Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This open access book considers the water, energy, food (WEF) nexus in the Pacific region. The region comprises seventeen sovereign countries and seven territories spread across the Pacific Ocean, a blue expanse that covers a fifth of the world's surface area but contains only 0.5% of the population-or 44.5 million people. The uniqueness of the Pacific and the need for a Pasifika-led approach to sustainability across environmental, societal and economical spheres requires this blue continent to be considered in a separate volume under the 'Water Security in a New World' series.This Pacific volume is focussed on water, energy and food security in Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICTs) and the challenges produced by the impacts of anthropogenic climate change and human population pressures. The diversity of culture, traditional knowledge and ways of life across the Pacific are united by similar geographies and opportunities to apply a 'Pacific specific' WEF nexus approach; a coordinated approach to manage water, energy and food that is centred on active decision making across the three sectors to increase the security of each. Importantly, a WEF nexus approach builds on national and international efforts to date in the Pacific which include Integrated Water Resource Management, Ridge to Reef, Source to Sea, UNESCO Biosphere Reserves, Integrated Coastal Zone Management and other similar approaches.In this book, contributions by authors from governments, regional bodies, multilateral agencies, and academia describe water security and its intersectionality with both the energy and food sectors, highlighting the significance of both land and marine food systems and connectivity between water and energy in a Pacific-focussed context. It is demonstrated that these systems cannot be separated from the challenges associated with healthy environments and functioning ecological services, transport, and waste that are unique to this vast archipelagic region. To achieve meaningful change, it is essential that solutions are cognizant of the world's colonial past and the global inequalities that persist today. The path forward for water and food systems is one that is Pasifika-led and builds on traditional knowledge and local capacity. National energy demands must consider the future with solutions comprising both WEF-integrated approaches and new energy technologies to hasten the transition away from fossil fuels. Globally, major greenhouse gas emitters both past and present need to step up for the environmental and economic benefit of all by rapidly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supporting Pasifika leadership on highly ambitious net zero goals.This book is a highly recommended source of information and inspiration for policy makers, decision makers, research communities and practitioners dealing with any aspect of water, energy, or food security in the Pacific. 450 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Der Kapitalismus hat in den letzten Jahrzehnten unbestreitbar einen enormen Wohlstand mit sich gebracht. Warum also, und dies ist die Kernfrage des Buches, wird dieser Kapitalismus immer wieder infrage gestellt, ja sogar teilweise rigoros bekämpft Kritikerinnen und Kritiker sehen im Kapitalismus den Ursprung sozialer Ungerechtigkeit, wachsender Armut und der Klimakatastrophe. Der Kapitalismus setze systembedingt auf unendliches Wachstum, was in einer Welt endlicher Ressourcen so nicht mehr weitergehen könne. Der kapitalistische Wettbewerb fördere eine egoistische Ellenbogengesellschaft anstelle einer gesellschaftlich dringend notwendigen Solidarität. Vor allem die jüngere Generation kann mit dem Kapitalismus vielfach nichts mehr anfangen. Dieses Buch spürt den Gründen für die Entwicklung hin zu einer kapitalismuskritischen Gesellschaft nach und erläutert mögliche Wege zu einem reformierten Kapitalismus, der sozialer, ökologischer und stärker wertebasiert ist. 300 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Die Befassung mit 'Landschaft' hat in den letzten Jahren in der Öffentlichkeit und den Wissenschaften an Bedeutung gewonnen. Verbunden war dies nicht vorwiegend mit den Konflikten, die sich in den letzten Jahren um physische Manifestationen der Verminderung von und Anpassung an den anthropogenen Klimawandel ergaben. In Philosophie und Sozialwissenschaften haben sich - nicht zuletzt ausgehend von einem gemeinsamen Bezugspunkt der 'Philosophie der Landschaft' von Georg Simmel aus dem Jahre 1913 - unterschiedliche Traditionen im Umgang mit 'Landschaft' entwickelt. Diese werden in dem vorliegenden Buch hinsichtlich ihrer Tauglichkeit einer Kritik unterzogen, Antworten auf die landschaftsbezogenen Herausforderungen der Gegenwart, sowohl in Bezug auf Wissenschaft, aber auch Gesellschaft zu leisten. Diese Kritik basiert auf einem eigens hierfür entwickelten kategorialen System, das sich zwischen den Dimensionen Konkretheit-Abstraktheit und wissenschaftsintern-wissenschaftsextern aufspannt. Zentrale herausgearbeitete Kritikpunkte sind neben einer unzureichenden Begriffsarbeit und einer 'Individuenvergessenheit' beider Disziplinen auch die Reduzierung des Landschaftsbegriffs auf den Naturbegriff in der philosophischen Landschaftsforschung. 100 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'The paramount question for most who will read this book is: How do I remain in a profession I love and continue to love the work I do when it seems like the entire system is working against me It is my hope that you will find the answer to that question in this book. Yet, I also want to emphasize that while readers can use the information provided here to enhance their own professional quality of life, my real goal is to reach out to the collective. Change begins with each of us, but at some point, we must make a concerted effort to fix what is broken and transform our work environment. Otherwise, we are just putting a Band-Aid on a wound that will eventually fall off. We have to heal the whole, and that will take the courage of many nurses as well as their resilience, compassion, and yes, passion. The bottom line Quality healthcare is necessary for people in any society to thrive. We cannot have quality healthcare without nurses. So, we need to fix us-our profession, and we need to transform the healthcare settings where we work, creating environments that support the rendering of quality care'--.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book is the first transcription and extensive commentary on a fascinating but almost entirely overlooked manuscript compilation of medical recipes and letters, which is held in the University of Nottingham. Collected by the Marquess and Marchioness of Newcastle, William and Margaret Cavendish, during the 1640s and 1650s, this manuscript features letters of advice, recipes, and sundry philosophical and medical reflections by some of the most formidable and influential physicians, philosophers, and courtly scholars of the early seventeenth century.
