Natural History

Offering an excellent overview of critical approaches to international payment systems, this open access volume re-introduces the contemporary relevance, origins and aims of the International Clearing Union (ICU), a concept associated with J. M. Keynes and with debates of continued contemporary importance to global political economy. This volume focuses on how ICU proposals interact with economic theory and normative principles of ethics and politics. It examines key contemporary political issues including de-dollarisation, development, overcoming nationalism, principles of fairness in trade and finance, commodity pricing, fixed vs. floating exchange rates, capital controls, the need for planning, and global public investments, as well as urgent issues of climate emergency and ecological breakdown. As such, this important volume provides a wide range of perspectives from both the Global North and Global South, as well as from different disciplines including politics, economics and political theory. 'The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by The University of Helsinki.

Bringing the Idea of International Clearing Union into the Twenty-First Century

Deweaponizing Interdependence

'A tale of rapacious colonialism, Cold War spy games, dazzling technical innovation, big business rivalry, big power geopolitics [...] an unflinching, landmark work on the nature of extractive capitalism' Patrick Radden Keefe, bestselling author of Empire of Painand Say Nothing'Joseph Conrad called colonial ventures in Africa "the vilest scramble for loot that ever disfigured the history of human conscience". After reading this book you might want to add the words "until now"' The TimesHow we became addicted to a supply chain that wreaks havoc across the globe.Epic, shocking, and deeply reported, The Elements of Power tells the story of the war for the global supply of battery metals - essential for the decarbonization of our economies - and the terrible, bloody human cost of this badly misunderstood industry.Congo is rich. Swaths of the war-torn African country lack basic infrastructure, and, after many decades of colonial occupation, its people are officially among the poorest in the world. But hidden beneath the soil are vast quantities of cobalt, lithium, copper, tin, tantalum, tungsten, and other treasures. Recently, this veritable periodic table of resources has become extremely valuable because these metals are essential for the global "energy transition"-the plan for wealthy nations to wean themselves off fossil fuels by shifting to sustainable forms of energy, such as solar and wind. The race to electrify the world's economy has begun, and China has a considerable head start. From Indonesia to South America to Central Africa, Beijing has invested in mines and infrastructure for decades. But the U.S. has begun fighting back with massive investments of its own, as well as sanctions and disruptive tariffs.In this rush for green energy, the world has become utterly reliant on resources unearthed far away and willfully blind to the terrible political, environmental, and social consequences of their extraction. If the Democratic Republic of the Congo possesses such riches, why are its children routinely descending deep into treacherous mines to dig with the most rudimentary of tools, or in some cases their bare hands? Why are Indonesia's seas and skies being polluted in a rush for battery metals? Why is the Western Sahara, a source for phosphates, still being treated like a colony? Who must pay the price for progress?With unparalleled, original reporting, Nicolas Niarchos reveals how the scramble to control these metals and their production is overturning the world order, just as the global race to drill for oil shaped the twentieth century. Exploring the advent of the lithium-ion battery and tracing the supply chain for its production, Niarchos tells the story both of the people driving these tectonic changes and those whose lives are being upended. He reveals the true, devastating consequences of our best intentions and helps us prepare for an uncertain future. If you have ever used a smartphone or driven an electric vehicle, you are implicated.

The Wonder of Life on Earth

The global market in money – housed in the offshore ‘shadow’ banking system – holds $217 trillion in financial assets and operates beyond the reach of any nation’s taxman. Asset managers, private equity firms, and pension and sovereign wealth funds scoop up the world’s savings for investment and manage them as they choose, unaccountable to politicians or the citizens who elect them. In this brilliant, accessible and incisive introduction to the murky world of glo­balized finance, Ann Pettifor links the activities of remote mobile financial markets to both the cost-of-living and climate crises. In an insane global casino, bankers are gambling with our future. When we foot the bill, no one but a few economists understands what has happened. The result is volatile, unpre­dictable and uncontrollable speculation in global commodities, pension, energy, and housing. Pettifor argues that societies and gov­ernments can take back control of the global financial system. We have done it before and can do it again. Indeed, it is imperative that we do so if we are to manage the twin threats of climate breakdown and biosphere collapse.

Evolution's Lessons for a Changing Planet

Nature's Genius

Routledge Studies in Conservation and the Environment

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.

