This major, definitive anthology of writings is a complete and
up-to-date guide to environmental literacy. This major anthology is
the first to apply a fully interdisciplinary approach to
environmental studies. A comprehensive guide to environmental
literacy, the book demonstrates how the sciences, social sciences,
and humanities all contribute to understanding our
interrelationships with the natural world. Though not specialized,
Environment is a book that even specialists can learn from. Ten
innovative case studies--climate shock, species endangerment,
nuclear power, biotechnology, sustainable development,
deforestation, environmental security, globalization, wilderness,
and the urban environment-are followed by readings from specific
disciplines. These can be integrated with the case studies to shape
individual interests and teaching strategies. The volume presents
an imaginative array of texts, from scientific papers to poetry,
legal decisions to historical accounts, personal essays to economic
analysis. Taken together, these selections provide a balanced,
authoritative, and up-to-date treatment of key issues in
environmental studies.

Lawrence, Ashton Kutcher and Gary Sinise. When a domesticated
grizzly bear called Boog (Lawrence) gets lured into leaving the
creature comforts of home by a fast-talking mule deer named Elliott
(Kutcher), he finds himself lost in the woods just three days
before hunting season begins. Forced to rough it in the great
outdoors, Boog goes native, rallying all the forest animals to take
back their home and send the hunters packing.
This book is about innovation ecosystems, Clusters of Innovation
(COI) and the Global Networks of Clusters of Innovation (GNCOI)
they naturally form. What is innovation and why is it important to
us? Innovation is nothing less than the ability for constructive
response and adaptation to change. The cause and catalyst for that
change is frequently identified as technology and its unceasing
pressure to improve on existing solutions and address unmet needs.
The last decade has painfully demonstrated that exogenous
environmental shocks are also sources of change that call for
innovative responses, ranging from the obvious challenges such as
global warming and Covid-19 to the more subtle social and political
perturbations of our time. Entrepreneurs, in collaboration with
venture investors and major corporations can create a flywheel of
constructive engagement, a cluster of Innovation, that helps build
the resiliency of our communities to adsorb and rebound from these
shocks. The process is enhanced when actively supported by
government, universities, and other elements of the ecosystem. This
book provides the tools for understanding this value creation
process and the means to enhance it, in both emerging and mature
innovation ecosystems. This book provides a framework for
understanding innovation in mature and emerging innovation
ecosystems to a wide swath of professionals and academics, from
senior executives of major corporations, government leaders, public
policy makers, and consultants, to academics, researchers, and
educators.

Originally published as a political pamphlet in 1848, amidst the
revolutions in Europe, The Communist Manifesto documents Karl Marx
and Friedrich Engels's theories on society and politics. It does so
by defining the state of the class system in contemporary Europe in
which a larger, lower class is controlled and oppressed by a
tyrannical, oppressive upper class. The Manifesto argues that, at
some point in history, the lower class will inevitably realize
their potential and exploitation and subsequently revolt. Once this
occurs, Marx and Engels argue, there will be an uprising among
proletariats that shifts political and economic power, ultimately
resulting in the dismantling of class systems and capitalism.
Additionally, in the Manifesto, Marx and Engels also predict the
future state of the global economy and discuss their viewpoints on
private property, while also addressing many other topics pertinent
to today's world. Although written nearly 170 years ago, The
Communist Manifesto is still widely read and cited. Amid the
current turmoil between social classes and the societies of the
world, its revolutionary prose and ideas can still yield ripe food
for thought.

This timely book provides an astute assessment of the institutional
and constitutional boundaries, interactions and tensions between
the different levels of governance in EU criminal justice. Probing
the conceptual and theoretical underpinnings of the EU's approach
to transnational crime, it proposes improved mechanisms for public
participation in the governance of EU criminal law, designed to
ensure better transparency, accountability and democratic controls.
Influential scholars from across Europe analyse key practical
challenges to the governance of EU criminal law in the context of
specific crimes, including financial crime, cybercrime and
environmental crime. Offering sector-specific perspectives on
tackling transnational crime, insightful chapters examine the
potential options for criminal-law cooperation between the EU and
the UK after Brexit, and consider to what extent these avenues may
represent enhanced mechanisms for the governance of transnational
crimes and common security threats in the future. This important
study will prove crucial reading for academics, researchers and
postgraduate students examining EU, transnational and comparative
criminal law, as well as European integration studies and
constitutional law more broadly. Practitioners and policy-makers
working in the EU's Area of Freedom, Security and Justice will also
benefit from this book's practical insights into the mechanisms of
EU law and justice.

This Handbook provides a comprehensive overview of current
developments, issues and good practices regarding assessment in
social science research. It pays particular attention to the
challenges in evaluation policies in the social sciences, as well
as to the specificities of publishing in the area. The Handbook
discusses the current societal challenges facing researchers, from
digital societies, to climate change and sustainability, to trust
in democratic societies. Chapters provide ways to strengthen
research assessment in the social sciences for the better, by
offering a diverse range of experiences and views of experts from
all continents. The Handbook also outlines major data sources that
can be used to assess social sciences research, as well as looking
at key dimensions of research quality in the social sciences
including journal peer review, the issue of identifying research
quality, and gender disparities in social science research. This
book will be an essential read for scholars interested in research
assessment in the social sciences. It will also be useful to policy
makers looking to understand the key position of the social
sciences in science and society and provide appropriate frameworks
for key societal challenges.

Exploring the emerging and vibrant field of critical agrarian
studies, this comprehensive Handbook offers interdisciplinary
insights from both leading scholars and activists to understand
agrarian life, livelihoods, formations and processes of change. It
highlights the development of the field, which is characterized by
theoretical and methodological pluralism and innovation. The
Handbook presents critical analyses of, and examines controversies
about, historical and contemporary social structures and processes
in agrarian and rural settings from a wide range of perspectives.
Chapters explore the origins of critical agrarian studies, the
concepts underpinning the diverse theoretical approaches to the
field, and the strengths and weaknesses of different methodologies
used within the field. Finally, it illuminates debates around the
topic and trajectories for future research and development. This
will be a vital resource for graduate students, scholars and
activists interested in critical agrarian studies. The analytical
and empirical insights will also be helpful to students of
environmental and development studies as well as agricultural and
development economics, human geography and socio-cultural
anthropology.
