A striking collection of 90 photographs depicting the rugged grandeur of the Northwest Coast’s Great Bear Rainforest. Spirit of the Great Bear&nbsp;is an immersive journey through the vast wilderness habitat of the spirit bear, the rare white-furred variant of Kermode bears that has long featured in First Nations oral traditions. While much of Great Bear Rainforest is protected—it is the largest intact coastal temperate rainforest on Earth—today there are as few as 100 of the bears remaining, making it one of the world's rarest animals. Wildlife photographer and conservationist Jack Plant has spent the last decade exploring the rainforest in search of spirit bears and documenting the natural beauty of this coastal habitat, relying heavily on the guidance and traditional knowledge generously shared by the First Nations communities who have protected the region for thousands of years. Plant was adopted by Hereditary Chief Charlie Mason of Kitasoo/Xai’xais First Nation in the community of Klemtu. Spirit of the Great Bear&nbsp;features photographic accounts of Plant’s wild and memorable encounters with the white bears, as well as with other extraordinary species found in the Great Bear Rainforest, including grizzly bears, black bears, wolves, orcas, and humpback whales. The book examines the natural and human-caused threats to the rich biodiversity of the Rainforest while highlighting the substantial progress Indigenous leaders and conservationists have made to protect one of the most biodiverse landscapes in the world. It’s both a celebration of the spirit bear’s resilience and its wilderness home, and an urgent reminder of the need to protect this special and vulnerable ecosystem.

Spirit of the Great Bear

The lives of the world's poorest are already harder, hotter, and shorter, thanks to the actions and emissions of the world's richest. But just as the rich world's emissions are finally falling, emissions from poorer countries are set to increase drastically. We seem to be caught in an impossible bind-but it's not too late to find a way out. In Just Economics, renowned economists Abhijit Banerjee, Esther Duflo (co-recipients of the 2019 Nobel Prize), and Michael Greenstone propose a radical new approach to combatting the climate crisis, arguing that climate deterioration is inseparable from our polycrisis of mass migration, political instability and the resurgence of populist nationalism. We cannot make progress, they show, without compensating those harmed by climate change and incentivizing developing countries to reduce their emissions, to our benefit too. Morality and self-interest are no longer mutually exclusive. Based on meticulous original research and years of fieldwork around the world witnessing and quantifying the real impact of climate change on those most affected, this inspiring work shows it's not impossible to protect the poor while protecting our future-it's just economics.

How to Think Like an Ecologist offers a witty and engaging guide to the science behind restoring the planet and, by association, ourselves.Aimed at non-science students, this book demystifies the basic science of environmental global changes, from climate change to biodiversity loss, while tackling the natural constraints that shape our future. The book dives into the unique power of science as a tool for uncovering truths about the natural world and equips readers with strategies to spot and counter scientific misinformation. Exploring how differing views of nature can spark conflict, it emphasises the importance of clarity and community in setting environmental priorities. To address environmental challenges requires a basic ecological literacy, so the science of ecology and evolution are examined. The text unpacks the interconnected crises we face, from plastic pollution, invasive species, ocean acidification, and more, arguing for holistic, systemic solutions. The final chapters inspire action, addressing what it takes to create a sustainable society and how to cultivate hope in these challenging times.Filled with innovative ideas and real-world examples, this alternative textbook is a must-read for students in introductory environmental courses and those in other disciplines seeking to grasp the fundamental science behind our rapidly changing global environment.

