When it comes to the climate, we don’t need more marketing or anxiety. We need established facts and a plan for collective action.
The climate is the fundamental issue of our time, and now we face a critical decision. Whether to be optimistic or fatalistic, whether to profess skepticism or to take action. Yet it seems we can barely agree on what is really going on, let alone what needs to be done. We urgently need facts, not opinions. Insights, not statistics. And a shift from thinking about climate change as a “me” problem to a “we” problem.
The Carbon Almanac is a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between hundreds of writers, researchers, thinkers, and illustrators that focuses on what we know, what has come before, and what might happen next. Drawing on over 1,000 data points, the book uses cartoons, quotes, illustrations, tables, histories, and articles to lay out carbon’s impact on our food system, ocean acidity, agriculture, energy, biodiversity, extreme weather events, the economy, human health, and best and worst-case scenarios. Visually engaging and built to share, The Carbon Almanac is the definitive source for facts and the basis for a global movement to fight climate change.
This isn’t what the oil companies, marketers, activists, or politicians want you to believe. This is what’s really happening, right now. Our planet is in trouble, and no one concerned group, corporation, country, or hemisphere can address this on its own. Self-interest only increases the problem. We are in this together. And it’s not too late for concerted, collective action for change.
The principle of policy coherence has been the object of a
contentious debate in the European Union's external relations,
though discussions have been mainly limited to its foreign policy
and its ability to speak with one voice in the international arena.
Despite being institutionalised in the Treaty of Maastricht, policy
coherence for development (PCD), which implies taking into account
the needs and interests of developing countries in non-aid
policies, failed to make headway in the European Union, remaining
the unheeded concern of some NGOs and a small group of Member
States. A change of direction occurred in the early 2000s when the
European Commission, taking advantage of a number of favourable
conditions and using an astute strategy, managed to set an
ambitious agenda for the European Union. This volume analyses the
linkages between aid and various non-aid policies, namely trade,
agriculture, fisheries, security, migration, and the social
dimension of globalisation. Its aim is to shed new light on the
EU's policy-making process, by looking at the nexus between various
policy sub-systems, and on the role that the EU wants to play in
the international arena, by looking at the impact of its policies
on international development.
This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of
European Integration.
This book discusses the domestic politics of treaty reform in the
European Union, from the failed referendums on the Constitutional
Treaty held in France and the Netherlands in May-June 2005 to the
entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon in December 2009. The
chapters, written by some of the finest scholars in the field of
EU/European politics, show how European integration has
increasingly become a contested issue in a majority of Member
States. Going beyond the view that national governments are the
main, if not the sole, driving force in the process of European
integration, this book shows that other actors and factors have
played a central role in preference formation and inter-state
bargaining. These include: political parties, public opinion, the
media, presidents, constitutional courts and, more broadly,
political systems, ratification hurdles and the general negotiation
context.National Politics and European Integration combines
empirical analysis and theoretical explanations for one of the most
controversial periods in the history of the European Union. This
important book will be of great interest for advanced students in
EU studies, comparative politics and public policy.
A board book based on The Lorax for Dr. Seuss's youngest
fans-perfect for encouraging a love of nature! The Lorax shares his
love of animals and plants and need to "speak for the trees" in
this simple, sturdy board book about caring for the environment.
Printed on recycled board and written in rhymed verse, it's an
ideal introduction to the story for toddlers and preschoolers too
young for the classic picture book. Now everyone in the family-even
pre-readers-can take pleasure in the frolics of the Brown
Bar-ba-loots, Swomee-Swans, and Humming-Fish and embrace Dr.
Seuss's timely message about protecting the planet!
Gender considerations and civil society are both major issues in
the current debate about the implementation of EU development
policy. This volume provides a new perspective and focus on the
increasingly important issues of gender equality, democracy and
participation to explain how they impact on policy. This book will
appeal to those interested in the European Union, in EU external
relations, gender issues, civil society, and development.

Over the last few decades, research in elastic-plastic torsion
theory, electrostatic screening, and rubber-like nonlinear
elastomers has pointed the way to some interesting new classes of
minimum problems for energy functionals of the calculus of
variations. This advanced-level monograph addresses these issues by
developing the framework of a general theory of integral
representation, relaxation, and homogenization for unbounded
functionals. The first part of the book builds the foundation for
the general theory with concepts and tools from convex analysis,
measure theory, and the theory of variational convergences. The
authors then introduce some function spaces and explore some lower
semicontinuity and minimization problems for energy functionals.
Next, they survey some specific aspects the theory of standard
functionals. The second half of the book carefully develops a
theory of unbounded, translation invariant functionals that leads
to results deeper than those already known, including unique
extension properties, representation as integrals of the calculus
of variations, relaxation theory, and homogenization processes. In
this study, some new phenomena are pointed out. The authors'
approach is unified and elegant, the text well written, and the
results intriguing and useful, not just in various fields of
mathematics, but also in a range of applied mathematics, physics,
and material science disciplines.
