This book is devoted to the exploration of environmental
Prometheanism, the belief that human beings can and should master
nature and remake it for the better. Meyer considers, among others,
the question of why Prometheanism today is usually found on the
political right while environmentalism is on the left. Chapters
examine the works of leading Promethean thinkers of nineteenth and
early and mid-twentieth century Britain, France, America, and
Russia and how they tied their beliefs about the earth to a
progressive, left-wing politics. Meyer reconstructs the logic of
this "progressive Prometheanism" and the reasons it has vanished
from the intellectual scene today. The Progressive Environmental
Prometheans broadens the reader's understanding of the history of
the ideas behind Prometheanism. This book appeals to anyone with an
interest in environmental politics, environmental history, global
history, geography and Anthropocene studies.
"I was on a lonely stretch of road. There were no lights other than
the moon and stars, and I had not encountered any traffic in at
least 10 minutes. Far ahead of me a figure stepped out of the brush
and stood on the shoulder of the road. The figure was still far out
of my headlight range, but was visible as a stunning and marvelous
silhouette in the bright moonlight."
This book pulls together major critiques of contemporary attempts
to explain nature-society relations in an environmentally
deterministic way. After defining key terms, it reviews the history
of environmental determinism's rise and fall within geography in
the early twentieth century. It discusses the key reasons for the
doctrine's rejection and presents alternative, non-deterministic
frameworks developed within geography for analyzing the roles
played by the environment in human affairs. The authors examine the
rise in recent decades of neo-deterministic approaches to such
issues as the demarcation of regions, the causes of civilizational
collapse in prehistory, today's globally uneven patterns of human
well-being, and the consequences of human-induced climate change.
In each case, the authors draw on the insights and approaches of
geography, the academic discipline most conversant with the
interactions of society and environment, to challenge the
widespread acceptance that such approaches have won. The book will
appeal to those working on human-environmental research,
international development and global policy initiatives.
The authors, writing with the experience and technological
background of Electricite de France, an organisation at the
forefront of simulation methods, provide a comprehensive and
comprehensible treatment of the modelling and simulation techniques
currently in use. The text emphasises model design applied to power
plants producing energy, generators and motors carrying out energy
transformations and networks transmitting energy. The systems are
analysed considering each process, from steady state to fast
transients, with detailed explanation of the problem to be solved,
the choice of models and methods for optimising efficiency. Many
examples and references are provided. The book is essential reading
for anyone involved in power system engineering, from practising
design and development engineers to researchers and postgraduate
and advanced graduate students.
Global warming is a serious threat to the stability of world climate and to economic prosperity in some regions. The book offers a theoretical analysis which focuses on double dividend issues. Moreover, the ecological tax reform in Germany and the options of modern energy policy are described and evaluated. The volume presents innovative model simulations and analyzes, in the context of the model, the benefits of a modified tax reform, based on a Schumpeterian approach. Finally, implications for the European Union and other countries are discussed.
'That would have been unnerving enough, but the shape of the thing
convinced me it moved with a purpose. What I saw, just for a
moment, was a dragon. Born of lightning and fire, it flew into the
air, writhed in the pleasure of its freedom, and screamed in
ecstasy as it flew toward me."
10,158 miles. Incredible thunderstorms, raging forest fires,
dense smoke, hail, sleet, cops, a half-a-dozen paramedics, bears,

These expert case studies focus on ways in which a variety of
innovative local economic development programs have been
implemented in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany.
Authorities with varied experience show how policies and programs
must fit into a political and legal system, meet specific external
and environemtnal requirements, serve certain groups and settings,
and bring about tangible results. Students and scholars,
policymakers and practitioners, economists and businessmen, labor
and government specialists, and public administrators will find
these case studies illuminating. This comparative study first gives
an overview of innovative policies and programs on both sides of
the Atlantic Ocean. The surveys range from South Bend, Indiana,
Baltimore, Maryland, and New Orleans, Louisiana, to the Ruhrgebiet,
Germany, West Scotland, Wales, and Northamptonshire, United
Kingdom. Among other issues the case studies cover waterfront
development, urban revitalization, regional reconstruction, job
preservation, and proactive community development.
