This work investigates women's emancipation writing in the second
half of the nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries. Many
novelists in various national literatures touched upon the theme of
an emancipated woman in the long nineteenth century and at the fin
de siecle. Philosophers, poets, writers, and journalists were
concerned with this problem and began popularizing wholeheartedly
the so-called "burning" questions. The new femininity was
represented not only in the Christian context; many other
traditions and cultures opened the discussion about the women's
lot. This volume analyzes women's literary voices from different
parts of the world-Turkey, England, the U.S., Italy, Russia, Spain,
and others. Imagination, as it is believed, has no borders and is
dialogical in its nature.

This volume presents an in-depth analysis of climate change
problems and discusses the proliferation of renewable energy
worldwide-in conjunction with such important questions as social
justice and economic growth, providing an interdisciplinary
approach to sustainable development. Exploring various responses to
human-induced climate change, the book offers a critical reflection
on climate change and clean energy and highlights the fundamental
problems of international energy justice and human rights.
Examining these and other climate-related issues from legal,
business, political, and scientific perspectives, the volume also
analyzes the impact of economic factors and policies on climate
change mitigation and adaptation.
This book offers an insight into climate change mitigation and
adaptation strategies and discusses energy justice issues within
this framework. The concepts
of sustainability and sustainable
development have become popular among local communities,
international policymakers, and researchers. In addition to these
important topics, themes such as climate justice, environmental
justice, global energy justice, ecological justice, sustainable
justice, and procedural justice remain attractive to scholars and
researchers internationally. In this book, scholars elaborate
on various responses to human-induced climate change, calling for
action, mitigation, and adaptation, and encouraging further
thorough analysis and research in the field.Â
This book states that sustainable development has become an
influential discourse worldwide. Climate change is not only an
urgent problem, but it is also a fundamental spiritual question
concerning social justice and sustainable peace development as well
as solidarity among people of various religious backgrounds and
different countries. Thus, this global problem must be faced and
recognized for future actions and strategies. However, the politics
of fear must be replaced with a culture of peace, hope, and
compassion, and this urgent problem must be faced with an
optimistic attitude and a certain degree of preparedness. Climate
change is evident in many forms, such as, for example, the most
obvious-recent weather fluctuations that happen around the world.
Floods, droughts, and hurricanes are those visible signs of climate
change. Human-caused climate change is projected to greatly impact
marine, freshwater, and terrestrial life. Temperatures in Alaska
and the Arctic have increased over the last 50 years at a rate more
than twice as fast as the global average temperature. Poor people
are vulnerable to man-made climate change and respond rapidly to
its impacts. Diverse knowledge of and approaches to climate change
help understand this growing problem; global average air
temperature has increased in the recent past by approximately 1.0
DegreesC (1.8 DegreesF). According to the Climate Science Special
Report, the last several years have been record-breaking, and the
period of 1901-2016 is the warmest. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
are still rising, with damaging effects on the Earth's climate. At
the moment, the concentration of CO2 is higher than at any point in
time-at least the past 800,000 years. However, carbon dioxide (CO2)
is not the only GHG that impacts human-induced climate change.

This book bringing together leading researchers in the field of
renewable energy to discuss sustainability on a broad scale and to
examine the status quo of renewable energy industry development in
a global context. The volume starts with the European Union, then
reviews current trends in the United States as well as the Middle
East, Central Asia, and Latin America. It moves on to analyze the
German transition to one hundred percent renewable energy economy
and energy systems (Energiewende) with a climate protection plan
and sustainable economic development; and continues on to examine
the determinants of the adoption of sustainable solutions in
Finland and discuss the renewable energy agenda in the European
Union with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals at its core.
Climate change has become one of the main global drivers for policy
and this book discusses both it's over all global development as
well as spotlighting localized progress across multiple continents.
Over one hundred and fifty countries have developing sustainable
energy policies, tax incentives, and laws. China remains the leader
in renewable energy generation; and countries including the United
States, the UK, India, Spain, and Turkey, compete in the Renewable
Energy Sector to attract investments. In 2018, global investments
in renewables exceeded $200 billion. The state of Bahia in Brazil
has been experiencing a surge in wind energy production; and public
policy has had a positive effect on that expansion. Kazakhstan is a
country with great renewable energy prospects, particularly in
wind, hydropower plants, and solar energy. This book is a
comprehensive overview and invaluable reference for all those in
the renewable energy sector.

persisting societal challenge and a major barrier to human
development. Drawing on intersectionality as an important analytic
and methodological tool, the contributors analyse women's
leadership roles across the world, featuring perspectives on the
US, Israel, and Brazil, amongst other countries. The book also
contributes to the growing field of leadership, presenting
cross-cultural examples and case-studies of outstanding women and
female leaders, as well as discussing contemporary leadership
theories, and examining obstacles to women's leadership. Global
Perspectives on Women's Leadership and Gender (In)Equality will be

the political sciences, women's studies, feminist philosophy,
business development, and history.
