship and expanding on previous academic treatments of the Clean Water Act, this volume also complements applied studies centered on Lake Champlain Basin water-management issues and activities.