Contaminated land policy is a key concern of governments and policy
makers across the globe, yet discussion has traditionally focused
on the particular experience of the United States. This major new
book develops a framework for assessing laws and regulations
regarding contaminated land and polluted properties, their clean up
and reuse, and the assignment of costs and responsibilities for
reclamation.In Contaminated Land, the authors, a European and two
Americans, lay out a framework for cross- national comparisons of
policy contexts as well as ways of examining the outcomes of
different approaches to contaminated land and systematically
compare approaches to this issue in both the EU and US. The use of
this framework leads to a reassessment of specific policies, such
as the polluter pays principle, which may be more successful in the
EU than it has been in the US, and subsidiarity which, while
problematic in Europe, may hold promise in a US application.
Specific issues discussed include the nature and extent of the
contaminated land problem, legal implications, regulation in the
US, the 1980 Comprehensive Environmental Liability, Compensation
and Reclamation Act, European experience and EU environmental
policy, integrated comparative analysis and some lessons for the
future. Contaminated Land offers valuable insights on policy
responses to the problem of badly polluted land from the
perspectives of planning, economics and sociology. In particular,
this volume offers frameworks for comparison of different national
settings to help determine the preferred and most promising
approaches to contaminated land in any social, economic and legal
policy context.
Witnessing comes in as many forms as the trauma that gives birth to
it. The Holocaust, undeniably one of the greatest traumatic events
in recent human history, still resonates into the twenty-first
century. The echoes that haunt those who survived continue to reach
their children and others who did not share the experience
directly. In what ways is this massive trauma processed and
understood, both for survivors and future generations? The answer,
as deftly illustrated by Nancy Goodman and Marilyn Meyers, lies in
the power of witnessing: the act of acknowledging that trauma took
place, coupled with the desire to share that knowledge with others
to build a space in which to reveal, confront, and symbolize it. As
the contributors to this book demonstrate, testimonial writing and
memoir, artwork, poetry, documentary, theater, and even the simple
recollection of a memory are ways that honor and serve as forms of
witnessing. Each chapter is a fusion of narrative and metaphor that
exists as evidence of the living mind that emerges amid the dead
spaces produced by mass trauma, creating a revelatory,
transformational space for the terror of knowing and the
possibility for affirmation of hope, courage, and endurance in the
face of almost unspeakable evil. Additionally, the power of
witnessing is extended from the Holocaust to contemporary instances
of mass trauma and to psychoanalytic treatments, proving its
efficacy in the dyadic relationship of everyday practice for both
patient and analyst. The Holocaust is not an easy subject to
approach, but the intimate and personal stories included here add
up to an act of witnessing in and of itself, combining the past and
the present and placing the trauma in the realm of knowing,
sharing, and understanding. Contributors: Harriet Basseches, Elsa
Blum, Bridget Conley-Zilkic, Paula Ellman, Susan Elmendorf, George
Halasz, Geoffrey Hartman, Renee Hartman, Elaine Neumann
Kulp-Shabad, Dori Laub, Clemens Loew, Gail Humphries Mardirosian,
Margit Meissner, Henri Parens, Arlene Kramer Richards, Arnold
Richards, Sophia Richman, Katalin Roth, Nina Shapiro-Perl, Myra
Sklarew, Ervin Staub.

With ever increasing computational resources and improvements in
algorithms, new opportunities are emerging for lattice gauge theory
to address key questions in strongly interacting systems, such as
nuclear matter.
Calculations today use dynamical gauge-field ensembles with
degenerate light up/down quarks and the strange quark and it is
possible now to consider including charm-quark degrees of freedom
in the QCD vacuum. Pion masses and other sources of systematic
error, such as finite-volume and discretization effects, are
beginning to be quantified systematically. Altogether, an era of
precision calculation has begun and many new observables will be
calculated at the new computational facilities.
The aim of this set of lectures is to provide graduate students
with a grounding in the application of lattice gauge theory methods
to strongly interacting systems and in particular to nuclear
physics.A wide variety of topics are covered, including continuum
field theory, lattice discretizations, hadron spectroscopy and
structure, many-body systems, together with more topical lectures
in nuclear physics aimed a providing a broad phenomenological
background. Exercises to encourage hands-on experience with
parallel computing and data analysis are included."
