This timely and incisive book combines an introduction to the core
legal and policy issues presented by climate change with a deeper
analysis of decisions that will define the path forward. Offering a
guide to key terms, concepts, and legal principles in the field,
this book will help readers develop a sophisticated perspective on
issues central to climate change law and policy. Building a pathway
to literacy in climate change policy, chapters provide an
accessible overview of key energy regulations and laws governing
energy projects, legal mechanisms to regulate GHG emissions, and
the role of state and local governments in developing mitigation
and adaptation policy, particularly in the building and
transportation sectors. The authors highlight the relationship
between human rights and climate change using the framework of
human rights law, analyze the use of litigation to compel climate
change mitigation and adaptation and suggest ways to achieve
international cooperation. Providing a deep understanding of
ongoing debates about the design and implementation of climate
change law and policy, this book will be an essential resource for
students and researchers of environmental and climate change law,
governance, and regulation. It will also be useful for policymakers
and practitioners in the field for its practical insights into
future developments and solutions.

Industrialization and Assimilation examines the process of ethnic
identity change in a broad historical context. Green explains how
and why ethnicity changes across time, showing that, by altering
the basis of economic production from land to labour and removing
people from the 'idiocy of rural life', industrialization makes
societies more ethnically homogenous. More specifically, the author
argues that industrialization lowers the relative value of rural
land, leading people to identify less with narrow rural identities
in favour of broader identities that can aid them in navigating the
formal urban economy. Using large-scale datasets that span the
globe as well as detailed case studies ranging from
mid-twentieth-century Turkey to contemporary Botswana, Somalia and
Uganda, as well as evidence from Native Americans in the United
States and the Maori in New Zealand, Industrialization and
Assimilation provides a new framework to understand the origins of
modern ethnic identities.

In the opening chapters the author records his father Toby's
remarkable career in PR. This began just before World War II with
Toby becoming responsible for taking the initiative away from
Germany's propoganda machine controlled by the well organized and
funded Nazi party. After the war Toby was one of the first
political spin-doctors, worked for the Conservative Party and later
rose to be the doyen of commercial and international PR in the UK.
Later in the book, Donough picks up his own story and this really
comes to life when he joins the Irish Guards. He then treats us to
four years of amusing military recollections. On leaving, the
author started civilian work in a London that is just beginning to
come alive - the Swinging Sixties have arrived. Like his father he
goes into PR and records a memoir of the most colourful people of
the period. The glamorous certainly feature - Joanna Lumley,
Jacqueline Bisset and Charlotte Rampling are just some. His
involvement in the opening of the trendiest nightclub of the
period, Sibylla's, with its guest list of all the greats of rock n'
roll is another seminal moment.

Within the social and political upheaval of American cities in the
decades surrounding the turn of the 20th century, a new scientific
discipline, psychology, strove to carve out a place for itself. In
this new history of early American psychology, Christopher D. Green
highlights the urban contexts in which much of early American
psychology developed and tells the stories of well-known early
psychologists, including William James, G. Stanley Hall, John
Dewey, and James McKeen Cattell, detailing how early psychologists
attempted to alleviate the turmoil around them. American
psychologists sought out the daunting intellectual, emotional, and
social challenges that were threatening to destabilize the nation's
burgeoning urban areas and proposed novel solutions, sometimes to
positive and sometimes to negative effect. Their contributions
helped develop our modern ideas about the mind, person, and
society. This book is ideal for scholars and students interested in
the history of psychology.

When Europeans first arrived in North America, between five and
eight million indigenous people were already living there. But how
did they come to be here? What were their agricultural, spiritual,
and hunting practices? How did their societies evolve and what
challenges do they face today?
Eminent historians Theda Perdue and Michael Green begin by
describing how nomadic bands of hunter-gatherers followed the bison
and woolly mammoth over the Bering land mass between Asia and what
is now Alaska between 25,000 and 15,000 years ago, settling
throughout North America. They describe hunting practices among
different tribes, how some made the gradual transition to more
settled, agricultural ways of life, the role of kinship and
cooperation in Native societies, their varied burial rites and
spiritual practices, and many other features of Native American
life. Throughout the book, Perdue and Green stress the great
diversity of indigenous peoples in America, who spoke more than 400
different languages before the arrival of Europeans and whose ways
of life varied according to the environments they settled in and
adapted to so successfully. Most importantly, the authors stress
how Native Americans have struggled to maintain their
sovereignty--first with European powers and then with the United
States--in order to retain their lands, govern themselves, support
their people, and pursue practices that have made their lives
meaningful.
Going beyond the stereotypes that so often distort our views of
Native Americans, this Very Short Introduction offers a
historically accurate, deeply engaging, and often inspiring account
of the wide array of Native peoples in America.
About the Series: Combining authority with wit, accessibility, and
style, Very Short Introductions offer an introduction to some of
life's most interesting topics. Written by experts for the
newcomer, they demonstrate the finest contemporary thinking about
the central problems and issues in hundreds of key topics, from
philosophy to Freud, quantum theory to Islam.

The true story, and the black citizens, behind the evolution of
racial equality in Minnesota He had just given a rousing speech to
a packed assembly in St. Paul, but Frederick Douglass, confidant to
the Great Emancipator and conscience of the Republican Party, was
denied a hotel room because he was black. This was Minnesota in
1873, four years after the state had approved black suffrage-a
state where "freedom" meant being unshackled from slavery but not
social restrictions, where "equality" meant access to the ballot
but not to a restaurant downtown. Spanning the half-century after
the Civil War, Degrees of Freedom draws a rare picture of black
experience in a northern state and of the nature of black
discontent and action within a predominantly white, ostensibly
progressive society. William D. Green reveals little-known
historical characters among the black men and women who moved to
Minnesota following the Fifteenth Amendment; worked as farmhands
and laborers; built communities (such as Pig's Eye Landing, later
renamed St. Paul), businesses, and a newspaper (the Western
Appeal); and embodied the slow but inexorable advancement of race
relations in the state over time. Within this absorbing, often
surprising, narrative we meet "ordinary" citizens, like former
slave and early settler Jim Thompson and black barbers catering to
a white clientele, but also personages of national stature, such as
Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, and W. E. B. Du Bois, all
of whom championed civil rights in Minnesota. And we see how, in a
state where racial prejudice and oppression wore a liberal mask,
black settlers and entrepreneurs, politicians, and activists
maneuvered within a restricted political arena to bring about real
and lasting change.
