Fox Jeremy: The Ecology of Ecologists

The Ecology of Ecologists

Harnessing Diverse Approaches for a Stronger Science

'The Rights of Nature movement is one of the few rays of light on the dimming horizons of a planet. Jessica den Outer takes readers on a journey across the globe to chart the achievements of&nbsp; courageous activists, indigenous leaders and legal innovators' - Amitav Ghosh

'Jessica den Outer lends her voice to forests, rivers, and ecosystems that cannot speak for themselves. Read this book and you will be inspired to take action'&nbsp;- Jane Goodall

As the world grapples with the escalating climate crisis, ecosystems are collapsing, and the planet's future hangs in the balance. For centuries, our legal systems have treated nature as something to be owned and exploited, but a bold new movement is challenging this paradigm.

In The Forest Fights Back, Jessica den Outer explores a groundbreaking global movement - Rights of Nature - taking on the legal system to recognise the rights of rivers, forests, and mountains to exist, flourish, and sustain their ecological balance. From the fight for the Whanganui River in New Zealand to the battle for Spain's Mar Menor lagoon, den Outer highlights the campaigns led by grassroots communities, telling stories of determination and legal ingenuity. This movement goes beyond law - it represents a cultural shift that could reshape how we live, think, co-exist and advocate for nature.

Jessica den Outer is an expert in environmental law who advocates globally for the Rights of Nature. Since 2017, she's been consulted by and has spoken for institutions such as the UN and Harvard. She founded the NGO 'Stichting Rechten van de Natuur' and has received numerous awards for her pioneering work.

The Forest Fights Back

Governing AI is about getting AI right. Building upon AI scholarship in science and technology studies, technology law, business ethics, and computer science, it documents potential risks and actual harms associated with AI, lists proposed solutions to AI-related problems around the world, and assesses their impact. The book presents a vast range of theoretical debates and empirical evidence to document how and how well technical solutions, business self-regulation, and legal regulation work. It is a call to think inside and outside the box. Technical solutions, business self-regulation, and especially legal regulation can mitigate and even eliminate some of the potential risks and actual harms arising from the development and use of AI. However, the long-term health of the relationship between technology and society depends on whether ordinary people are empowered to participate in making informed decisions to govern the future of technology - AI included.

A Primer

Governing AI

A novel assessment of the interplay between law and ecology in forest management Trees are the embodiment of existence: abundant, regenerative, irrepressible. Yet as more of the planet undergoes profound and accelerating climate change, deforestation, loss of biotic diversity, and a pitiless spread of pests and pathogens, which trees—if any—will thrive are increasingly urgent questions. Managing healthy forests remains factually uncertain, an uneasy dance between law and science. How can law facilitate or even accelerate the application of forest ecology on landscapes like our national forests? This book is a thorough exploration of that question from more than a century of intersections of law and science on the national forests. With a focus on law—as distinct from mere policy—as an agent in human relations and as a catalyst of scientific research, it makes the case that we can and must do better to solve intractable land management problems.

Virtuelle Lebenswelten

Die Universität ist immer schon eine Institution der Virtualität gewesen. Sie nimmt andere Welten, Gesellschaften, Wissensformen, Naturen oder Techniken in den Blick und ist eine Institution der Spekulationen ohne doppelten Boden - vor allem aber ein Raum des Austauschs, der Zirkulation und der Kommunikation sowie der Medien, die all dies ermöglichen. Die Beiträge machen Virtualität nicht nur zum Gegenstand, sondern begreifen sie als Medium der Forschung, der Lehre und der Universität. Sie erinnern an das, was wir tun, wenn wir an der Universität forschen und lehren und dabei über diese Institution nachdenken, indem wir die Möglichkeiten ihrer Zukünfte und die Versprechen ihrer Vergangenheiten ausloten.

What Everyone Needs To Know®

An eye-opening examination of food and nutrition that reveals the truth about what we eat and why it matters, while helping readers distinguish between science and disinformation and inspiring eaters to create healthy and sustainable diets for all. From plant-based meat to ultra-processed foods, GMOs to grass-fed beef, our newsfeeds abound with food and nutrition advice-and a lot of it just isn't true. From sensational headlines to social media anecdotes, misinformation doesn't make it easy for eaters just trying to get a healthy meal on the table. Meanwhile, congested food environments fuel incessant consumption, making everyday diets more like an all-you-can-eat buffet-and not in a good way. There is an urgent need for evidence-based guidance that nurtures good health, well-being, and green eating, and Harvard- and Columbia-trained scientist and food lover Dr. P.K. Newby heeds the call. In Food and Nutrition: What Everyone Needs to Know®, Newby cuts through the confusion, addressing 158 standalone questions on why what we eat matters, farm to fork and far beyond. With wisdom and wit, Newby shines a spotlight on today's food challenges while showing that the whole diet is greater than the sum of its parts, and one size doesn't fit all. The book applies an ecological lens, delving into the interconnected aspects of health, environment, economy, and society, reminding that food isn't just medicine, nor is individual nutrition its only offering. This second edition dives deeper into the global agrifood system, revealing striking new data on plant-based diets, longevity, and sustainability; food and mental health; diet, COVID-19, and immunity; megafactory farming and climate change; and ultra-processed foods and chronic disease. Newby's passion for all things food shines through it all, as does her belief in the power of the human spirit, science, and technology to create healthy and sustainable diets for ourselves, our future, and for the planet we share. The time for the next food revolution is now.

