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

Dobraszczyk Paul: The Matter of
Architecture

The Matter of Architecture

Geology, Buildings and Us

A collection of eye-opening natural experiments, showing how economists uncover cause-and-effect relationships and reveal insights about our world. Does having a daughter change how a congressperson votes? How did a nineteenth-century doctor help discover germs? Is it better to go first or second in a penalty shootout? Why don’t diplomats pay their parking tickets? Do leaders really matter? These are all questions economists ask. Some of these questions are serious, others less consequential. But all are interesting—and can be answered by way of the natural experiment. A natural experiment is an event in the real world that neatly divides people into a treatment and control group—and it is one of the greatest tools in the economist’s toolkit. In Daughters, Diplomats, and Death, Patrick Gourley discusses why and how economists have leveraged this powerful method to answer questions that were long thought unanswerable. In the vein of Freakonomics, Nudge, and The Tipping Point, the book takes the reader on a lively and engaging tour of some of the most fascinating natural experiments, explaining how they work, how they help social scientists answer questions, and what conclusions they reached. The experiments illuminate a wide range of timely issues in health, education, reproductive issues, and the environment, lending rich and much-needed nuance to the complex debates that shape today’s headlines.

Alvar Aaltos Werk wurzelt tief in der Natur - in den stillen Wäldern Finnlands ebenso wie in den Landschaften des Mittelmeers und des Orients, die er auf seinen Reisen entdeckte. Dieses Buch folgt dem roten Faden Natur in seinem Schaffen und öffnet neue Perspektiven auf den Architekten, der auch als Landschaftsgestalter wirkte, etwa mit dem Garten der Villa Mairea. Reich bebilderte Beiträge zeigen, wie Aaltos Architektur mit Gärten, Wäldern und Licht verschmilzt, und wie mediterrane Eindrücke auf Elissa, Aino und Alvar Aalto wirkten. Die Fotografien von Elina Brotherus - teils eigens für dieses Werk geschaffen - lassen das Ineinandergreifen von Innen- und Außenraum sichtbar werden und bringen den Zauber finnischer Landschaft unmittelbar zur Geltung.

An interdisciplinary framework for understanding climate anxiety Climate change generates measurable psychological consequences, yet research on eco-distress remains fragmented across disciplines. Climate Anxiety: An Interdisciplinary Approach, authored by a team of international researchers from universities and health institutions, offers an interdisciplinary framework for understanding climate anxiety and the psychological challenges of climate change. The book synthesizes perspectives from psychiatry, psychology, public health, and environmental science to provide a structured, cross-disciplinary account of how climate anxiety manifests, propagates, and affects populations, including cognitive, emotional, and behavioral dimensions, and addressing both individual-level responses and broader societal patterns of adaptation. The volume explores this topic by examining the key issues and current scientific literature in each of the world's major region and the effect on indigenous populations. Readers will also find: <ul> <li>A historical overview on the relationship between climate crisis, anxiety and violent reactions.</li> <li>A summary on the effects of climate change on mental health from a clinical perspective and a review of the main individual and group interventions for climate anxiety.</li> <li>An in-depth analysis on the relationship between climate anxiety and spirituality.</li> <li>A focus on intersectionality of climate change and its implications on the Global Majority.</li> <li>An investigation on the role of anxiety in climate prepping.</li> <li>An interpretation of climate anxiety as a sign of cultural trauma and how it is contributing to the mutation of global thought and culture.</li> </ul> Climate Anxiety serves researchers, clinicians, public health professionals, and advanced students working at the intersection of mental health and environmental change. By unifying perspectives from psychiatry, psychology, and environmental science, this volume provides a structured foundation for understanding and addressing the psychological toll of ecological disruption.

An Interdisciplinary Approach

Climate Anxiety

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.

Humanity's most spectacular era yet is increasingly within reach.So why are we doing everything we can to hold it back?The bestselling author of The Rational Optimist delivers a daring vision of the future - one that is potentially dazzling, but only if we stop sleepwalking into self-inflicted decline.We're on the brink of a truly spectacular explosion of productivity and prosperity, argues Matt Ridley, thanks to a combination of artificial intelligence, material science and genomic knowledge that is unprecedented in its scope and implications. With characteristic wit and ferocity, he confronts the irrational pessimism that dominates public discourse and examines the bureaucratic bloat, regulatory overreach, ideological superstition and crony capitalism that stand in the way.Optimistic in conclusion but unsparing in its analysis, The Flourishing is a rousing call to achieve and innovate by refusing to settle for a merely adequate future when a magnificent one is within reach.

The Rational Pessimist

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.

Brave Work in the Age of Climate Change

This book is the first investigation of the relationship between EU digital sovereignty and sustainability strategies. It maps the ambitions and limitations of EU digital strategic autonomy and explores the structural challenges underlying its relationship with its green transition objectives in the context of the ongoing wars in neighbouring European countries and the consequent tensions in the EU energy sector. The EU is racing to achieve technological independence from third countries and foreign multinational companies to protect its digital sovereignty and preserve its fundamental rights. In the EU, digitalisation and the green transformation are seen as twin transitions. Yet, EU digital sovereignty strategies have a significant environmental cost. Reaching a status of strategic autonomy of the EU at the level of digital infrastructures, products, services and data implies higher energy consumption and exploitation of natural resources. Moreover, the geopolitical tensions following the Russian invasion of Ukraine have provoked an unprecedented energy crisis, which is affecting EU economies and impacting objectives of the twin transitions. The book offers an interdisciplinary analysis of the major EU regulatory and policy instruments in this field, providing an invaluable guide for academics, practitioners, and policymakers navigating the complex issues of preserving digital sovereignty and addressing climate change in times of war and energy crisis.

Digital Sovereignty and the Green Transition

Everyone is talking about sustainability, yet its concrete meaning and consequences are often unclear. This handbook explains how global goals, climate change, and policy in the UN, EU 27, Germany, US, UK, and China fit together and shape our future.
It leads the reader from core concepts and key international agreements through a concise stock taking and long term outlook to concrete instruments for a more sustainable world. The handbook focuses on the real impact of global and European measures on economies, societies, and the planet. The role of Germany, the US, UK, and China is presented in each case.
Prof. Fieber assesses the achievements of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement. The countries responsible for global warming are identified and their contributions to improving the situation are compared. In addition, the advantages of liberal democracy over autocracy for achieving greater sustainability in one's own country and worldwide are a subject of this book.
The author¿s aim is to sharpen reader¿s awareness of the necessity for climate action while showing that ambitious sustainability policy can secure stable ecological, social, and economic foundations for future generations. 
It should also be made clear that every individual can contribute to greater sustainability. Taken together, government policy and these personal contributions can bring about a significant improvement in sustainability worldwide.
