Global Challenges in the Environmental Humanities

Adopting a multidisciplinary approach to climate adjudication, this book addresses how adjudicators decide cases by considering the influence of psychology, philosophy, legal education, film, literature, political economy, political ecology, judicial appointments, history, and climate science on their decision-making and ultimately on the (inconsistent) outcomes in climate cases. Drawing upon the humanities, science of climate change and/or social sciences to identify extra-legal factors that may drive the decision-making processes and outcomes of climate cases, this book uses case studies from different jurisdictions across the globe, addressing climate cases decided or pending in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin and North America, and Oceania. In all, the volume will: - Engage with extra-legal influence to how show judges and arbitrators make their decisions in climate cases, shedding light on the inconsistent responses that climate cases have generated so far - Challenge assumptions of legal universalism, by recognising differences in how the law works in various - Inform actors involved in climate litigation (lawyers, judges, arbitrators, disputants), policymakers, and the public about how cases are decided

Adjudicating Climate Change

Penguin Speculative Fiction Special

The first vampire short story in English, The Vampyre by John Polidori, and the first vampire novella, Carmilla by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, are published together in one hardback volume. The Vampyre (1819) features Lord Ruthven, a deathly pale yet fatally charismatic nobleman who preys on women of high society. It is generally considered as the first fully developed vampire narrative in English literature. Carmilla (1871-2) by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu is a nineteenth-century Gothic novella featuring a protagonist who typifies the long line of female and lesbian vampires in literature, movies, television series and artwork. In a castle deep in the Austrian forest, Laura, a young woman, leads an isolated life with her father. A horse-drawn carriage crashes and an unexpected guest, the mysterious and seductive Carmilla, enters their lives.

The Vampyre and Carmilla

Hacks meets Rebecca Makkai in this rollicking novel about a&nbsp;cautious daughter and her eccentric, estranged mother venturing west in search of buried treasure—and a way back to each other After being fired for taking an uncharacteristic risk at her commodities trading job, Bea Macon sublets her New York apartment and books a one-way ticket to stay with her mother, Christy, a free spirit who has been living in Salt Lake City on Bea’s dime. Usually the responsible one, Bea isn’t about to admit exactly why she’s suddenly decided to visit, but she isn’t the only one keeping secrets: Christy has a man. She has a map. She has&nbsp;.&nbsp;.&nbsp;. a username on a forum devoted to unearthing $1 million in buried treasure hidden somewhere in the western US?&nbsp; Bea is convinced this is just another one of her mother’s wild larks. But Christy believes she’s onto something—and she’s arranged a rendezvous in a rural town called Mercy with the guy she’s been obsessively trading theories with online to prove it. Out in the desert that one woman believes to be a promised land, the other a wasteland, Bea and Christy find themselves embroiled in a more high-stakes, transformative escapade than either could have imagined.

The Picture of Dorian Gray in the Twenty-First Century

“Seductive and merciless, The Debtor’s Game turns fae politics into something intimate and dangerous.”—Jean Kwok, New York Times bestselling author “Profoundly dystopian . . . This is fantasy at its most hard-hitting.”—Shalini Abeysekara, author of This Monster of Mine Debtor: One who is owned; a faerie. In the kingdom of Amyria, the High Fae rule all. Faeries are born into servitude to pay off tattooed rings of debt, which can be added to at any time by the mercurial Fae. It is the way of things. Avery serves under Lady Kassandra in the Versara Palace, the pinnacle of high society, where she becomes tangled in a deadly game of politics and power. Avery must help Kassandra escape her violent brother by catching the eye of the soon-to-be-crowned King Maxian. But things go horribly wrong at the coronation, forcing Avery to split her loyalties between Kassandra and Maxian, where one wrong move could cost Avery her family. When Avery discovers earth-shattering secrets about the High Fae, she stops playing fair—for the game is rigged . . . and she just might find the key to freeing them all. “Stunning from beginning to end” (Library Journal, starred review), The Debtor’s Game is a dark fantasy novel of staggering scope and imagination—one that shows the best way to deal with an unjust system is to tear it out by its roots.

The captured, incapacitated Huo Wujiu, his concubine—and the general whose vengeance will end the Jing dynasty. But Jiang Suizhou’s not going down with the ship! He joins hands with Huo Wujiu with a promise—protection now for protection in the future—and seeks out a physician to heal Huo Wujiu’s legs. The two men’s bond and trust deepens as they step beyond their mutual obligations to trade blows with Minister Pang, the puppeteer pulling the corrupt court’s strings.

After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine (Novel) Vol. 2

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “After his spectacular Lincoln in the Bardo, Saunders returns . . . with a new novel even more spectacular than the last.”—Los Angeles Times A “daring” (Time) novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling, Booker Prize–winning author of A Swim in a Pond in the Rain and Tenth of December, 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 “Vibrant, fiendishly clever . . . Vigil is pure Saunders: the death of empathy, he insists, is greatly exaggerated.”—The Boston Globe Not for the first time, Jill “Doll” Blaine finds herself hurtling toward earth, reconstituting as she falls, right down to her favorite 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 343 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, epic life, and the world is better for it. Isn’t it? Vigil transports us, careening, through the wild final evening of a complicated man. Visitors begin to arrive (worldly and otherworldly, alive and dead), clamoring for a reckoning. Birds swarm the dying man’s room; a black calf grazes on the love seat; a man from a distant, drought-ravaged village materializes; two oil-business cronies from decades past show up with chilling plans for Boone’s postdeath future. With the wisdom, playfulness, 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.