A Non-Scientist's Guide to Saving Our Planet

How to Think Like an Ecologist

A bold and brilliant new collection of essays by one of our most important writers of life in America today This new collection gathers together for the first time sixteen essays by one of our most revered chroniclers of life in America, a landmark commentary on family, faith, community, and the threats of modernization. Ranging from the devastating effects of war on children to the endless problems of industrialism and the ubiquitous need for connection and community, Dispatches From Rural America captures a country isolated from its land and beginnings, too focused on mass production and output, and perilously estranged from the spiritual centers that make up the foundation of our lives.&nbsp; On the cusp of the fiftieth anniversary of Berry’s seminal book The Unsettling of America, Dispatches From Rural America is urgent and vital reading in this time of political chaos from one of our most important writers.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER&nbsp;• The author of Finding the Mother Tree offers a powerful vision for saving our forests based on nature’s deep-rooted cycles of renewal. "A masterclass on the inner workings of forests. . . . This is science as an act of love for the world.” —Zoë Schlanger, author of The Light Eaters Early one spring morning, I went back to the forest. I wanted to learn what the mother trees could teach me about survival and adaptability, about living and dying. Raised in a family of loggers committed to sensible forest stewardship, trailblazing ecologist Suzanne Simard has watched as timber companies leave forests at higher risk for wildfires,&nbsp;water crises, and plant and animal extinction. But her research has the potential to chart a new course. The forest, she reveals, is a symphony of finely honed cycles of regeneration—from mushrooms breaking down logs to dying elder trees passing their genetic knowledge to younger ones—that hold the key to protecting our forests. Working closely with local Indigenous communities, whose models of responsible forestry have been largely dismissed, Simard examines how human interventions—particularly destruction of the overstory's mother trees—endanger new growth and longevity. If we can honor the tools that trees have honed for sharing intergenerational wisdom, she argues, we can protect these sacred places for many years to come. As she considers how older living things facilitate the conditions for new growth to flourish, Simard faces parallel rhythms of loss and regeneration in her own life, watching her two daughters grow into adults and savoring her final days with her ailing mother. Animated by wonder for our forests and the intricate practices of caretaking that have long sustained them, When the Forest Breathes is a vital reminder of all the natural world has to teach us about adaptability, resilience, and community.

Renewal and Resilience in the Natural World

When the Forest Breathes

A deep exploration of the opportunities and risks a global digital economy poses for refugees. Digital Exiles opens a rare window into the world of refugees trying to survive and thrive in an increasingly digitalized and technological world of work. Often excluded from local employment and struggling to make ends meet, refugees are increasingly dependent on digital jobs and online work as a financial lifeline. Andreas Hackl offers a human-centered and global perspective to these struggles through his research into three of the most important refugee-hosting countries: Lebanon, Kenya, and Germany. The pursuit of a digital livelihood—from attending coding schools in Berlin to training datasets for AI in crisis-stricken Lebanon to online freelancing in Kenya’s refugee camps—represents an increasingly important income opportunity for refugees. Digital work programs by aid organizations and the private sector aim to help the forcibly displaced become self-reliant and successful workers, yet, for many, it creates new forms of exclusion, precarity, and risk. Combining human stories with insights from five years of multisited research and applied work with leading organizations, the author presents an alternative vision of an inclusive world of work that can help shape the fair digital economy of the future.

This book explores the role of material entities and processes in shaping political lives in Turkey. The unifying thread of its chapters is to challenge the rendering of the material world as a mere background to or object in politics, revealing the formative role of material entities and processes in political processes of infrastructure construction, knowledge production, and technical expertise in Turkey. Chapters explore the politics of material entities such as roads, canals, oilfields, and mines as well as less elaborated material sites, including military bases, soccer fields, and wetlands. In the context of Turkey's ongoing politics of 'modernisation', these interdisciplinary case studies from the fields of anthropology of infrastructure and extraction, science and technology studies, and environmental humanities, provide important new analytical and theoretical approaches to understanding Turkish politics at local, national, and transnational scales.

Strikingly original and abundantly illustrated,&nbsp;The Art of Biodiversity&nbsp;surveys the golden age of natural history art, exploring the alliance between scientists and artists that first revealed the astonishing diversity of life on Earth.With more than 330 color illustrations of surpassing beauty,&nbsp;this book reveals&nbsp;a story about art that's not in the art history books, and a story about science that's missing from histories of science. Here, such giants as Linnaeus, Buffon, Cuvier, Humboldt, and Darwin cross paths with superb artists, including Merian, Redouté, Audubon, and Haeckel, among many others.An essential visual companion to popular narratives like Andrea Wulf's&nbsp;The Invention of Nature&nbsp;and&nbsp;Jason Roberts's&nbsp;Every Living Thing, this volume provides a definitive archival record of the era that defined modern biology.Between 1700 and 1900, an art movement unveiled nature's great secret: the global diversity of life-forms. Centuries before the word "biodiversity" existed, naturalists began to glimpse the reality that lay behind Charles Darwin's lyrical evocation of nature's "endless forms most beautiful."The naturalists recruited artists to create a family album of Earth, with every picture a precise drawing of a species of plant or animal, and so science and art, for the first and last time, went exploring together.This art first appeared in vividly illustrated books that, in a world without photography or film, offered readers a vastly expanded vision of nature.&nbsp;The Art of Biodiversity&nbsp;introduces the reader to the extraordinary men and women who created these books. They focused exquisite artistic skills on nature, traded in exotic seashells and butterflies, collected bird and monkey specimens in tropical rainforests, dredged strange invertebrates from the depths of the ocean, peered through magnifying lenses at insects, and dug prehistoric bones out of the earth.After sinking out of sight in the twentieth century, biodiversity art resurfaced in the twenty-first in myriad forms that reach millions of people on the Internet, as the natural history books in the world's great libraries were digitized and made available to all.Chronicling the only art movement that successfully aligned the goals of art and science, for the transcendent purpose of documenting and understanding the natural world,&nbsp;The Art of Biodiversity is a must-have for historians of science, collectors of botanical and zoological art, and anyone captivated by the enduring beauty of the living world.