Food and Nutrition

Trust is the missing skill of the AI era. This book shows you how to build it. AI systems already advise our doctors, tutor our children, and drive our cars. They sound confident while being wrong, intimate without being responsible, and authoritative without being accountable. Our instincts for deciding whom to trust are no match for machines that fake understanding at scale. The question is not whether AI will reshape society. It is whether humans will remain in the driver's seat when it does. In The Trust Code, Tiffany Xingyu Wang-a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, USPTO patent holder, and digital safety pioneer who helped build AI systems protecting over a billion users-delivers the first comprehensive framework for practicing trust as a discipline in the age of AI. Trust is not a feeling. It is a decision. And it is the most consequential one you will make. Through three movements-rethink trust, decode AI, reclaim your agency-you will learn: <ul> <li>A new language for trust-where it comes from, what it rests on, and why your instincts can mislead you-so you create common ground when everyone talks past each other</li> <li>The hidden pattern behind major technological leaps from the printing press to autonomous vehicles, and why AI is the first to break it</li> <li>The forces driving AI forward-curiosity, greed, and fear-and how to separate earned trust from demanded trust so you see clearly instead of react blindly</li> <li>Thousands of AI risks distilled into three categories you can act on-mirrors, weapons, and ghosts-freeing you to decide what to mitigate, constrain, or refuse</li> <li>With clear sight and firm boundaries, what AI makes possible as it transforms how we create, heal, and power the world, and how we can stay at the center of that promise</li> <li>C.A.L.I.B.R.A.T.E.-a nine-step practice that turns trust from a feeling you have into a judgment you make, from the boardroom to your child's screen time</li> </ul> The Trust Code is essential reading for leaders, technologists, parents, and anyone who refuses to let algorithms decide what deserves their trust. The question is no longer whether to trust AI. It is how to trust wisely.

Our Artificial Future

Routledge Studies of the Extractive Industries and Sustainable Development

This book examines the social, environmental, and political sustainability of Peru's mining industry as it seeks to garner the benefits of the energy transition between now and 2050.As the global shift toward net-zero emissions accelerates, Peru is uniquely positioned to play a vital role in the energy transition, thanks to its abundant reserves of critical minerals. This growing global demand presents an unprecedented opportunity for the country to harness its natural wealth to support sustainable development. Yet, the experiences of the past 25 years have shown that maximizing these benefits requires more than resource abundance alone. Social and environmental challenges have too often accompanied mining expansion, leading to significant conflicts around new projects. This book moves the conversation forward by offering a deeper understanding of the structural challenges posed by modern industrial mining and identifying the public policies needed to address them. It goes beyond the traditional 'resource curse' narrative to explore how mining can serve as a driver of inclusive growth - provided it is responsibly managed, transparently governed, and aligned with the needs of affected communities. A key message is that the future of mining in Peru depends on building a stronger, more democratic, and participatory state: one capable of representing all sectors of society, not just corporate interests. By learning from past missteps and committing to institutional reforms that promote dialogue, accountability, and equitable development, Peru can chart a new path. The goal is not simply to avoid conflict, but to contribute to a governance model and the building of institutional mechanisms capable of meeting and resolving variant interests in society, and that enable mining to contribute meaningfully to national well-being and long-term sustainability. While Peru provides key examples of the problems arising from mining development, it typifies problems encountered elsewhere not just in Latin America but further afield. It will therefore be of interest to a far wider readership concerned with the extractive industries.This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of mining and the extractive industries, Latin American development, and natural resource management more widely, as well as those involved in government and NGOs.

An investigation into one of the largest and most lucrative mineral mining companies in the world, Rio Tinto, Extraction Politics reveals how the company constructs a presence in the places it operates and shapes meanings and orientations toward the environment. Taking readers on a "rhetorical pilgrimage" across the American Southwest, Nicholas Paliewicz shows how Rio Tinto creates adaptable corporate identities. From Ronald Reagan's frontiersman advertisements for the Borax Mine in California to the pioneer Mormon persona at Bingham Canyon Mine in Salt Lake City and the folksy, paternalistic perspective toward the San Carlos Apache at the proposed mine at Oak Flat, Arizona, the company appropriates local history to embed itself as a valued member of the public--without having to settle in those ecological communities and bear the costs of extraction. This does not occur without resistance, however. Paliewicz also shows how activists use these same tactics to expose Rio Tinto as an exploitative, colonialist polluter.In an era of surging demand for dwindling supplies of minerals and metals, this book previews what the future of extractivism may look like. Extraction Politics will appeal to scholars and students of environmental communication and activist politics as well as general readers interested in the climate crisis.

Whether you want to criticise, kill, or use AI, you have to get through the hype and uncover the real story. Start with labour: in automation theory, a centaur is a person who chooses to use technology to help them do the things that matter to them. A reverse centaur is a person who has been conscripted to serve as a helper for a machine, at an inhuman, machine pace: a driver made to deliver all day long, nonstop; a warehouse worker made to work without food or bathroom breaks; a programmer made to crank out impossible amounts of code. As Doctorow says: it’s not enough to ask what the technology does – we have to understand who it’s doing it for and who it’s doing it to. The intended audience for AI hype isn’t the people who are forced to use AI. The AI show is a performance staged for bosses and investors. . Investment bankers claim AI will to be worth more than $16 trillion: a number that only makes sense if AI replaces vast swathes of the wage-earning human workforce. To justify that level of "value," every story about AI must be presented as inevitable, world-changing disruption. Even the tales of the robot apocalypse are a calculated attempt to bolster the fearsome power of AI. Anything that can’t go on forever eventually stops. When the AI bubble bursts, what will we salvage? Is there something in the wreckage that everyday people will find useful? In The Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Life After AI - as he so successfully did in Enshittification - Doctorow recounts both how we found ourselves in this dire situation and how we can get through it, to a life "after" AI in which the tools work for us, not the other way around.
