        University engagement and environmental sustainability

        by Michael Osborne, Patricia Inman, Diana Robinson

        Universities have a key role to play in contributing to environmental development and combating climate change. The chapters within this volume detail the challenges faced by higher education institutions in considering environmental sustainability, and provide both a broad view of university engagement and a detailed examination of various projects. As part of this series in association with the Place and Social Capital and Learning (PASCAL) International Observatory, the three key PASCAL themes of place management, lifelong learning and the development of social capital are considered throughout the book. While universities have historically generated knowledge outside of specific local contexts, this book argues that it is particularly important for them to engage with the local community and to consider diverse perspectives and assets when looking at issues within an ecological context. The chapters in this volume provide new perspectives and frames of reference for transforming universities by engaging in the development of resilient communities.

        On the Life and Death of Insects

        The world of Jean-Henri Fabre

        by Stephan Krall

        — 200th anniversary of the birth of Jean-Henri Fabre on 21 December 2023 — First all-encompassing biography of the entomologist — Biodiversity as a hot topic Jean-Henri Fabre (1823–1915) was a French teacher, scientist and researcher. At a time when insects were not among the preferred biological objects of study (and if they were, it was only for them to be collected, pinned and identified), Fabre began to conduct behavioural research on insects. This was not appreciated until very late in his life, so Fabre and his family were largely destitute most of the time. Stephan Krall provides a very personal account of this extraordinary and passionate researcher of insects, spiders and scorpions, who managed to publish scientific documents, complete his doctorate and write books on the side. Today he is considered as one of the founding fathers of the behavioural biology of insects.

        The Great Deception

        How we put our future at risk and sleep through the necessary transformation

        by Deutsche Umweltstiftung (ed.)

        More and more companies are becoming sustainable. More and more products are being produced sustainably. But things that are called climate-neutral or sustainable today often are not. Then there are the catchy phrases like 'electric mobility belongs to the future' or 'there's enough food on the planet for everyone'. These statements are not true, and are referred to in science as 'frames'. This book provides a guide that enables us to free ourselves from these ecological frames, to see through them. Because only a policy that understands the connections is able to develop perspectives. Numerous experts uncover the biggest lies about the future in this book, refute them and explain what we need to change. Because we can lie to ourselves, but we cannot lie to nature.

        Love and revolution

        A politics for the deep commons

        by Matt York

        Based on award-winning research, Love and revolution brings classical and contemporary anarchist thought into a mutually beneficial dialogue with a global cross-section of ecological, anti-capitalist, feminist and anti-racist activists - discussing real-life examples of the loving-caring relations that underpin many contemporary struggles. Such a (r)evolutionary love is discovered to be a common embodied experience among the activists contributing to this collective vision, manifested as a radical solidarity, as political direct action, as long-term processes of struggle, and as a deeply relational more-than-human ethics. This book provides an essential resource for all those interested in building a free society grounded in solidarity and care, and offers a timely contribution to contemporary movement discourse.

        The Forest of the Future – A New Reality

        The Forest of the Future – A New Reality

        Understanding the ecosystem

        by Hans Jürgen Böhmer

        What happened with forest dieback? The predictions of the 1980s that forests would be in decline across Europe have not come true. Currently, attention again focuses on the doom scenarios of the loss of entire forests and cultural landscapes in an emotional and sometimes hysterical debate. Biogeographer Hans Jürgen Böhmer refers to updated case studies and his 30 years of research experience on global ecosystems to demonstrate extremely complex interrelations of the natural world that various actors monitor in contrasting ways and characterized by different times and ideologies. Böhmer advocates to embed the sustainability debate more strongly in the living environment, rather than relying exclusively on model calculations.

        Briefwechsel 1921 bis 1927

        by Hermann Hesse, Hugo Ball, Emmy Ball-Hennings, Bärbel Reetz, Bärbel Reetz

        Im Dezember 1920 treffen sie sich erstmals im Tessin: Hermann Hesse und Emmy Hennings mit Hugo Ball, die, enttäuscht von den politischen Wirren und konservativen Tendenzen im Nachkriegsdeutschland, entschlossen sind, unter südlichen Himmeln ihre »Flucht aus der Zeit« anzutreten.Die Briefe des exzentrischen Paares, das in der Berliner und Münchener Bohème Aufsehen erregt und 1916 mit der Gründung des »Cabaret Voltaire« in Zürich den Dadaismus begründet hat, und die des Autors des Demian berichten von den Bedingungen ihres Schreibens, von Reiseeindrücken und Begegnungen mit Menschen, die die Kulturszene der zwanziger Jahre prägen. Sie belegen heftige Diskussionen um Religion und Psychoanalyse und dokumentieren ausführlich die Beziehung Hesses zu seiner zweiten Frau Ruth Wenger.Nicht zuletzt ist der Briefwechsel eine Fundgrube für die Entstehungsgeschichte von Siddhartha bis zum Steppenwolf, von Hennings' sensitiver Lyrik und Prosa sowie Balls zeitkritischen und theologischen Werken.

