This book is both a plea and an invitation to consider climate change from a multi-faceted perspective, taking into account (geo)physical, social, cultural, psychological, religious, mythological, economic, and judicial viewpoints, among others. As such, it will serve as a useful and necessary guide towards a better understanding of our own mental structures and systems of preferences, ideologies, or beliefs.

This book contains reflections about climate change - an intrinsic reality of our planet’s history over the past 4.6 billion years – including both natural and anthropogenic variations. More recently, the phrase “climate change” has become a euphemism for “carbon dioxide emissions”. While focusing on CO2 emissions is crucial for understanding climate change, solely using this term in scientific discussions may lead to overlooking other complex factors contributing, among other things, to extreme weather events, potentially affecting the quality of evidence analysis. The shift towards using “climate change” interchangeably with “carbon dioxide emissions” within scientific circles, while highlighting a key driver, necessitates ensuring comprehensive discussions that encompass the diverse evidence related to all climate sub-systems. Therefore, using the phrase like a changing climate opens a bigger umbrella that facilitates covering multiple and complex climate manifestations. The book will be useful to students, researchers and policy makers working and studying in the vast and often contentious landscape of climate change debates.

Clima în schimbare. De la frică la realitate reflectă o stare de fapt intrinsecă a istoriei planetei noastre din ultimele 4,6 miliarde de ani. Variațiile naturale se manifestă în intervale care se întind de la decenii la milioane de ani și sunt controlate de o mulțime de factori nonantropogenici. Definiția actuală a „schimbării climei“ a devenit un eufemism pentru emisiile de CO2 din era post-revoluției industriale, emisii care au condus la reificarea și fetișizarea temperaturii medii globale ca indicator al evoluției climei. Fără a proceda la o „reducție climatică“, prin care orice eveniment meteo neobișnuit din ultimul secol este atribuit automat emisiilor umane de gaze cu efect de seră, cartea de față arată că pe tabla de șah climatic joacă mai multe piese, nu doar combustibilii fosili. „Profesorul Constantin Crânganu, care predă științele mediului la Brooklyn College of the City University din New York, nu este un om de știință convențional. Cei care l-au citit deja pe Contributors sau îi vor citi prezentul volum descoperă un spirit polemic, cu pasiunea de a denunța falsurile și excesele vulgatei științifice despre schimbările climatice, ca și despre alte controverse legate de mediu, cum ar fi cea din jurul oportunității explorării gazelor de șist. Nu că profesorul Crânganu ar fi un „negaționist“; dar el refuză politizarea acestor teme științifice și economice în Europa și America de Nord, politizare la care au subscris și subscriu și destui oameni de știință. Constantin Crânganu pledează răspicat și convingător pentru soluții raționale și economic viabile, nu pentru scenarii și profeții apocaliptice, cu care grupări și partide radicale copleșesc mediile de comunicare, exercitând presiuni enorme asupra cercetătorilor și a factorului politic. Clima în schimbare. De la frică la realitate denunță orice «nobilă minciună» formulată, chipurile, în vederea binelui comun; în schimb, oferă un produs pe cât de rar, pe atât de lipsit de un bun marketing în zilele noastre, fiindcă unii l-au clasat deja în rubrica «demodat» – nobilul adevăr.“ Andrei Cornea Constantin Crânganu este geolog, geofizician și profesor la City University of New York. Între anii 1980 și 1993 a fost asistent și lector de geofizică la Universitatea „Al. I. Cuza“ din Iași. În calitate de Fulbright Visiting Scientist la University of Oklahoma (1993), el a făcut cercetări fundamentale și aplicative despre suprapresiunile din bazinele sedimentare, fluxul termic și căldura radioactivă din crusta terestră, exploatarea printr-o metodă personală a zăcămintelor neconvenționale de hidrați de metan etc. În 2018, a primit pentru a doua oară titlul de Fulbright Scientist (o performanță rară). După mutarea la City University of New York (2001), profesorul Crânganu a început o nouă direcție de cercetare: implementarea metodelor de inteligență artificială în studiile de petrofizică și hidrologie. A scris, printre altele, Artificial Intelligent Approaches in Petroleum Geosciences (2015), iar ultima sa carte publicată este Climate Change, Torn between Myth and Fact, Cambridge Scholars Publishing (2021).

