It is predicted that we will lose all of our commercial fish species by 2048. Within the next 60 years all of our planets topsoil is expected to perish. How did we come to this? What are the forces at play that have led us on such a destructive and unsustainable path? Why has the environmental movement taken so long to gain necessary traction?
The answers to these important questions have surprisingly been difficult to find. Very few resources provide the necessary exploration of the broad range of environmental challenges that face our world, nor the solutions to these overwhelming obstacles. Our unstainable methods of consumption have reached an all-time high, and our planet is suffering a great deal as a result. The driving forces behind these high levels of consumption – population growth and increased demand- are leading us into an uncertain future. It is now clear that drastic transformation is needed. It was the unintended consequences of innovation that led us into this situation. But as it stands, innovation will be the primary key to leading us out of it.
Green Is Not A Colour sets the bar straight. By cutting to the very root of the problems we face, we are able to see how the environmental crisis is inextricably linked to every aspect of our lives. By identifying the opportunities- both readily available and in development-that provide the solutions to these problems, the book reveals how human ingenuity will prove to be a powerful tool in steering us onto a sustainable path.

The Routledge Handbook of Environmental Journalism provides a
thorough understanding of environmental journalism around the
world. An increasing number of media platforms - from newspapers
and television to Internet social media networks - are the major
providers of indispensable information about the natural world and
environmental risk. Despite the dramatic changes in the news
industry that have tended to reduce the number of full-time
newspaper reporters, environmental journalists remain key to
bringing stories to light across the globe. With contributions from
around the world broken down into five key regions - the United
States of America, Europe and Russia, Asia and Australia, Africa
and the Middle East, and South America - this book provides support
for today's environment reporters, the providers of essential news
in the 21st century. As a scholarly and journalistic work written
by academics and the environmental reporters themselves, this
volume is an essential text for students and scholars of
environmental communication, journalism, and global environmental
issues more generally, as well as professionals working in this
vital area.

How would the history of an urban area look if water were at the
center of analysis? Water in the Making of a Socio-Natural
Landscape explores the transition from early modern to modern water
management in late nineteenth-century Rome. It merges local water
management with national water policies aimed at promoting
irrigated agriculture, industrial processes, and public health. It
investigates perceptions and conceptualisations of water, changes
in the water law, engineering projects, medical knowledge and
practices, value of water in different productions, and needs and
uses of local stakeholders. From which derives that water
infrastructures are the complex outcome of the clash between
different users and uses of water as well as the dynamic
interaction between different levels of power. In this book, it
builds upon Maria Kaika's Cities of flows and Erik Swyngedouw's
Liquid power to introduce a new dimension to the analysis of urban
water: the interaction among the three main uses of water:
drinking, agriculture, and industry. Water in the Making of a
Socio-Natural Landscape is written for a specialist readership with
an interest in environmental and urban history and science and
technology studies, but it can also be used by graduate and PhD
students.

Environment Reporters in the 21st Century is the story of a
relatively new journalistic beat, environmental reporting. This
book explores the development of the environmental beat as a
specialty during the last thirty years. It also discusses broader
trends within American journalism resulting from technological
changes that challenge traditional mediums, especially newspapers
and magazines.
The book is divided into three parts. The first reviews the
literature and explains the methodology. The second describes the
results of the authors' research. The third provides in-depth
accounts of environment reporters at work. A final chapter puts the
research in historical perspective, viewing it in terms of the
economic decline of the newspaper business and of local television
news.
Journalists mediate a constant struggle among thousands of
environmental activists, corporate public relations people,
government officials, and scientists to shape environmental
reporting. This volume tells the story of environmental reporting
imaginatively and innovatively.
This volume offers a comprehensive view of posters presented at the
VIIth International Conference on Event Perception and Action.
Arranged in order of appearance of their corresponding symposia on
the conference program, this collection of 80 miniature articles on
event perception and action represents the work of 136 researchers
from 13 countries.

From two leading, agenda-setting feminist editors, Believe Me
brings readers into the current landscape of the anti-sexual
violence movement--and outlines how believing women is the critical
foundation for future progress. Essays include Jessica Valenti
writing about how a woman's word has never been enough in our
country, giving context to the question of why we don't believe
women. Jaclyn Friedman draws that idea out further, articulating
why it matters that women are believed about sexual violence -
because doing so finally grants us bodily sovereignty, impacting
whether we can be trusted about pain, about pleasure, about
reproduction and beyond. Other top-tier contributors touch on: how
race and class impact which kinds of women are believed; the ways
that women's behaviour (what they wear, what they were drinking)
trumps their testimony and words; how believing white women has
harmed communities of colour; visions of masculinity that aren't
dependent on undermining women. Part taking stock of recent
feminist movements, part visions for a way forward, Believe Me has
the potential to spark real change and to appeal to the countless
men and women who have been engaging with #metoo and looking to
feminist leadership for next steps.
Double standards are nothing new. Women deal with them every day.
Take the common truism that women who sleep around are sluts while
men are studs. Why is it that men grow distinguished and sexily
gray as they age while women just get saggy and haggard? Have you
ever wondered how a young woman is supposed to both virginal and
provocatively enticing at the same time? Isn't it unfair that
working moms are labeled "bad" for focusing on their careers while
we shake our heads in disbelief when we hear about the occasional
stay-at-home dad?
In "50 Double Standards Every Woman Should Know," Jessica Valenti,
author of Full Frontal Feminism, calls out the double standards
that affect every woman. Whether Jessica is pointing out the wage
earning discrepancies between men and women or revealing all of the
places that women still aren't equal to their male counterparts--be
it in the workplace, courtroom, bedroom, or home--she maintains her
signature wittily sarcastic tone. With sass, humor, and
in-your-face facts, this book informs and equips women with the
tools they need to combat sexist comments, topple ridiculous
stereotypes (girls aren't good at math?), and end the promotion of
lame double standards.
Up Against the Wall: Art, Activism, and the AIDS Poster offers
nearly 200 examples of visually arresting and socially meaningful
posters. Taken from more than 8,000 held in the collection in the
University of Rochester's River Campus Libraries' Department of
Rare Books, Special Collections, and Preservation. The collection,
one of the largest of its kind in the world, was donated to the
University of Rochester by Dr. Edward Atwater. The book accompanies
an exhibition of AIDS education posters displayed at the Memorial
Art Gallery of the University of Rochester, Rochester, NY. The
posters, spanning the years from 1982 to the present, show how
social, religious, civic, and public health agencies have addressed
the controversial, often contested terrain of the HIV/AIDS pandemic
within the public realm. Organizations and creators tailored their
messages to audiences, both broad and very specific, and used a
wide array of strategies, employing humor, emotion, scare tactics,
simple scientific explanations, sexual imagery, and many other
methods to communicate powerfully and effectively.
