What building today tells us about tomorrow's Earth - and our place on it.

Dobraszczyk P: The Matter of
Architecture

The Matter of Architecture

Geology, Buildings and Us

Materialising the Digital

Where and how we pay is changing dramatically. This timely, innovative book navigates the so-called 'Cambrian explosion' of FinTech companies and more specifically to the emergence of Blockchain technologies and cryptocurrencies through the lens of the case of Ripple, a company in the field of cryptoassets and cross-border payments. Combining STS with human geography and political economy, it navigates the maelstrom of proliferating new and old payment infrastructure, to develop a theoretical and empirical 'infrastructural inversion' of money. Money does not just flow through or behave like an infrastructure, but rather it is an infrastructure, because it is predicated upon the existence of accounting and payment infrastructures of memory for its very existence. Using the concepts of active forms and dispositions from design and architecture, this nuanced book analyses how money's infrastructures act in the world materially, spatially, as objects and subjects of desire and as political and economic machines. If we want new forms of money for new forms of society, we need to think holistically and ecologically about the complex combinations of materiality, space, desire and political economies that money generates and propagates. Tracing the trajectory of a cryptoasset project from an alternative credit system to an interbank, cross-border company, the book moves beyond a Bitcoin-centric view of money. It reveals how alternative and mainstream, networked and sovereign forms of money have long been intertwined.

How to Be a Part-Time Farmer

One Foot in the Field

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

And How We Make It

The Good Society

'Excellent' Aaron Bastani 'Provocative ... An entertaining, sweeping read' Financial Times Every leader comes to power promising growth: think back to the campaigns of Boris, Truss, Sunak, Starmer, Trump. Yet real-term income hasn't improved in the UK since 2008. Across the West, growth has stagnated for well over a decade, leading to cost of living crises, political instability and rising social tensions. Is real economic growth still possible? And with the climate emergency accelerating beyond repair, should we still be pushing for it? In Icarus Economics, acclaimed economist John Rapley argues that the problem of growth is inherently tied up with the climate crisis. We often assume that poor countries will bear the brunt of climate change, pandemics, and other exogenous shocks, but this book argues the opposite: western societies have more wealth and capital to lose and are less inherently resilient. In this book, he shows us how rich countries can grow their own economies by helping poor countries to decarbonise - and in the process, mitigate the effects of climate change.

Growth, Degrowth, and the Future of the West

Icarus Economics

Palgrave Studies in Economic History

This book offers the first comprehensive analysis of the transformation of the Brazilian coffee economy since 1960, one of the most significant yet understudied developments in modern economic history. Moving beyond classic accounts of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century plantation expansion, it traces how Brazil responded to crises through state intervention, technological innovation and institutional reform. Drawing on economic history, development economics and agricultural studies, the authors examine how mechanization, scientific research, crop diversification and shifting regional production patterns reshaped the sector and enabled Brazil to maintain its position as the world’s leading coffee producer.Situating Brazilian coffee within global commodity chains and changing patterns of consumption, the book explores the transition from a state-controlled system to a competitive, market-oriented agribusiness embedded in global trade networks. It also highlights the emergence of new production frontiers and value-added industries, including roasting and soluble coffee. By combining regional analysis with a broader political economy perspective, this study provides a vital contribution to debates on agricultural modernization, export-led development and globalization in Latin America. It will be valuable reading for scholars in economic history, Latin American studies, agricultural economics and global development.&nbsp;Herbert S. Klein
 is Gouverneur Morris Professor Emeritus of History at Columbia University and a Research Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University. A leading scholar of Latin American economic and social history, his work spans Brazil, Bolivia and the Atlantic world. He has authored or co-authored numerous influential books on slavery, demographic change and agricultural development, including

Routledge Research on the Law of the Sea

This book examines the relationship between international fisheries law and international biodiversity law in the context of the increasingly volatile ocean conditions of the Anthropocene.Using a theoretical approach, the book analyses interactions between fisheries and biodiversity law. The author assesses the fulfilment of objectives around conservation and sustainable use to allow readers to understand the collective narratives and priorities of international fisheries and biodiversity regimes. The book also features insights into recent international legal developments, including the treaty on marine biodiversity beyond national jurisdiction, and potential sites of enhanced cooperation between regimes.This book will be of interest to legal scholars, scientists and practitioners, particularly those in the areas of law of the sea, biodiversity law, environmental law, and international fisheries law.

International Fisheries and Biodiversity Law

What goals are still feasible for the politics of emancipation on a ruined planet?This is where we are. Today's techno-oligarchs are not concerned with saving the planet; rather, they have accepted the end of progress and are focused on safeguarding their wealth in the face of an impending political and ecological collapse. Artificial intelligence and algorithms make decisions for us. Climate breakdown has long steamed past the wreckage of the Paris Agreement.Perhaps the accelerationists have the right idea. Accelerationism - which aims to resolve the current crisis through the intensification of technological development - is the only philosophy not clinging to the now-extinct idea of progress. The idea has gained ground on both the left and right: but the right-wing is shot through with misanthropy, while the left remains entangled in a faith in technological progress and the domination of nature.Transcending capitalism at the end of progress requires a synthesis of the two. The result of this synthesis: Dark Socialism. From 'rock star philosopher' Kohei Saito comes an anticapitalist clarion call for our breakneck times, channeling despair into a socialist project equal to the end of progress.

Hope in a Ruined World

Dark Socialism

This book examines climate change and the need for advertising creatives to think and create strategically in order to educate about the human role in climate adaptation.&nbsp;As more brands and organizations feel the economic and cultural effects of climate realities, there is an urgent need for the advertising industry to offer smarter, creative approaches to messaging about this phenomenon. Creatives must use their ability to translate complex issues into messages that resonate with multiple audiences while&nbsp;bridge the gap between consumers and climate understanding. The author argues that brands and corporations have a social responsibilty to provide this value, thereby fighting misinformation and emboldening citizens to work toward adaptive behaviors with understanding of basic climate science. Through the themes of complexity, creativity, and courage, this book synthesizes theory on audience engagement and discusses how to frame the climate issue effectively.

Our greatest challenge is upon us. Climate change realities call for adaptation and new ways of understanding the world. For brands and their agency advocates, this demands a courageous approach to crafting work that engages a range of audiences, people often polarized and politically divided. How can the vibrant creative industry play a leading role in helping humanity adapt to climate change? What climate science resources exist that aid in developing smart communication platforms? How does a creative strategist grow skills necessary for this most important assignment?&nbsp;Brave Work, a guide for creatives in all career stages, develops a mission statement for creative leadership in these complicated times.
