Integrating Artificial Intelligence Into

Integrating Artificial Intelligence Into the Energy Sector

A fairer, healthier, more caring and sustainable society is entirely within our grasp. The renowned co-author of The Spirit Level shows us the way.'An uplifting vision for solving inequality that benefits everyone' ANDY BURNHAM'Poverty and inequality are at the heart of all our problems. Kate Pickett's book shows how tackling them must be at the heart of our solutions too' ZACK POLANSKI'Just what these times are crying out for' KATE RAWORTHHow do we ensure that everyone has good health and receives the care they need? How do we provide education that allows every child to flourish? How do we ensure safety, justice and a sustainable environment for all?In this inspiring book, world-leading social scientist Kate Pickett shows that to make a good society - in which everyone has what they need to be well, and everyone would be better off - we must prioritise the health, care, education and rehabilitation of those who have the least and suffer the most. Drawing on decades of proven solutions and success stories from around the globe, The Good Society cuts to the essence of the challenges we face and presents us with a practical, perspective-shifting vision for how to tackle them.'Genuinely transformative. A powerful and deeply humane vision that focuses on what really matters' DANIEL CHANDLER'Daringly optimistic' FINANCIAL TIMES'Electrifying' POLLY MORLAND'Vital ... shines a light for hope' INDEPENDENT

Everyone is talking about sustainability, yet its concrete meaning and consequences are often unclear. This handbook explains how global goals, climate change, and policy in the UN, EU 27, Germany, US, UK, and China fit together and shape our future.
It leads the reader from core concepts and key international agreements through a concise stock taking and long term outlook to concrete instruments for a more sustainable world. The handbook focuses on the real impact of global and European measures on economies, societies, and the planet. The role of Germany, the US, UK, and China is presented in each case.
Prof. Fieber assesses the achievements of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement. The countries responsible for global warming are identified and their contributions to improving the situation are compared. In addition, the advantages of liberal democracy over autocracy for achieving greater sustainability in one's own country and worldwide are a subject of this book.
The author¿s aim is to sharpen reader¿s awareness of the necessity for climate action while showing that ambitious sustainability policy can secure stable ecological, social, and economic foundations for future generations. 
It should also be made clear that every individual can contribute to greater sustainability. Taken together, government policy and these personal contributions can bring about a significant improvement in sustainability worldwide.

This book provides a concise and interdisciplinary introduction to sustainable development, examining its historical evolution, legal foundations, and contemporary governance challenges. It traces the emergence of sustainability from early ecological warnings to its institutionalization through international frameworks, demonstrating how sustainable development has become a central organizing principle of global policy.Organized around seven thematic chapters, the book covers the conceptual and legal foundations of sustainability, its core governance principles, socio-technical transition pathways, property and commons theory, global sustainability finance, and the implications of digitalization and artificial intelligence for development. Each chapter integrates legal analysis, governance theory, and, in some cases, real-world case studies to show how sustainability principles move from rhetoric to enforceable norms. Key features include accessible chapter abstracts, a comprehensive list of abbreviations, and a structured list of figures supporting visual learning. The book approaches sustainable development not as a technical toolkit but as a political and institutional challenge requiring systemic reform.The volume is intended for undergraduate and postgraduate students in environmental studies, law, governance, economics, and public policy, as well as researchers, practitioners, and policymakers engaged with sustainability transitions, international environmental law, and development governance.

The Fight for the Future of Work

We Are Not Machines

The next choice we make is the last chance we have. Ten thousand years ago, wild cats wandered into a human grain store. Over generations, gorged with a plentiful supply of prey, they traded their raw instincts for a life of dependency as our household pets. Today, domestic cats are more comfortable than ever but they can no longer hunt effectively. Their brains are 16% smaller than their distant ancestors. They are domesticated. AI is turning the modern world into a cognitive grain store. And we are the cats. In this groundbreaking and vital book, leading AI researcher and campaigner James F. Ryan charts our relationship with transformative technologies - from writing to AI - and explains why this time it's different. Large language models like ChatGPT are not just tools, but are remaking our brains and eroding our ability to think. From the workplace and our relationships to our schools and universities, we face an urgent battle to safeguard human thought. The Domestication sets out the evidence, the imposing challenge we face, and how we respond.

This open access book critically analyses a wide range of consumer law issues generated or exacerbated by the Internet of Things. The Internet of Things challenges many of the dichotomies which have shaped current laws: goods-services, hardware-software, tangible-intangible, online-offline. The book focuses on 4 specific challenges: things-as-service, liability, bricking of physical devices through software control, and the potential for enhanced personalisation, especially for digital assistants. The chapters analyse specific applications such as smart homes, connected cars, and consumer wearables with a view to providing innovative solutions to the new challenges posed by the Internet of Things, and to steer the development of the Internet of Things in a fairer direction. As well as offering an important analysis of the potential for smart consumer laws in the Internet of Things, the book also provides important insights into the growing divergence between Germany's and the UK's consumer laws since Brexit. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by UKRI (Arts and Humanities Research Council) and the German Research Foundation (DFG).

This book presents a rigorous, practitioner-ready framework for determining when interventional causal claims can be validly drawn from observational data. By integrating potential outcomes (PO), structural causal models (SCMs), directed acyclic graphs (DAGs), quasi-experimental and longitudinal designs, information-theoretic approaches, and modern machine-learning methods with decision-analytic principles, it identifies necessary conditions for each step of the causal inference process, from defining estimands and identifying causal effects to study design, measurement, estimation, interpretation, robustness, and external validity. The framework is operationalized through practical checklists, tables, diagnostic and falsification tests, and AI-assisted tools, making it accessible across fields such as epidemiology, environmental and occupational health, and regulatory risk analysis. Designed to meet the needs of professionals making high-stakes decisions based on nonexperimental data, the book addresses the lack of clear, testable criteria for credible causal inference. Real-world examples throughout the book illustrate diagnostics, falsification tests, and robustness checks, linking evidence directly to decision-making. Bridging multiple causal frameworks and modern machine-learning methods, it equips readers to assess when data support cause-and-effect conclusions, supporting more responsible, evidence-based policy and risk management.The book offers health risk analysts, epidemiologists, and policy professionals a practical guide to valid causal inference from observational data. It is also ideal for graduate students and workshop participants in data science, decision analysis, risk analysis, and AI/ML applications.