Artists & Naturalists, 1700–1900

The Art of Biodiversity

A collection of eye-opening natural experiments, showing how economists uncover cause-and-effect relationships and reveal insights about our world. Does having a daughter change how a congressperson votes? How did a nineteenth-century doctor help discover germs? Is it better to go first or second in a penalty shootout? Why don’t diplomats pay their parking tickets? Do leaders really matter? These are all questions economists ask. Some of these questions are serious, others less consequential. But all are interesting—and can be answered by way of the natural experiment. A natural experiment is an event in the real world that neatly divides people into a treatment and control group—and it is one of the greatest tools in the economist’s toolkit. In Daughters, Diplomats, and Death, Patrick Gourley discusses why and how economists have leveraged this powerful method to answer questions that were long thought unanswerable. In the vein of Freakonomics, Nudge, and The Tipping Point, the book takes the reader on a lively and engaging tour of some of the most fascinating natural experiments, explaining how they work, how they help social scientists answer questions, and what conclusions they reached. The experiments illuminate a wide range of timely issues in health, education, reproductive issues, and the environment, lending rich and much-needed nuance to the complex debates that shape today’s headlines.

Traces the early history of economic knowledge developed by thinkers between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. Tracking the pre-history of economic thought starting in the sixteenth century, The Lost Forms of Economic Knowledge investigates its origins prior to the emergence of political economy as an autonomous discipline in the late eighteenth century. French historian Arnaud Orain reconstructs the "lost forms" of economic knowledge that led to a world very different from our modern system of numerical abstraction and market regulation. As Orain shows, older approaches to the economy defined it as a relationship between humans and the environment. These earlier forms of economic thought relied on and sought to advance vernacular knowledge from figures such as naturalists, artisans, farmers, and merchants on how to harness the environment to our advantage. Nonetheless, the goal was not to maximize profit, but to satisfy our needs and live in harmony with nature. At a time in which natural resources are fast depleting, Orain argues, we could do worse than to consider alternative approaches to "economics" that lie in our past.

On the Balance of Living Beings

The Lost Forms of Economic Knowledge

When their summer settlement is flooded without warning, a family of Sámi women must fight for their way of life in a changing world, in this powerful, haunting novel. 'Heartachingly beautiful' Lisa Ridzén, author of WHEN THE CRANES FLY SOUTH '[An] intimate story of infuriating discrimination' Guardian Every summer, Ingá, her mother Rávdná, and her Aunt Ánne travel west to their village on the lake. But the summer Ingá is thirteen, they arrive to find their home and possessions have disappeared under water, the land flooded by a dam built to supply hydropower to a society that has continually stolen from them. The Home of the Drowned follows these women's fortunes over forty years - from 1942 to 1982 - as the water their people have lived near for centuries is transformed into a menacing force that threatens all they hold dear. Defying the authorities, Rávdná decides to build a house on the lake to replace what was lost, becoming an unlikely activist. Meanwhile, Ánne's health is in decline, and a concerned Ingá merely longs to live like everyone else - an impossible wish when the Swedish state is relentlessly drowning her world. Elin Anna Labba's debut novel brings Sámi history to the fore, revealing connections between land, water and people that hauntingly reverberate with the question: what is it that makes a home? Translated by Elizabeth Clark Wessel 'Powerful... explores memory, marginalisation and what happens when collective wisdom is washed away' Financial Times 'In this story of the struggle of a family of Sámi women... the great saga of humanity seems mystically encoded. . .With the heft of myth and the urgency of activism, this book is a clear-eyed portal into a world of wonder, injustice, resilience, and hope' Damian Le Bas, author of THE DROWNED PLACES