Nicht-binäre, transitorische und monströse Körper oder Wesen, die als Abjekte definiert werden können, haben im »Westen« eine lange Geschichte. Immer wieder wurden sie zur Zielscheibe diskriminierender Praktiken. Norbert Finzsch untersucht die Historie der Abjekte in Großbritannien, Frankreich, Deutschland und den Vereinigten Staaten zwischen 1500 und 2023. Trotz großer regionaler Unterschiede und zum Teil erbitterter Rivalitäten teilten alle Länder gemeinsame kulturelle und soziale Ängste vor einer sich verändernden Welt, die sich in der Charakterisierung von Abjekten als »Monster« manifestierten und damit die historischen Wurzeln der Transphobie offenlegen.

Could the Great Pyramid of Giza be a repository of ancient magical knowledge? Or perhaps evidence of a vanished pre–Ice Age civilization? Misinformation and myths have attached themselves to the Egyptian pyramids since ancient Greece and Rome. While many Americans believe that the pyramids were built by aliens, archaeologists understand that the Giza pyramids were built by the pharaohs of the Fourth Dynasty around 2450 BCE. So why is there such a disconnect between scholarly opinion and the popular view of Egypt? In The Legends of the Pyramids, Jason Colavito takes us back to Late Antique Egypt, where the replacement of polytheism with Christianity gave rise to local efforts to rewrite the stories of Egyptian history in the image of the Bible. When the Arab conquest absorbed Egypt into the Islamic community, these stories then passed into Islamic historiography and reentered the West. Colavito's The Legends of the Pyramids lays open pop culture's view of Egypt in movies, TV shows, popular books, and New Age beliefs, detailing how the hidden history of Egypt has grown alongside the official history of archaeology and Egyptology.

There is a fundamental denial at the centre of why we have an environmental crisis – a denial that ignores that endless physical growth on a finite planet is impossible. Nature provides the ecosystem services that support our civilisation, thus making humanity unavoidably dependent upon it. However, society continues to ignore and deny this dependence. A Future Beyond Growth explores the reason why the endless growth economy is fundamentally unsustainable and considers ways in which society can move beyond this to a steady state economy. The book brings together some of the deepest thinkers from around the world to consider how to advance beyond growth. The main themes consider the deep problems of the current system and key aspects of a steady state economy, such as population; throughput and consumerism; ethics and equity; and policy for change. The policy section and conclusion bring together these various themes and indicates how we can move past the growth economy to a truly sustainable future. This volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of economics, sustainability and environmental studies in general.

Environmental Melancholia written by Renee Lertzman and has been published by Routledge this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2015-06-12 with Psychology categories.
In this groundbreaking book, Renee Lertzman applies psychoanalytic theory and psychosocial research to the issue of public engagement and public apathy in response to chronic ecological threats. By highlighting unconscious and affective dimensions of contemporary ecological issues, Lertzman deconstructs the idea that there is a gap between what people care about and what is actually carried out in policy and personal practice. In doing so, she presents an innovative way to think about and design engagement practices and policy interventions. Based on key qualitative fieldwork and in-depth interviews conducted in Green Bay, Wisconsin, each chapter provides a psychosocial, psychoanalytic perspective on subjectivity, affect and identity, and considers what this means for understanding behaviour in relation to environmental crises and climate change. The book argues for a theory of environmental melancholia that accounts for the ways in which people experience profound loss and disruption caused by environmental issues, and yet may have trouble expressing or making sense of such experiences. Environmental Melancholia offers a fresh perspective to the field of environmental psychology that until now has been largely dominated by research in cognitive, behavioural and social psychology. It will appeal to academics, researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of psychoanalysis, psychosocial studies and sustainability, as well as policy makers and educators internationally.