Reliable and Sustainable Electric Power and Energy Systems Management

This book discusses various aspects of future intelligent power grids, covering key topics including the operation of smart grids and microgrids, resource optimization, and energy management. Over the last few decades, the use of solar photovoltaics (PVs) and wind turbine generators has increased significantly in an effort to make future power systems sustainable. However, the intensive integration of renewables in existing electrical networks has raised several control and operational issues due to their limited dispatch capability and intermittent generation. In addition, integrating new electrical loads, such as those produced by electric vehicles, heat pumps, and electric water heaters, in existing distribution networks negatively impacts the power-balance scenario. As such, these developments present both challenges and opportunities for the research community.
 Against this backdrop, the book not only discusses the challenges and their potential solutions, but also outlines future research directions that could help make future power grids intelligent, adaptive, and resilient. It presents insights from academia, industry, and research institutions on understanding, modeling, and analyzing the control and operation of intelligent power grids of the future.

Discusses an intelligent architecture for future power grids and presents resiliency and reliability matrices of future power gridsExplores the optimization of sustainable microgrids, virtual power plants, and energy managementExamines the multi-agent system for distributed control and operation of distributed energy resources by focusing on modeling, control and operation of smart grids

This publication presents an updated catalogue raisonné of Gian Lorenzo Bernini's architectural drawings, expanding the foundational edition published in German by Heinrich Brauer and Rudolf Wittkower in 1931 and here translated into English for the first time. By complementing the original text with essays based on more recent studies of the drawings and monuments, this work will prove essential for anyone interested in Bernini.

Das Wetter und Klima ist eines der wichtigsten Themen unserer Zeit. Dabei haben die Naturphänomene Künstler schon immer beschäftigt. Bildgewaltig präsentiert der Band historische und zeitgenössische Darstellungen des Wetters in der Kunst und präsentiert Meisterwerke der Meteorologie aus der Zeit von 1500 bis heute.Die Naturgewalten haben den Menschen schon immer beschäftigt und in Erstaunen versetzt und wurden von Künstlern in ihren Werken festgehalten: von Personifikationen zur sinnlich erfahrbaren Darstellungen, von sturmgepeitschten Gefahren über erhabene Wolkenbilder bis hin zu wissenschaftlich fundierten Weken. Beiträge aus unterschiedlichen Fachrichtungen zeigen unsere Verbindung zur Atmosphäre auf, rekapitulieren die Geschichte der Metereologie, gehen auf die vier Elemente ein, begegnen dem Thema mit Humor und Satire und warnen eindringlich vor bevorstehenden Gefahren. Zu Wort kommen dabei sowohl Kunstwissenschaftler als auch Klimaforscher und Psychologen. Künstlerische Interventionen Christa Donner und Andrew S. Yang runden den Band ab, der mit vielen Werk reproduktionen ein umfassendes Bild vom Wetter und Klima in der Kunst gibt.

How Coca-Cola makes Americans sick—and makes sure we don’t know it. If we knew that Coca-Cola was among the deadliest products in our diet, would we continue drinking it in such great quantities? The Coca-Cola Company has gone to extraordinary lengths to make sure we don’t find out, as this damning exposé makes patently clear. Marshaling the findings of extensive research and deep investigative reporting, Murray Carpenter describes in Sweet and Deadly the damage Coke does to America’s health—and the remarkable campaign of disinformation conducted by the company to keep consumers in the dark.

Sweet and Deadly

An evocative voyage through the Carpathian mountain range and its threatened landscape, peoples, and history &nbsp; The Carpathian Mountains of Poland, Slovakia, Romania, and Ukraine are Europe’s last true wilderness. A landscape of great spruce and beech forests, grass meadows, and ancient villages, its people contend daily with the elements—as well as Europe’s last large carnivores. But this fragile ecosystem is now under threat, from climate change and illegal logging. &nbsp; Journeying from the banks of the Danube to Transylvania, Nick Thorpe guides us through the history and ecology of the watershed of Europe, between the Black Sea and the Baltic. For a thousand years the Carpathians have been a place of refuge, of identity and belonging, where powerful rulers and dynasties fought to gain control over rich gold seams and the unruly inhabitants of strategic valleys. Today, its inhabitants struggle to protect its vast forest habitat from urban sprawl as well as logging. &nbsp; Drawing on interviews with shepherds, foresters and loggers, and his four decades of experience in the region, Thorpe sheds light on a neglected part of Europe—where bears, wolves, chamois, and lynxes still roam.
