Transforming Environmental Politics and Policy

Debating Planetary Politics offers a range of perspectives that together provide a comprehensive overview of the issues and ideas central to the emerging field of planetary politics, giving due attention to its history, while primarily and uniquely advancing the contemporary state of the debate.An eco-centric planetary politics first became a prospective new turn for the world politics of humanity when scientists around 1970 discovered that the Earth system, including its biospheric ecology, exists in a biogeochemical composition which enables and furthers the conditions for life on this planet, and that our species is causing an Earth system crisis that is jeopardizing planetary habitability. This book examines how to best navigate through this Earth system crisis and expands on what planetary politics is about by including multispecies and critical perspectives that were not prominent before. It is argued that the current global governance architecture is inadequate for ending the crisis. We will need a new planetary politics. But what do we have in mind when we talk about planetary politics? This complex inter- and transdisciplinary debate does not only require a sound grasp of the relevant Earth system science, but also of the cultural, social, economic, and political worldviews and practices that have brought about the present malaise, and of how old and new alternatives might enable constructive steps forward. This book therefore has a diverse group of expert contributors. They offer a variety of complementary and competing theoretical perspectives from Political Science, Political Theory, Political Economy, International Relations, Philosophy, and Sociology, getting to the core of what thinking in terms of planetary politics signifies in different registers.Establishing planetary politics as its own distinct field, Debating Planetary Politics is important reading for students and scholars from a range of disciplines, including Global Environmental Politics, Political Science, International Relations (IR), Political Theory/Philosophy, Development Studies, Political Economy, Earth System Science, Environmental Humanities, Global/Intellectual History, Political Geography, Political Sociology, and Science and Technology Studies (STS).

The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind (French: Psychologie des Foules; literally: Psychology of Crowds) is a book authored by Gustave Le Bon that was first published in 1895.

In the book, Le Bon claims that there are several characteristics of crowd psychology: "impulsiveness, irritability, incapacity to reason, the absence of judgement of the critical spirit, the exaggeration of sentiments, and others. Le Bon claimed that "an individual immersed for some length of time in a crowd soon finds himself - either in consequence of magnetic influence given out by the crowd or from some other cause of which we are ignorant - in a special state, which much resembles the state of fascination in which the hypnotized individual finds himself in the hands of the hypnotizer.

HUMAN RIGHTS

Pulitzer Prize–winning former Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson tells our nation’s torturous racial history through his own family’s story, starting with his great-grandfather’s freedom from slavery and threading his way to his own narrative and reaching today’s Black Lives Matter movement, asking whether this time will be different. On March 27, 1829, a wealthy white planter and entrepreneur named Richard Fordham purchased four enslaved African Americans from a woman named Isabella Perman. One of them was journalist Eugene Robinson’s great-great-grandfather, a boy called Harry. Starting from this transaction, which took place in Charleston, South Carolina, Freedom Lost, Freedom Won brings to life two hundred years of our nation’s history through the eyes of the remarkable family that Harry founded. Assigned a formal name—Henry Fordham—and put to work as a blacksmith, he achieved his own freedom a decade before the Civil War. He was there when victorious Union troops marched into Charleston in 1865, ending slavery and guaranteeing liberty for Black people—only on paper, though, and only for a time. Robinson traces the arc of his familial lineage through the repeated cycles in which African Americans have fought their way upward toward freedom and opportunity, been forced back down again, and renewed their determined climb. From his great-great-grandfather’s achievement in becoming a “free person of color” before emancipation to his great-grandfather’s Reconstruction-era success, from his father’s odyssey of the Great Migration to his own coming-of-age during the civil rights movement, Robinson delves into a rich archive of Black narratives, arguing that we still have a long way to go before it is possible to speak of a “post-racial America.” Setting his extensive research within the larger historical context, Robinson provides both an indictment of structural racism and an illustration of how it has been fought and, at times, courageously overcome. Freedom Lost, Freedom Won tells our country’s tortuous racial history through Robinson’s family’s story of struggle and survival, pushing us to consider how far the nation has come—willingly or not—and how far it still has to go.

No es poesía, es física. El Volumen I de la serie Zinc Spark es una disección implacable de la genialidad. Desde el laboratorio de la Northwestern University hasta las vidas de Turing, Piaf y Winehouse, Alma Ross documenta cómo el sistema procesa la anomalía humana. Es la crónica de una colisión: el momento en que el destello biológico pide un espacio que la estructura social no está dispuesta a ceder.

The Souls of Black Folk: Essays and Sketches is a 1903 work of American literature by W. E. B. Du Bois. It is a seminal work in the history of sociology and a cornerstone of African-American literature.

The book contains several essays on race, some of which had been published earlier in The Atlantic Monthly. To develop this work, Du Bois drew from his own experiences as an African American in American society. Outside of its notable relevance in African-American history, The Souls of Black Folk also holds an important place in social science as one of the early works in the field of sociology.

In The Souls of Black Folk, Du Bois used the term "double consciousness", perhaps taken from Ralph Waldo Emerson ("The Transcendentalist" and "Fate"), applying it to the idea that black people must have two fields of vision at all times. They must be conscious of how they view themselves, as well as being conscious of how the world views them.