        Irish Environmental Politics After the Communicative Turn

        by Patrick O'Mahony

        This book applies social and political theory to the field of environmental politics in Ireland. It offers both a substantive contribution to understanding environmental politics in this country and a test case of the application of theory within the field of environmental scholarship more generally. The essays are integrated by a concern for analysing the relationship between culture, discourse and action in this political field, hence the emphasis on the communicative turn. The book is innovative in offering a sustained application of social and political theory within environmental scholarship as well as in combining theoretical and empirical approaches to advancing environmental scholarship in a particular case. This synergy of theory and substantive analysis is a key feature of the book and offers an important contribution to the environmental literature in the social sciences. The authors apply key developments in the modern social sciences and offer compelling evidence of their value for clarifying the cultural foundations of political action and for its evaluation and critique. Academics in the social sciences and in philosophy, postgraduate and advanced undergraduate, both in Ireland and beyond, will find this book highly rewarding for its multi-faceted application of social and political theories and associated methodologies to the environmental field. ;

        Leben im Vielleicht. Eine Biographie

        by Bärbel Reetz

        »Ich lebe im - Vielleicht/ Bin eine stumme Frage ...« Die so schreibt, ist eine poetische Maskenspielerin, eine, die in ihrem ungewöhnlichen Leben viel gefragt und noch mehr gewagt hat: Emmy Ball-Hennings (1885-1948). Aus der kleinbürgerlichen Enge Flensburgs treibt ihre »Weglaufsucht« sie mit Wandertheatern durch Deutschland, auf die Bühnen europäischer Varietes und Cabarets, in die Abgründe von Drogen, Prostitution und Gefängnis, in die schrille Berliner und Münchner Vorkriegsboheme. 1915 emigriert sie mit Hugo Ball nach Zürich und begründet mit ihm das »Cabaret Voltaire« - die Keimzelle des Dadaismus. Irrlichtert durch die politisch-journalistische Emigrantenszene um Ball und Ernst Bloch in Bern, begegnet 1920 Hermann Hesse, dem Freund fürs Leben. Die Namen ihrer Freundinnen und Gefährten lesen sich wie eine Enzyklopädie der europäischen Avantgarde.Bärbel Reetz hat sich auf Spurensuche gemacht und Einblick in bisher unbekannte Briefe und Aufzeichnungen genommen. Mit ihrer Biographie wirft sie ein neues Licht auf das ungewöhnliche Leben der Emmy Ball-Hennings.

        The Eco-Balance on the Plate

        How What We Eat Can Protect the Climate

        by Dr. Malte Rubach

        How much CO₂ is emitted by one serving of spaghetti bolognese? About 1.5 kilograms! This example shows what the meat industry and food logistics mean for the eco-balance of our food. But is it enough to switch to meat-free and dairy-free alternatives or local specialities? Dr. Malte Rubach takes a closer look and reviews our food regime and its impact on our climate. We live in a society influenced by technology and the rising consumption of resources. Rubach argues for a sensible attitude to food and shows what we can still eat with a clear conscience.

        Undermining resistance

        The governance of participation by multinational mining corporations

        by Lian Sinclair

        Why do multinational mining corporations use participation to undermine resistance? Do the struggles of local communities, activists and NGOs matter on a global scale? Why are there so many different global standards in mining? This book develops a new critical political economy approach to studying extractive accumulation, drawing on three detailed Indonesian cases to explain how participatory mechanisms continuously reshape and are reshaped by community-corporate conflict. Findings highlight feedback between local social relations, conflict, transnational activism, crises of legitimacy and global governance. The author argues that corporate social responsibility, community development, 'gender-mainstreaming' and environmental monitoring are neither simple outcomes of corporate ethics nor mere greenwashing strategies. Rather, participation is a mechanism to undermine resistance and create social relations amenable to extractive accumulation.
