Food Systems and Biodiversity in the

Food Systems and Biodiversity in the Context of Environmental and Climate Risks

Dynamics and Evolving Solutions

Images in The Age of Heat

Medium Hot

Pre-order the latest book from the Booker Prize-winning author of Lincoln in the Bardo - a playful, wise, electric novel taking place at the bedside of an oil company CEO, in the twilight hours of his life, as he is ferried from this world into the next 'He will be read long after these times have passed' Zadie Smith Not for the first time, Jill "Doll" Blaine finds herself hurtling toward earth, reconstituting as she falls, right down to her favourite black pumps. She plummets towards her newest charge, yet another soul she must usher into the afterlife, and lands headfirst in the circular drive of his ornate mansion. She has performed this sacred duty three hundred and forty-three times since her own death. Her charges, as a rule, have been greatly comforted in their final moments. But this charge, she soon discovers, isn't like the others: The powerful K.J. Boone will not be consoled, because he has nothing to regret. He lived a big, bold life, and the world is better for it. Isn't it? Vigil transports us, careening, through the wild final evening of an epic, complicated life. Crowds of people and animals - worldly and otherworldly, alive and dead - arrive, clamouring for a reckoning. Birds swarm the dying man's room, a black calf grazes on the loveseat, a man from a distant drought-ravaged village materialises, two oil-business cronies from decades past show up with chilling plans for Boone's post-death future. With the acuity and explosive imagination we've come to expect, George Saunders takes on the gravest issues of our time - the menace of corporate greed, the toll of capitalism, the environmental perils of progress - and, in the process, spins a tale that encompasses life and death, good and evil, and the thorny question of absolution.

Palgrave Studies in Environmental Sociology and Policy

Toward a Sustainable Future

Invitation to Environmental Sociology

Countries across the world are facing issues such as poverty, climate change, population ageing, issues related to immigration, migration, COVID-19 and intergenerational historic trauma, mental illness and rising income inequality. The established world order and global dominance of the Western-centric development agenda and modernity and the unequal distribution of world’s resources have created tremendous problems for many people living in global as well as local communities, both in developed and developing countries.&nbsp;
<div>
This major reference work handbook discusses global social problems across social, political, economic and geographical boundaries.&nbsp;By bringing together contributions that approach social problems at different levels of society (local, regional, national, transnational, or at the macro, meso and micro levels), it&nbsp;considers them as globally interconnected and mediated by new geopolitical and market logics.&nbsp;
</div>
<div>
This volume showcases new approaches to social problems, it is multidisciplinary in its approach and thematically organised.&nbsp;

On the unlikely politics of ‘inner-prepping’

The Revolution Will Be Internalised

'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.

Studies in the Circumpolar North

As climate change accelerates, melting sea ice is fueling the global imagination and geopolitical anticipation of the Arctic region's accessible transport routes and possibilities for resource extraction. "Silk Roads" are being conjured across the circumpolar North, both as official Arctic and infrastructural policy, and as broader visions of global connectivity with other markets. Following the myriad ways that local economies and agencies are proliferating around the anticipation of large-scale infrastructural corridors and their often-unrealized arteries, Arctic Silk Roads examines the different conditions under which top-down infrastructural dreams facilitate or constrain individual agencies.

A Practical Manifesto for Purposeful Decomposition

Compost after Reading

This textbook on animal behavior is designed for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students in veterinary science, animal science, and zoology and offers an integrated view of behavioral biology, bridging classical ethology, cognitive neuroscience, and ecological adaptation with practical veterinary applications. The initial chapters provide foundational aspects such as orientation, motivation, and communication before moving into core themes of learned behavior, cognition, social dynamics, reproduction, and courtship. It further addresses applied behavioral contexts in veterinary practice, including stress and welfare indicators, the impact of hormones and drugs, and human-animal interactions. The final sections explore ecological and evolutionary behavior, including movement, habitat selection, and behavioral responses to altered ecosystems. Emphasizing both theoretical depth and practical application, the book provides students and professionals with a modern, interdisciplinary perspective on the role of behavior in animal health, welfare, and survival. Key feature: 1) Provides an overview of animal behavior, covering foundational principles, learning and cognition, social dynamics, reproductive strategies, and ecological interactions. 2) Addresses complex behavioural phenomena such as social dominance, reproductive strategies, maternal investment, altruism, and host-parasite interactions within both naturalistic and managed settings 3) Explains the evolutionary and physiological basis of behaviour, drawing upon current understanding in genetics, endocrinology, neuroethology, and environmental biology 4) Examines behavioural responses to environmental pressures, including migration, habitat selection, anthropogenic disturbance, and ecosystem alterations 5) Incorporates the impact of exogenous influences such as hormone therapy, drug administration, and human-animal interactions on behavioural outcomes Short Blurb This veterinary textbook for postgraduate students presents an in-depth overview of animal behavior, combining ethological theory, behavioral neuroscience, and veterinary applications. It explores cognition, communication, stress responses, social behavior, and ecological adaptations, making it an important resource for students and professionals in veterinary and animal sciences. Seasonal Blurb This textbook for advanced graduate and postgraduate veterinary students introduces animal behavior through a modern lens, integrating classical ethology with veterinary, ecological, and neurophysiological insights. Designed for advanced veterinary and life science students, it covers foundational concepts such as orientation, motivation, and communication and extends into complex areas including social structure, cognitive behavior, stress and welfare indicators, pharmacological impacts, and reproductive strategies. The ecological dimension explores behavior in response to environmental shifts, host-parasite interactions, and conservation. It is useful for students and professionals in veterinary and animal sciences.

A History of Community, Stewardship, and Resilience

A Practical Farmer’s Journey

The Surge is a timely, gripping account of humanity's battle against rising waters - and the urgent choices we must make for our future.Rising waters are flooding cities and homes across the globe, from Florida to Nepal. By 2050, 150 million people will live below the high tide line, facing an uncertain future as cities like London and Shanghai grapple with worsening floods. In this timely, panoramic and gripping book, climate editor Jeevan Vasagar traces humanity's responses to flooding over the centuries, from the deadly North Sea floods of 1953 to the catastrophic events of today.He explores the costly and complicated choices governments face: fight the water with ever- expanding defences, or adapt and move? Drawing on groundbreaking engineering solutions, Vasagar argues for a radical rethink - combining resistance and accommodation as we reimagine our cities. A stark warning, but also a message of hope, The Surge is essential reading for understanding how climate change is reshaping our world - and what we can do about it.