Kamal Shair's book is a classic rags to riches story: the village boy, who with determination and education, achieves business success, wealth, more wealth, and then influence and power. What makes it unusual is that it emanates from the Arab world. Rarely among Arabs have individuals from thoroughly modest backgrounds, with no access to links, networks or connections become truly global commercial players. Shair was born in a small town in what was then Transjordan and dragged himself through school (his mother was illiterate), moved to college in Beirut, then sailed off to America (Michigan and Yale) and returned to the Middle East to create a multinational corporate empire engaged in trade, construction and manufacturing. Dar al Handasah - Arabic for House of Engineers - was founded in a small flat in Beirut and today, spans the globe with offices in 37 countries. In its early years, Dar al Handasah fought off competition from established western consultancies to win contracts for prestige engineering throughout the Middle East. Eventually, its activities extended further to Europe, the United States, Africa and Asia. By not following the usual pattern of patronage and favours, Kamal Shair applied a fresh kind of ethic in an environment with a loosely-structured business ethic. In the process, he lived through and witnessed at first hand and at close quarters some of the most dramatic events of the modern Arab world. This is quite an extraordinary tale and a very original prism through which to read the turbulent post-World War II history of the Middle East. At the same time we see the growth, despite all the odds, of one of the world's great engineering and business enterprises in a narrative of epic and inspirational proportions.

What are the everyday life strategies of single mothers that help to effectivelycope with daily hardships? What modes of resistance are employed, articulated or imagined by single mothers as they navigate their dailyroutines?This is the premise of the study that offers an in-depth ethnographic studyof well-educated single mothers in Kaunas, Lithuania - a post-socialistsemi-periphery marked by structural precarity. Through feminist activistethnography, this thesis examines how single mothers develop material, emotional, and social strategies to survive and care within conditionsshaped by neoliberalism, insufficient welfare systems, and societal stigma.The concept of care is placed at the centre of this dissertation, highlightingcare labour as often unpaid and invisibilized, yet - central to single mothers'lives, constituting both a burden and a potential site of resistance. This thesisalso examines how normative ideals of family, motherhood, and successintersect with class, gender, and labour to shape women's lived experiences.

Care to live

For more than four centuries, enslaved people across the Americas, from the United States and the Caribbean to Brazil, fought any way they could to gain their freedom. For the first time, their dramatic stories are gathered in one sweeping narrative that offers a message of inspiration in our own time.“Among the emancipators are the millions whose stories will never be known. They lived the struggle. They were the great resistance.” Thus does acclaimed historian Carrie Gibson conclude her magisterial chronicle of four centuries of effort by enslaved people in the western hemisphere to gain their freedom. “Freedom is an idea,” she writes, and the actions of the thousands who fought to escape slavery made clear that “freedom had to be for everyone, otherwise it was a lie.”The horrific enslavement by Europeans of twelve million Africans taken to the Americas has been widely written about, and important individual slave revolts have been recorded; but Gibson tells a larger story, portraying the multitude of freedom struggles across the entire hemisphere—from North America to the Caribbean to Brazil—as one long-running quest for freedom. From the first African revolt in 1521 on the island of Hispaniola, to the 18th-century Maroon Wars on Jamaica and the revolution that gave Haiti its independence, and thousands of smaller acts of defiance in between, Gibson vividly chronicles the continuum of resistance that eventually ended the slave trade and, with Brazil’s decision in 1888, the institution of slavery itself.This was the most diverse ongoing insurrection the world has ever known, and the way it was responded to shaped every nation in the Americas in meaningful ways. “If scholars were to emphasize the efforts of the enslaved more than the condition of slavery,” historian Vincent Brown has written, “we might at least tell richer stories about how the endeavors of the weakest and most abject have at times reshaped the world.” With its deep scholarship and rich narrative, The Great Resistance is a major contribution to the literature around slavery and freedom and, in our time, a tribute to the persistence of the human spirit to overcome even the darkest of circumstances.

Sustainable correctional culture is not created by chance. It is built, maintained, and defended every day-one detail at a time.

Correctional facilities are among the most complex and high-risk environments in public safety. Jails are responsible for protecting staff, maintaining order, safeguarding inmates, and preserving public trust-all while facing staffing shortages, mental health crises, digital contraband, and increasing scrutiny.

Yet many facilities fail for the same reason: small lapses in discipline, professionalism, and accountability are ignored until disorder becomes normalized.
Broken Windows Behind Bars: Transforming Jail Operations Through Order and Accountability applies the widely recognized Broken Windows Theory to the unique realities of jail and detention operations. Written by Shaun Klucznik, a career corrections professional since 1997 and President of the American Jail Association (2025-2026), this book provides a clear, experience-based framework for building sustainable order inside correctional facilities.

Klucznik draws from decades of jail leadership, staff training, and operational command to show how minor infractions-unchecked sanitation issues, inconsistent counts, lax supervision, and silent peer culture-create conditions for violence, contraband, escapes, lawsuits, and institutional collapse. More importantly, he shows how correcting small details consistently creates professionalism that endures.

This book goes beyond theory. Through real-world case studies, leadership analysis, and practical tools, readers learn how to:Apply Broken Windows principles to jail operations and detention facilities
Build accountability through peer correction and supervisor presence
Strengthen staff morale while reducing burnout and turnover
Prevent security failures before they escalate into crises
Integrate training, policy, and accreditation into lasting culture
Use technology as a support tool without undermining human judgment



Broken Windows Behind Bars is written for jail administrators, detention officers, supervisors, sheriffs, policymakers, criminal justice students, and public safety leaders who want practical solutions-not temporary programs.

This is not a book about punishment. It is a book about professionalism, safety, and ethical responsibility. When order is enforced consistently, jails become safer for staff, more stable for inmates, and more credible to the communities they serve.
