A Barrister for the Earth

'Law could be our planet's greatest hope' - Isabella Tree

Advanced Composites

With the rapid advancement in micro and nano-scale composite technologies, there is an increasing need to understand their mechanical, thermal, and structural behavior to design the next generation of materials for aerospace, automotive, biomedical, and industrial applications. The book is organized into twelve chapters, each focusing on specific innovations and methods in micro and nano composites. It begins with an introductory chapter on the basic concepts of micro and nano composites, setting the stage for more complex evaluations in later chapters. Then it delves into the mechanical and thermal properties of composites enhanced by graphene nanoparticles and explores hybrid composites using natural fibers like crab shell and jute. The advancement of 3D-printed composites, specifically carbon fiber-reinforced PLA, is covered using the Taguchi method. Subsequent chapters investigate the development of biocomposite materials using hemp, kenaf, and nut shell powders, alongside studies on metal matrix composites, wear characteristics, and surface engineering using micro powders and nanoparticles. Key topics like friction stir processing and the integration of micro metal particles in additive manufacturing provide insights into both fabrication techniques and material behavior. The book also features research on hybrid composites, such as titanium, molybdenum, and vanadium for agricultural applications and magnesium-based materials reinforced with nanoparticles for biomedical uses.

Routledge Studies in Management, Organizations and Society

Sustainable Innovation in Africa: Prospects, Challenges and Trends provides a timely and in-depth examination of how innovation is reshaping African sustainability. As African economies navigate rapid urbanisation, climate change, technological disruption and socio-economic transformation, this book explores the ways in which sustainability-oriented innovation can serve as a strategic pathway toward inclusive growth and reliance over a long period of time and stewardship of the environment.The volume presents a multidisciplinary perspective by integrating insights from management, economics, technology, governance and environmental studies. It assesses the prospective sustainable innovation within Africa's special cultural, institutional and economic context, while critically engaging with the structural and policy-related challenges that continue to mold innovation outcomes. Key themes include green business models, responsible governance, human capital development, digital transformation and the role of emerging technologies in driving sustainability. As a result of conceptual analysis, case studies and empirical evidence mainly grounded in African contexts, the volume highlights how organizations and industries are responding to sustainability imperatives. The authors give special attention to banking, urban development, banking and services, showing the way in which innovation can be leveraged to address environmental challenges, improve efficiency and enhance social value creation. The volume explores emerging changes influencing sustainable innovation in Africa, including artificial intelligence, digitalisation, smart cities, green supply chains and board-level diversity.By linking theory with practice, it offers actionable insights for decision-makers seeking to integrate sustainability, strategy and operations. Crafted for policymakers, scholars, business leaders, development practitioners and postgraduate students, the book contributes to the developing discourses on Africa's sustainable future and provides a forward-looking framework for harnessing innovation as a driver of transformative change.

Managing Aviation Operations

This book offers a comprehensive and management-oriented analysis of sustainability in the aviation industry. It examines aviation's crucial role in global mobility and economic development whilst also critically addressing its environmental, social and regulatory challenges. Readers will benefit by gaining a realistic, analytically sound framework for evaluating sustainability strategies in aviation. The book supports informed decision-making, helps to anticipate regulatory and market developments, and enables readers to better balance economic performance with environmental responsibility and social acceptance in a highly complex and globally interconnected industry.By adopting a holistic ESG perspective, the book integrates environmental impacts such as climate change and noise, social issues including equity, accessibility and labour conditions, and governance aspects like regulation, reporting and stakeholder accountability. Rather than presenting simplified solutions, it highlights trade-offs, uncertainties and long-term path dependencies that shape strategic decision-making in aviation. The structured approach combines conceptual foundations with industry-specific insights, covering regulation, technology, sustainability reporting and strategic management practices.The book is relevant for all managers in the aviation industry, whether they work for airlines, airports, air traffic control organisations, regulatory authorities or political decision-makers. It is particularly important for environmental managers throughout the aviation industry, but also for managers at a senior level, as sustainability is becoming a strategic issue of growing importance. In addition, the book is valuable for students in aviation management programmes as well as for students in related fields such as aeronautical engineering and tourism management.

Legal and Ethical Issues of Chilling Effect

What if climate change isn't an environmental challenge, but an energy challenge? Sunday Times Book of the Year 'Fascinating' JAMES O'BRIEN 'Thrilling...vividly written, filled with fascinating facts, and inspiring' STEVEN PINKER 'So interesting ... it'll answer all our questions' JEREMY VINE 'I challenge you to read this book and not be excited about how we get on and power the world with sustainable energy for the next century' HANNAH RITCHIE In this visionary book, Dr Tim Gregory urges us to rethink the path to net zero. He argues that the solution to climate change lies not simply in replacing fossil fuels with renewables, but in fully embracing another energy source that emits zero carbon dioxide: nuclear power. Gregory dismantles the conventional wisdom that renewables such as wind and solar are completely 'green', and debunks myths surrounding nuclear waste and radiation, demonstrating that nuclear power is not only reliable, safe and potent, but the most environmentally responsible way to harvest energy. Going Nuclear calls for decarbonisation to be the twenty-first century's Apollo programme. By interweaving scientific optimism, myth-busting data, and ambitious policy ideas, Gregory illustrates the untapped and boundless potential of the atom beyond just clean energy: from advanced medicine and forensics to atomic gardening and space exploration. This is a bold case for an alternative, sustainable and prosperous future: a world in which abundant energy is available to all.

Navigating a New Era of Responsibility

Stakeholder Capitalism and Corporate Governance in Japan

From the man that the&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;calls “the most important person you’ve never heard of,” renowned Cambridge University economist Sir Partha Dasgupta, comes a paradigm shifting treatise, asking a simple yet profound question—what if we put a value on nature, just as we put a value on everything else?&nbsp;For just about everything of value in life, there is an economic model. If it matters to us, we have found a way to put a dollar amount on it—to quantify its importance in our lives and society. These models and metrics tell us that our economies are healthy because they are growing. And yet for as long as they have existed, our economic models have served us an incomplete picture; they fail to account for the fact that our growth is driven by a resource that we take for&nbsp;free&nbsp;and treat as&nbsp;infinite: nature.&nbsp;Indeed, for centuries we have been using nature as if it were limitless, but more than ever, we are recognizing that our demands on the natural world are unsustainable. In&nbsp;On Natural Capital, award-winning Cambridge University economist Sir Partha Dasgupta lays out a seminal new approach to economics that asks, what if we were to put a value on nature just as we value everything else? Rooted in mankind’s struggle against climate change, Dasgupta’s approach examines the existential need to rethink our relationship to nature and see its preservation as an economic imperative. Challenging much of economic thought that has come before, Dasgupta presents an urgent call to transform the focus and structures of global economics with a profound new model—one so radical that only an economist of his stature could make the world take it seriously.&nbsp;On Natural Capital&nbsp;is a bold and groundbreaking book that could, truly, change everything.
